Introduction
About the Programme
Welcome to the Historic and Botanic Gardens Trainee Programme
(HBGTP). This Handbook is intended to provide answers to many of the
questions that a new trainee may ask. It cannot possibly answer them all,
but it is a good place to start.
The original scheme was established by English Heritage with funding
support from the Heritage Lottery Fund, and has provided work-based,
practical training placements since 2006. Over 150 aspiring horticulturists
have begun their career at some of the nation’s finest heritage and
botanical gardens. The training has been top quality, producing highly
motivated professional gardeners committed to a career in heritage
horticulture. Almost every trainee has completed their placement and
gone on to either secure a job in horticulture or continue their horticultural
education. Our trainees are full of talent, passion and enthusiasm and
have gone on to establish themselves as future Head Gardeners and
green space managers. Their legacy can be seen in the fact that so many
of our successful trainees are now supervisors on the current training
programme.
Research indicates that the horticultural sector has a significant skills
problem, with an ageing workforce that has already lost many of its most
highly skilled and experienced staff. The sector has consistently struggled
to recruit new entrants, particularly young entrants. This is in part due
to a lack of awareness amongst careers advisory services, and also
commonly held perceptions of horticulture as being a dead-end career
with few prospects for career progression, low pay and difficult working
conditions. Furthermore, employers report that horticultural graduates do
not possess the skills and knowledge that they need. In the past, most
horticulturalists qualified through an apprenticeship route, spending years
honing their practical skills and learning their trade before qualifying. Most
entrants now have only completed a relatively short theory-led Level 1 or
Level 2 qualification. They need several more years of training and skills
development before being capable of fulfilling employers’ needs.
In response, EH have formed a partnership with Capel Manor College
(CMC), to deliver a new programme that will expand the scheme’s
3
training offer whilst building on its legacy.
The scheme’s latest innovation retains the one-year practical skills-led
placements (Stream 1) but introduces a new two-year option (Stream 2)
combining work-based placements with formal study periods to attain an
RHS Level 3 Diploma. In this way, the scheme will continue to provide a
guided entry to the sector for those with interest and basic knowledge but
will also provide those who have some experience with the training and
formal study needed to meet employers’ needs.
Whether you are on a Stream 1 or a Stream 2 placement, the HBGTP
will ensure that you are amongst the best and most promising new
horticulturalists coming into the industry.
Note: This Handbook is for use by trainees on the 1 year placement
programme.

Summary
In order to complete the Historic and Botanic Garden Training Programme
the following need to be completed:
•
•
•
•
Practical training at your host gardens
A written garden project every three months (Appendix 4)
A technical diary (Appendix 5)
Plant identification tests of at least 10 plants on a weekly basis
(Appendix 7, 8 and 9)
Practical training at your host gardens
When you begin your placement you will complete an Individual Training
Plan (ITP) with your supervisor. This will guide and record your learning
through the duration of the placement. See Appendix 1 for a sample ITP.
It is based on an initial assessment of your skills and training needs.
This assessment is completed by your Supervisor in consultation with
you, alongside the HBGTP Training Support Officer. The ITP is subject
to change if opportunities arise for you to gain additional learning. Your
subsequent garden projects, plant idents and technical diary entries will
reflect what was agreed in your ITP.
You will be assigned a Supervisor and a Mentor in your host garden.
The Supervisor is required to meet regularly with you to discuss your
work programme. Likewise, the Mentor is expected to have occasional
meetings to discuss your progress in confidence. The Mentor is looking
particularly at skills gaps, career objectives and any concerns you may
have.
On a quarterly basis your Supervisor is tasked to read your technical diary
and garden project documentation before you hand this in to the scheme.
They will then complete a Feedback Form on your progress which they
submit to the HBGTP. The HBGTP Training Support Officer in turn then
provides feedback to you, a copy of which is given to your Supervisor.
This cyclical process ensures connectivity between you, the scheme and
your Supervisor.
