The International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (ICNCP) is a guide to the rules and regulations for naming cultigens, plants whose origin or selection is primarily due to intentional human activity. [1] It is also known as Cultivated Plant Code.
Feb 14, 2023 · The International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants provides rules for the creation of cultivar names. It also asserts that a cultivar name can't be trademarked. That means when a plant is offered for sale, any seller can use its cultivar name (as long as the plant itself is not patented).

Have you ever wondered why botanical or scientific names are so crucial? Much like specific co-ordinates or postal codes, botanical names—also known as binomial nomenclature—are essential for uniquely identifying plants. This system uses two names: the genus and the species. For instance, Taraxacum officinale denotes the common dandelion. This univ...
The sheer number of plant species is immense. Scientists estimate there are approximately 300,000 plant species, and when including fungi, moulds, mushrooms, and toadstools, the total rises to around 450,000. Despite this, we still have much to learn about the world’s plants. Estimates suggest that 15-20% of plant species have not yet been describe...
The International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN) governs the formal naming of plants, ensuring that each taxonomic group, or 'taxa,' has only one globally accepted name. When a new plant is discovered, it is given a botanical name and formally described according to international regulations. A recent innovation in the ICBN is the introducti...
Plants, like all organisms, are classified in a hierarchical system that reflects evolutionary relationships. Taxonomists, such as Linnaeus, work to place organisms within an evolutionary framework. Organisms are classified into five kingdoms: Animalia (animals), Plantae (plants and some multicellular algae), Fungi (fungi), Monera (prokaryotic bact...
At the lowest level of classification is the species, a concept still not fully understood. Traditionally, a species is defined as a group of similar individuals that can reproduce successfully among themselves while remaining reproductively isolated from other species. However, the evolutionary continuum and the vast range of variation make this d...
The International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (ICNCP) regulates the naming of cultivars, cultivar Groups and graft-chimaeras. Examples are. » Clematis alpina 'Ruby' : a cultivar within a species. » Magnolia 'Elizabeth' : a hybrid between at least two species. » Rhododendron boothii Mishmiense Group: a Group name.
Cultivated plant taxonomy is the study of the theory and practice of the science that identifies, describes, classifies, and names cultigens —those plants whose origin or selection is primarily due to intentional human activity. Cultivated plant taxonomists do, however, work with all kinds of plants in cultivation.
