Adam "Irisman" et al.,

The ISHS (International Society for Horticultural Sciences) has overall
responsibility for registration of names of cultivated plant
varieties.  They have a web site,

http://www/ishs.org/icra

where you can see who is responsible for each genus.  This might be an ar=ea
where a responsible society could step in, if they have a concerned,
conscientious individual to perform the duties.  It appears that the ICRA
for genus Arisaema belongs to the INTERNATIONAL AROID SOCIETY (IAS) URL
=  http://www.aroid.org/  or e-mail to <selbyhort at aol.com>

There is a detailed book of rules for how these names are to be made, the
"International Code for Nomenclature of Cultivated Plants."

Any selected clone can be given a name, whether hybrid or not.  Parentage
information is optional, depending on the attitude of the ICRA
(International Cultivar Registration Authority" -- i.e., the registrar fo=r
the particular genus).

I'm no expert on this.  Kevin Walik <giboshiman at aol.com> (hostas and
daylilies) is however very very knowledgeable about the ICNCP, if you can='t
get information from IAS.