At each site a member of staff is identified as your Mentor (for example,
the Host Garden’s Senior Gardener or other). Your Mentor will understand
8
the objectives and learning outcomes of the placement. You and your
Mentor need to establish a confidential relationship of trust through
occasional one-to-one meetings. Your Mentor will provide professional
insight, careers advice and guidance, and will discuss and agree suitable
objectives in support of your professional development
In essence, you are employed and line managed by the host garden and
need to adhere to the garden’s usual staff rules and procedures.
The host garden is required to provide you with all the personal protective
equipment (steel toe-capped boots, hard hat, gloves, etc.) which you
need to stay safe whilst performing your duties. Many of the gardens
involved in the scheme also provide staff with uniforms. The garden is
also required to ensure that you have access to a computer and internet
whilst on site.
The host garden is required to deliver induction training (including aspects
of health and safety), provide an employment contract, and undertake
an appraisal of your training needs and skills gaps at the start of your
placement. For more information on what to expect from your induction,
see Appendix 6.
You will also be required to complete garden projects, technical diary and
plant idents within your host garden.
Pastoral care will be provided by the HBGTP Training Support Officer
during work placements, your seminar and study tour. Pastoral care is
further provided in the workplace by your Mentor.
Trainee Seminar
The Trainee Seminar will take place from 17th-18th October at Dunford
House Conference Centre, Midhurst. This event will allow you to meet
and interact with other trainees on PGG placements. We hope that the
seminar should provide you with a chance to network and exchange
ideas. You will also receive guidance on your future career development
and how to make the most of your time as a trainee. Please make sure to
keep your diary clear so as not to miss out on this valuable opportunity!
9
Study Tour
The Study Tour will take place over a long weekend in late May or early June 2016. This event is based at the Royal Agricultural University,
Cirencester, and incorporates visits to a wide range of gardens in the
Cotswolds. There will also be talks from leading professionals in the horticultural world, and group sessions on career development and optimising
your CV.
Failure to Complete
This can be the result of various issues such as:
● Sickness or personal circumstances
● Poor attendance
● Poor studies
● Poor practical
Very few of our trainees have failed to complete their placements and
those that have left the scheme have usually done so because of
personal circumstances, rather than because of any dispute with their
placement provider. The HBGTP Training Support Officer and HBGTP
Manager can assist in the arbitration of any disputes between you and the
placement provider. The aim is to address any concerns quickly and to
act with tact and diplomacy. On a small number of occasions, where the
placement provider has failed to fulfil their obligations, the scheme has
been able to secure an alternative placement for the trainee. However,
this is not always possible and should not be considered a standard
option. Sometimes, the best option is for a trainee to finish early by
mutual agreement.
The HBGTP Training Support Officer will visit you at your host garden
very early on in your placement and this will enable potential difficulties to
be spotted early and appropriate interventions to be made. It is important
that you feel you can discuss any concerns with the HBGTP Training
Support Officer, in confidence. It is up to you to speak up and not to ‘bury’
your worries. The HBGTP Training Support Officer will discuss possible
solutions to any problems and you will both agree on the actions to be
taken.
10
Practicalities
Costs
Salary: The host garden pays half of your salary and the scheme pays
the other half. We can provide this bursary to the garden because of the
funding we receive from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF).
Salary
The salary you receive is set by the organisation you work for so it will
vary between trainees. Remember that each organisation is trying to
fit your salary into their existing salary structure. The scheme requires
that each host garden pays a salary no less than the National Minimum
Wage. The National Minimum Wage varies between ages. This changes
each October and you can always check the current figure from the
government website: www.gov.uk/national-minimum-wage-rates.
Tax
Your tax status will vary according to your contact with the garden. If you
have student status at your host garden, you get tax exemption on your
salary. This is a matter for negotiation with your employer and not with
the scheme. Your local tax office will also be able to help you with this.
However, you are welcome to discuss any concerns with the HBGTP
Training Support Officer or HBGTP Manager, who may well be able to
help you.
Contracts
You have two contracts: one with the scheme and one with your
employer, the host garden.
