Other clematis names – e.g. biennially – but I hope readers will feel nevertheless unregistered epithets, synonyms, mis-spellings that it has been worth the wait. – are also published, as part of the Checklist One advantage of the delay is that I can now function of this publication. draw attention to the fact that an article I wrote on Registration is a voluntary procedure and does the definition of Cultivar Groups has recently been not confer any legal protection on the plant.

My hope is that the Fifth Supplement will contain a checklist of as many as possible Group definitions subsequently established, noting whether those are novel or if they enhance or contradict the original definitions – but I felt it important, for clarity, not to do this until the baseline had first been presented. Acknowledgements I should like to acknowledge the help of very many people whose contributions have helped to make this Supplement possible, particularly those who have volunteered registrations in timely fashion.
