This completely revised and up-dated 6th edition (the last being

naming of agricultural, forestry and horticultural plants.
The Rules are drawn up by the International Commission for the
Nomenclature of Cultivated Plants, a body acting under the aegis
of the International Union of Biological Sciences (IUBS).
These Rules are divided into Articles, Recommendations and Notes
which define the basic categories of cultivated plants and how to
form and stabilize their names.
A number of appendices, including directories of registration
authorities, a quick-guide to forming new names, a list of
existing check-lists and registers and an extensive glossary,
make this edition a totally indispensable reference work for
all those dealing with the proper names of cultivated plants.
An essential tool for:
Taxonomists
Plantsmen * The Nursery Trade * Raisers of New Plants
Keen gardeners
Authors * Journalists * Editors
Teachers
Compilers of plant lists and directories
Governmental bodies * Registration authorities