Equipment
The trainee is expected to provide their own stationery, including
notebooks. Trainees will be expected to access local and national library
resources including the Lindley Library in London.
All host gardens will provide the basic personal protective equipment
(PPE) required to undertake the daily work. This will include steel toecapped boots, gloves, ear protectors and other items required for specific
machinery.

Not yet appointed
HBGTP Training
Support Officer
This is a new post, created to assist with the assessment and support of
the trainees in their work placements. The Training Support Officer (to
be appointed in September) will take on the task of visiting the trainees
at their host gardens, and of providing feedback on their projects and
diaries on a quarterly basis. The role will also involve close liaison with
Supervisors and Mentors.
Reporting: Submissions and Feedback
You will be expected to submit your diary, one completed garden project and a list of your plant idents on a
quarterly basis. You need to upload these to the HBGTP Dropbox (a link will be sent to you). The HBGTP
Training Support Officer will review your work and you will be given feedback. Guidelines and samples for
projects, diaries and idents can be found here: http://www.hbgtp.org.uk/about/scheme-documents/
You will be alerted when it is time to submit your work and it is critical that you do this on time. Failure to
do so means that you will not get the feedback and your work will not be acknowledged by the scheme.
It is important that your Supervisor reviews your work before it is submitted to the scheme. It is your
responsibility to ensure that this appointment is made and that the Supervisor is given good notice of the
date. Make sure it is in in both your and their diary in advance.
Social Media
The scheme is keen to promote social networking between our trainees, both present and past. We have
therefore set up the following page and feed, which you may find useful to follow/like.
Facebook: www.facebook.com/HBGBS
Twitter: www.twitter.com/HBGBScheme
13
The scheme website is also a useful resource: http://www.hbgtp.org.uk/
Promotion of the scheme is important in attracting good trainee
applicants, good host gardens and further funding. Please help us to do
this by letting us know when there is something interesting you have done
so that we can put it on Twitter or the Facebook. Likewise, if you find
your name ‘in lights’ somewhere (perhaps in the local newspaper or if you
win an award), do let us know. At all times, remember to acknowledge
that our funding comes from the Heritage Lottery Fund. They have been
marvellous to us and we would like to express our gratitude at every
possible opportunity.
Trainee FAQs
Q. How extensive is a garden project?
This depends on what your research produces. Quality, not size, should
be the aim. A well-planned garden project will naturally come to an
end. A poorly planned garden project ends up with you having loads of
information and no write-up.
You may have a project that is practical with limited written text, or it may
be a desk-top study that has plenty of information to record. You may
have a project with lots of data: if it is, for example, a propagation study,
you may need to record temperatures, compost mixes and germination
rates. The use of the appendix is important: if your project involves a
lengthy list, then place it in the appendix and reference it in the main body
of the text.
However big or small the project, you will always need to write a structure:
Summary, Aims and Objectives, Methodology, Findings, Conclusion and
Bibliography.
Q. If my garden project is covering the whole year/6 months etc. how
can I hand it in on a quarterly basis?
Upload the Introduction, Methodology and Aims and Objectives for the
first quarter. These should all be in place at the start of your garden
project. After that, you should upload your project at whatever stage you
have reached, in order to allow the HBGTP Training Support Officer to
14
provide you with feedback on your progress.
Q. Do you need the originals of my design/plans?
No – just send copies. Do not go to great expense with giant copies – a
photo of your plans at high resolution should be perfectly clear.
Plant Identifications
Q. Do you want a list of my results?
Not really, although it is great to see if you are doing well. What is
required is a list that shows how many plants you are learning each
quarter and what information you learn alongside that (e.g. family,
distribution, cultivation or propagation). If you are doing plant profiles,
then include those too.
Practical problems
Q. Can I email this submission to the HBGTP Training Support
Officer?
