Are there any naming conventions for Plumeria cultivars?
While there are no strict naming conventions for Plumeria cultivars, there are guidelines that breeders often follow. Cultivar names should be unique and not previously used for another registered Plumeria cultivar. The name should not infringe on trademarks or existing copyrighted names. Some breeders choose names that describe the cultivar’s appearance, scent, or other distinctive features. Others may name cultivars to honor a person, location, or special event. Following these guidelines ensures that cultivar names are clear, meaningful, and not easily confused with other varieties, allowing for accurate identification and communication within the horticultural community.
