Omeiensis ‘Praecox’. [49] Commercial breeders have produced enormous numbers of cultivars and cultivar names. Some have found popularity and have therefore persisted and remained available to gardeners but huge numbers have not done so and have been lost or remain only as references in the literature. The popular practice of naming new cultivars for people (friends, growers, popular personalities or royalty) or the nursery originating the new cultivar is a form of flattery.

The present scope of the Code is expressed in the Principles, which have evolved from the de Candollean Lois: 1 Botanical nomenclature is independent of zoological nomenclature. The Code applies equally to names of taxonomic groups treated as plants whether or not these groups were originally so treated. 2 The application of names of taxonomic groups is determined by means of nomenclatural types. 3 The nomenclature of a taxonomic group is based upon priority of publication. 4 Each taxonomic group with a particular circumscription, position and rank can bear only one correct name, the earliest which is in accordance with the rules, except in specified cases.