No, regrettably the English Heritage email systems have very limited
capacity. Just upload your work to Dropbox and it can be accessed
from there by any of the scheme staff. If you have any problems, please
contact Anna, the Scheme Administrator
Study Tour & Trainee Seminar
Q: Do I have to attend the Study Tour?
Yes, unless you are unable to attend due to agreed special
circumstances. The Tour is a key part of your year’s training.
Q: Will accommodation, meals and transport be provided?
Yes. Accommodation will be provided, and there will be a minibus to take
you on garden visits. All meals will be provided, with a range of dietary
options.
Q: Will my transport be paid for to get to the Study Tour/Seminar?
Yes. All reasonable expenses incurred in travelling to the Study Tour or
Seminar will be paid back to you. When booking train tickets, please
try to book advance for a standard fare only. If travelling by car, please
co-ordinate travel with other trainees as much as possible to save on
unnecessary expenses.

in the family list.
Royal Horticultural Society: RHS Plant Finder
www.rhs.org.uk/plants/search-form
The RHS Plant Finder can give expert help and advice on growing,
feeding, pruning, pest and diseases. Search by plant name, attribute,
or both to find plant details and a list of suppliers. The website also
highlights certain trends, such as a list each year of the most stocked new
plants. When a specialist nursery goes out of business, there is a “Last
Listed” section which tells you when a plant was last there. Sometimes
you can track down the nurseryman and some of their remaining
collection. Wholesale nurseries are excluded.
The RHS Plant Selector, based on the Plant Finder, is a hugely popular,
free tool from the RHS that enables you to enter a wide range of
conditions such as damp soil, shade or ground cover into a database.
RHS Horticultural Database
http://apps.rhs.org.uk/horticulturaldatabase/index.asp
The RHS has been developing the RHS Horticultural Database. The
objective is to bring together, in a single cohesive structure, as much
horticultural information as possible, based around a comprehensive
index of garden plant names.
Using the proprietary botanical gardens database management software,
BG-BASE™, this is already being used for garden plant records for the
RHS gardens, nursery information, RHS National Collections, RHS trials,
Award of Garden Merit plants and literature references.
General Botany Resources: Online Databases
There are two primary resources used by botanists for finding out the
correct spelling of a plant name, the authors who published it, and the
journal in which it was published. These are TROPICOS, an online
19
database of the Missouri Botanical Garden and the International Plant
Name Index (IPNI) maintained by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

Appendix 4 - Guidelines: Garden Project
There are two key objectives in tasking HBGTP Trainees to do projects
during their placements. The first is to encourage you to undertake
independent research that draws you into areas where there are specific
information sources on the sector. For example:
• If you are doing a history project you may like to visit the Lindley
Library at the Royal Horticultural Head Quarters in Vincent Square,
London (http://www.rhs.org.uk/About-Us/RHS-Lindley-Library).
• If you are doing a plant taxonomy project you could check-out the
online databases available on the RBG Kew website (http://www.kew.
org/collections/index.html).
• If looking into a particular genus, you would benefit from finding out
where the National Collection is held (www.nccpg.com).
• If you are trying to locate particular plant suppliers you could access
the Plant Finder online (https://www.rhs.org.uk/rhsplantfinder/).
The second objective is to reinforce what you have probably learned
in the past – how to structure a report in a coherent and succinct way.
This is vital for any senior staff, whether they are reporting to their
management committees or making funding applications.
Broad guideline on structure
• Title page – including your name.
• Contents – including page numbers.
• Summary of project – just half a page or so.
• Aims & objectives – why this topic and what do you hope to achieve?
• Methodology – how are you going to go about getting the information?
• Findings – in direct relation to your objectives.
• Conclusions – were you successful? Could the project have been done
differently in hindsight? What were the barriers or unexpectedly useful
things you got out of it?
• References – including personal communications. This is a whole
subject in itself (see below Bibliographic Citations), but essentially you
need to be able to back up anything you say with evidence – what
book, website, or person gave you the facts you have referred to?
23
Additional Items (optional)
• Additional notes as an appendix – things you found interesting but not
directly relevant.
