CULTIVAR.ORG Editor's Note: this is working copy of OROC Book VIII, covering all genera of woody plant cultivar registrations in our system from OROC's inception in 2015 to present. In general, we are accepting cultivars from 2013 onward if they have not been published in a reference manual. This is a review copy for our subscribers and partners. It is not a finished, complete work. It is however a useful interim reference and is intended to assist authors and educators of all types to communicate new cultivar data. We also know that many curators, private collectors, growers, and breeders now use the OROC system to seek out and acquire new germplasm as well as measure the strengths of their own introductions. OROC has been a wonderful success and worth all the long hours, funds, and early frustrations. More than 58,000 unique visitors from 121 countries have looked at the OROC registers online (Google Play Books and Cultivar.org) and we cannot of course count the number of offline views from downloaded copies. Please get a copy or two and share with your friends, students, coworkers, clients, and anyone else who loves the best ornamentals on earth. It is 100% free and designed to be a powerful educational tool in the public and private interest. The finished Book V in Version 5.2 was completed on May 11, 2017 and considered a stable, finished document suitable for citation as follows: Hatch, L.C. (General Editor) and M. Summers. 2017.

They will be files in order by genus and OROC Registration Number in the future. The OROC Declaration and OROC Principles and Remedies used to drive, motivate, and inform the project are found at the end of this document. The recently revised Trademark Policy (Principle 20) is being evaluated worldwide by many parties as a useful document in the handling of complex trademark vs. cultivar situations. INTRODUCTION: We have endeavored to produce as accurate and useful descriptions as possible based on all available information on these new and often very rare cultivars. This registry is never finished so if you know more (and can document it) please contact us at [email protected] with OROC in your subject line. Where no descriptions are placed please rely on the under URL link to view the originator's or a major vendor's description. Your data submissions today will make those free books happen. Thank you in advance. Before I ramble on...OROC is not pronounced like a popular, light weight, hotel lobby vacuum cleaner but as "Oh-rock" something like the snazzy and garish lime green or orange IROC Chevy Camero you or your dad may have had in high school. If you're a Millennial...Google IROC before your phone catches fire. Hope that helps. We hope to rock. We wish we could delay publication until every last detail of every cultivar was nailed down, vouchered, taxonomically perfect, sealed in plexiglass domes for all time, DNA fingerprinted, placed in foirty-six reference LEED Gold certified Green collections, and otherwise documented to near perfection. But at some point, you just need to release the data to our highly knowledgeable readership and get feedback, moving on to the next register while hoping to improve this one every single day and week. This is preliminary data and that is what people tell us they want. If this book is too "quick and dirty" for you please write the ISHS and ask if their registrars are doing better with these taxa and when to expect a free woody plant registry with more than 0.1% of all new cultivars. CULTIVAR.ORG Kudos cubed to both Marks, Janice, Little Lisa, Max K., and Lloyd for helping beyond measure, fixing my mistakes, and being data magnets and skilled writers. More than 100 people sent data and we thank you for helping nurture and foster this passionate, niche community. That sounds horrible. We just...thank you. When OROC published Book I we received many favorable comments and we are still delighted by a steady flow of Google Play Books and Cultivar.org downloads on a regular basis. It's still 100% free and always will be as long as I have breath. It turns out Book I was a slightly depressing experience for some folks. "I had no idea..." and "I'm so behind...out of touch" was emailed a time or twenty. One experienced guru used the term "shock and awe". The frightful and yet exciting tsunamic volume of cultivar knowledge today is humbling to everyone unless we're individually spending 500 hours a year seeking it out and devouring it in big bites on a daily basis with near religious furvor. We went from sad to glad, dumb to slightly informed, in the space of weeks. OROC is abstracting stuff...1000 hours a year if required. Some wise collectors, breeders, plant materials experts, students, designers, directors of this or that, consultants, big growers, plant people of all shapes and sizes, curators, taxonomists, gurus, future gurus, and otherwise well connected plant people did not know about a large percentage of the plants we registered. Neither did I. So maybe this remains a good idea. If this Book makes you or me feel more eager to learn and click, empowered, charged up, ready to dig up more of your lawn for planting beds, crazy and insane to acquire some new cool plants, happy about the general state of gardening universe, loving those devoted plant breeders, bringing your students up to pace, and with a vast new knowledge base, we at OROC have done our job. If we went "above and beyond" and we knocked your socks over to the next county, please write. If we didn't - also please write and tell us how to get better. Better yet...join us. OROC Certified Cultivar Registers must study, read entire volumes and many articles, and pass a rigorous exam regardless of previous formal education and background. Tell us what you think because we truly care. - Larry Hatch Chief Registrar and General Editor www.cultivar.org [email protected] New Cultivars from Book VIII: Version 8.0 and 8.1 Registration is pending for all these items and they will be assigned OROC numbers and alphabetized with the existing registrations below from Book V when this process is complete.
