Can a Plumeria cultivar have multiple names?
Yes, a Plumeria cultivar can have multiple names, especially if it is distributed and marketed globally. Commonly, a single cultivar may be known by different names in various regions or languages. Additionally, the same cultivar may receive multiple names if different breeders or nurseries introduce it independently and name it separately. Despite having multiple names, the cultivar retains its unique genetic identity and characteristic features. Standardized cultivar registration and naming guidelines help avoid duplication and maintain clarity in identifying and discussing specific Plumeria cultivars within the horticultural community.