• Ideas about where you would like to take your findings.
• Thoughts on the potential for further research.
Conclusion
• The project does not have to be huge. Ask yourself at the start: given
you have just three months to complete it, what can you realistically
produce? 10 pages, 20? Photos, diagrams, graphs, plans? Have an
idea of what the project will look like at the end.
• There is no mark at the end – you don’t pass or fail. The journey is
all – like the placement itself, it’s what you learn from doing it that
matters. There is a Garden History Society’s essay prize (June) that
you may like to go in for and I believe Horticulture Week have a similar
opportunity.
• The scheme does send out one essay from each trainee for external
viewing. This is to ensure that the work is independently reviewed by
an outside assessor. Again, no pass or fail, it’s just a means of ensuring
we are working at the Level 3 standard that we are aiming for.
Do:
• Type up electronically. Plans and drawings can be posted in hard copy
if necessary.
• Discuss the objectives in the conclusion.
• Compress/reduce photographs if necessary to make the information
electronically transferable.
• Break up large pieces of texts with subheadings.
• Enjoy the work – it should be fun rather than drudgery. If the objectives
are clear you will find it sails along
Don’t
• Produce 10 volumes!
• Take-up additional work time – this is largely home study.
• Panic if the information is not panning-out as you hoped: sometimes
the conclusion reached is that the project objectives were misguided or
unrealistic. That’s fine as long as you can back this up with evidence
that you have looked into the matter thoroughly.

Appendix 5 - Guidelines: Technical Diary
As part of the HBGTP placement year, each trainee is required to keep a
daily record of their horticultural activities. The object is to encourage
you to develop the habit of professional observation and reflection.
The technical diary is an opportunity to record horticultural tasks and
techniques that are undertaken during the placement, including any tasks
that are of particularly significance to the specific garden. The technical
diary should be word processed and be made available for inspection by
your Supervisor throughout the placement period. Every three months,
the technical diary entries, along with one garden project and an updated
ITP, should be sent to the HBGTP Training Support Officer by uploading
them to Dropbox.
General Items for Inclusion
• At the beginning, state the trainee name, name of the garden and the
length of the placement
• Also include a description of the garden or the part of the garden that
you are particularly working in – reflect on the aims of the garden
• Describe and explain the practical tasks undertaken (what, where, how,
why, who with?) – be analytical, not ‘chatty’.
• Detail your daily routines and areas of responsibility
• Note any additional duties (if applicable) that you undertook
• Note any machinery that you used and the purpose for its use
• Describe visits to places of horticultural interest
• Note additional training received on or off site
• Note the weather conditions that you were working in
Additional Items (Optional)
• General observations regarding plant health/flowering times/fruiting/
habit.
• Other interesting horticultural activities taking place elsewhere in the
garden e.g. tree inspection/topiary clipping/demo to the public
The technical diary should not be elaborate and the length of entries
should vary according to the day’s activities; some days may be longer
when particular skills may be detailed, whereas other days maybe more
mundane. Your technical diary must be illustrated with photographs/
sketches/plans and tables which relate to the text.
28
The technical diary should be made available to the Supervisor
throughout the year and be taken to appraisal interviews for inspection.
You will submit your diary for final assessment by your Supervisor at the
end of your placement.
Ensure that your name, placement garden and dates of placement are
clearly marked on the electronic attachment that you submit. Trainees
may be asked by the HBGTP Training Support Officer to submit items or
photographs from their technical diary for the scheme website.
Scheme Trainee Technical Diary: Summary
• Make the information readily accessible by including
a contents section, a brief introduction and page
numbers. Ensure that the work is properly referenced
with sources of help acknowledged.
• Load digital photographs or diagrams in a sensible
format to make them open easily electronically and
ensure that they are titled.
Presentation
• Ensure that the type font is large enough to be read

easily.
• Lay the work out in a logical sequence.
• Divide long blocks of text into smaller sub-headings,
paragraphs or bullet points.
• Check the spelling of plant names and ensure that
they are italicised/underlined as appropriate.
