What is the role of botanical gardens in naming Plumeria?
Botanical gardens play an essential role in naming Plumeria species and varieties, especially when new plants are discovered or introduced to cultivation. Botanical experts in the gardens participate in the identification, description, and classification of new Plumeria species. Their work involves conducting taxonomic studies, comparing plant characteristics, and verifying the plant’s distinctiveness within the genus. Botanical gardens also collaborate with researchers, taxonomists, and botanists in sharing plant information, publishing research findings, and adding valuable data to global plant databases. The expertise and resources of botanical gardens contribute significantly to the proper and accurate naming of Plumeria species, facilitating the exchange of knowledge among the scientific community and horticulturalists.