• Check for spelling mistakes and grammatical errors.
• Use plenty of illustrative material, but not to the

Level of detail
• Try to avoid long gaps or missing out days.
• Describe practical tasks and techniques in some
detail, as this is useful evidence of learning.
• The technical diary is a prime opportunity for
personal comments and musings. It is of value to see
your ideas develop and your understanding increase.
29
Appendix 6 - Induction
Your introduction to the garden will be both formal and informal. Part of
the formal process is known as your induction. This will be designed to
ensure that you know all of the key facts about the site and the people
who work there. At the finish of your induction you should know where the
main elements of the site are located (i.e. wash facilities, potting shed,
Supervisor’s office) and what to do in the event of an accident (e.g. who
is the first aider, how to contact them and what to do in the event of a
‘near miss’). An induction is very important and must take place before
you are involved in specific work-related duties.
Induction Check List
The induction should include the following elements:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
A tour of the premises and introduction to key staff.
A description of the company’s legal responsibilities and duty of care.
A description of the trainee’s legal responsibilities to themselves and
others.
A description of the company’s health and safety policy, organisation
and arrangements.
A description of supervision arrangements.
Identification of significant risks and control measures.
The trainee should be informed of prohibitions and health and safety
rules.
A description of emergency and fire arrangements.
Information about first aid arrangements.
A description of accident, ill health and other incident reporting and
investigation; and
A description of manual handling hazards and protective measures
If applicable to the specific garden, the following should be discussed:
•
•
•
Provision and use of personal protective equipment and clothing.
Safe use of equipment and machinery; and
Protection from noise, dust, fumes and hazardous substances.
30
With particular regards to the placement, the induction should include:
•
•
•
A description of what the trainee will do and what is expected of him/
her in terms of achievement, behaviour and appearance during the
placement.
An explanation of who the trainee should report to daily, as well as who
is available if s/he encounters any problems.
Training on any equipment the trainee might be expected to use. If, at
a later date, the trainee is expected to use a new or different piece of
equipment, additional training should be given at that time.
The person responsible for the trainee is required by the Health and
Safety at Work Act 1974 to do the above.
The Induction Form must be signed by both the Placement Supervisor
and the trainee to acknowledge that the induction has been completed by
the end of the first fortnight after the placement begins.
The scheme will retain a copy of this form.
Appendix 7 - Guidelines: Plant Identification Tests
You are required to undertake a regular plant identification test. This
should be set by your host garden, and a nominated member of staff will
deliver it. The test may be initiated with a walk around the room/garden/
glasshouse looking at the plants and discussing their key features. It
is expected that you will follow up this initial introduction with your own
research looking at the list in more detail. There are plenty of useful
websites links in Appendix 3 to support your research.
The basic identification test record that you should keep must include
the following details: Family, Genus, Species. You may record this as
a typed list or as a table. Additional information is recommended (e.g.
where the plant originates from, where it likes to grow in the garden,
key identification features and perhaps some historical detail such as
when it was introduced). You may include photographs, but this is not
a requirement. Beware of spending too much of your time formatting
pictures. Devise a quick and easy format to add to on a weekly basis.
Submit your plant identification lists along with your technical diary and
31
garden project at the end of each quarter.
Recommended websites for verifying the correct names of garden
plants:
There are two primary resources used by botanical horticulturists
for finding out the correct spelling of a name: TROPICOS, an online
database of the Missouri Botanical Garden and the International Plant
Name Index (IPNI) maintained by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
However, professional gardeners are more likely to look at the
Royal Horticultural Society database (http://apps.rhs.org.uk/
horticulturaldatabase/index.asp) in order to clarify the correct spelling or
nomenclature for a plant they are working on.
Appendix 8 - Nomenclature
The scientific name of a plant normally consists of two parts: its generic
name (the name of the genus; plural: ‘genera’) and its specific epithet.
This forms the name of a species.
Note: the word ‘specie’ has no validity in botany. ‘Species’ is both singular
and plural.
These names should always be printed in italics (underlined if
handwritten or if an italic font is not available).
• The generic name always has a capital initial letter.
Examples: Primula; Pimelea; Sarcococca
•
The specific epithet should always have a lower case initial letter, even
when derived from a person’s name or when a noun.
Examples: Primula vulgaris; Pimelea prostrata; Sarcococca hookeriana
•
•
In some cases, the epithet of a subspecies, botanical variety
(‘varietas’), or forma is also given. Subspecific and varietal epithets and
those of formae are treated in the same way as specific epithets but
the abbreviations subsp., var. and f. are printed in Roman, not italics.
Where known, the appropriate abbreviation should always be included
32
to avoid any ambiguity.
Examples: Primula vulgaris subsp. sibthorpii; Pimelea prostrata f.
parvifolia; Sarcococca hookeriana var. digyna
Note: The term subspecies is sometimes abbreviated to ssp. but this
is liable to be confused with sp., the abbreviation for species (singular)
or spp., the abbreviation for species (plural). Therefore, subsp. is the
preferred abbreviation for subspecies.
•
Where the genus is quite clear from the context, it may be abbreviated
to a single letter (eg: in a paragraph about roses, repetitions of Rosa
may be shortened to R.); it is not good practice to abbreviate any other
parts of a plant name, or to indicate the plural use of a generic name by
doubling the initial letter (eg: RR. or Rr. for several species of Rosa).
Authorities
• For precision when using plant names, it is helpful to include the
authority for a name. This is the name of the person who gave the
name to the plant. The author’s name may be written out in full or
abbreviated according to a standard list of abbreviations, and should
be in Roman. When a name is changed, the author of the original
name is placed in parenthesis and the new author added:
Examples: Fragaria vesca L. (named by Linnaeus), Scilla socialis Bak.
(named by Baker) was changed to Ledebouria socialis (Bak.) Jessop
(changed by Jessop!).
Hybrids
• When plants of two species or more are crossed, the resultant
seedlings are known as hybrids. A hybrid can be indicated by
writing the names of the parents, in alphabetical order, linked by a
multiplication sign (or a lower case ‘x’ in Roman if a multiplication sign
is not available). This is a hybrid formula.
Examples: Hebe elliptica × H. speciosa;
Odontoglossum crispum × O. harryanum × Cochlioda noezliana
Many plants known to be hybrids are given new names. In hybrids
between species of the same genus, the specific epithet is separated
from the generic name by a multiplication sign (or ‘x’).
Example: Hebe × franciscana (H. elliptica × H. speciosa)
•
33
In hybrids between species of different genera, the hybrid generic
name is preceded by a multiplication sign.
Examples: × Mahoberberis (Mahonia × Berberis); × Citrofortunella (Citrus
× Fortunella);× Potinara (Brassavola × Cattleya × Laelia × Sophronitis)
•
Graft-chimaeras involving two genera are treated as cultivars but
denoted by an addition sign preceding the new generic name.
Examples: + Laburnocytisus ‘Adamii’ (Laburnum + Cytisus);
+ Crataegomespilus ‘Bronvaux’ (Crataegus + Mespilus)
•
Graft-chimaeras between species in the same genus can only be
indicated by adding a hybrid formula after the name.
Example: Aesculus ‘Dallimorei’ (A. flava + A. hippocastanum)
•
Orchid hybrids are often referred to by their parentage. To avoid writing
out several long generic names, these are often reduced to a standard
abbreviation.
Examples: × Lc. (× Laeliocattleya); Paph. (Paphiopedilum); × Smbep. (×
Schomboepidendrum)
•
Note: Although there are many hybrid genera in the orchid family, it is
common practice among orchid growers and in orchid literature to omit
the multiplication sign. This can, unfortunately, cause confusion for those
not familiar with orchid nomenclature.
Cultivars - Garden Varieties
• New cultivar names must be coined in a modern language such as
English, but many older ones are latinised and are therefore not always
easily distinguished from botanical names. However, the style of writing
cultivar names is quite different.
• Cultivar names should always be printed in Roman type, each word
with a capital initial letter (except for conjunctions, particles and
prepositions) – even when latinised. They should be enclosed in
single quotation marks (never double). Cultivar names consisting of a
person’s name with initials should include stops and a space between
the initials and the surname. Hyphenated names are treated as one
word. Abbreviations require a stop; contractions do not.
Examples: Potentilla fruticosa ‘Daydawn’; Clematis ‘Belle Nantaise’;
Crocosmia ‘Jenny Bloom’; Mahonia repens ‘Rotundifolia’;
Tulipa ‘Queen of Sheba’; Erica × darleyensis ‘J.W. Porter’;
34
Prunus mume ‘Omoi-no-mama’; Narcissus ‘St Keverne’
Trade Designations
• When plants are registered for Plant Breeders’ Rights (PBR) under
a code-name or have a cultivar name in a foreign language, they are
often sold using an alternative name or a translation, both of which
are termed trade designations. These are not regarded as direct
equivalents of the cultivar name and should not be printed in the same
way. A trade designation should always be quoted in tandem with the
cultivar name (except where this is not known) and styled in a different
font (capital letters are often used but need not be), without single
quotation marks. Translation of cultivar names is to be discouraged and
there is no necessity to use translations when the original is known.
Examples: PBR: Rosa RADIO TIMES ‘Aussal’
Rosa MEMENTO
Fragaria Pink Panda ‘Frel’
Translation: Potentilla fruticosa MOONLIGHT ‘Maanelys’
Hydrangea macrophylla Blue Prince ‘Blauer Prinz’
Trademarks
• Increasingly, plants are being sold using trademarks as alternatives to
or in addition to cultivar names. Strictly speaking, trademarks should
not be quoted without permission from the trademark holder, but in
some cases there is no alternative name to use. Trademarks are not
cultivar names or trade designations but are best treated in the same
way as trade designations with the addition of ™ or ® as appropriate.
Examples: Rosa LA SEVILLANA® ‘Meigekanu’
Rosmarinus SILVER SPIRES™
Petunia Surfinia® Hot Pink ‘Marrose’
Grexes and Cultivar Groups
• For cultivated orchids, use is made of grex names for plants sharing
the same parentage, as well as cultivar names for individual clones.
In other cases, assemblages of related or similar plants are placed in
cultivar-groups. Both grex and group names are printed in Roman, with
capital initial letters. The word ‘Group’ is always part of group names,
but the word ‘grex’ or the abbreviation gx is optional and may be used.
Examples: grex: Cymbidium Strathdon; × Vuylstekeara Cambria ‘Plush’
group: Hosta Tardiana Group
Rhododendron (PJM Group) ‘Rim Checkmate’
35
Polystichum setiferum (Divisilobum Group) ‘Divisilobum Densum’
Families
• The names of plant families should be printed in italics (or underlined)
with a capital initial letter.
Examples: Rosaceae; Berberidaceae; Compositae
Common Names of Plants
• Unlike botanical and cultivar names, common names are governed by
no international rules. However, our recommendation is to print them
always in Roman type, with lower case initial letters except when the
word is a geographical or personal name. This applies also when the
scientific name is used as the common name and if the scientific name
is turned into a plural.
Examples: potato; good King Henry; rhododendrons; camellia; Jersey lily;
proteas
• A common name can be combined with a cultivar name in place of a
generic name where the context allows.
Examples: potato ‘Cara’; lily ‘Enchantment’; rose ‘Excelsa’
Appendix 9 - Plant Identification List
In order to clarify the correct spelling or nomenclature for a plant you may
like to refer to the Royal Horticultural Society plant list (see below). The
plant lists are a useful guide to plants you could cover in your weekly
plant identification tests. Your Supervisor may like to broaden your
learning to include plant diseases and disorders, pests and beneficial
animals, seeds and seedlings and tools and equipment.
