zuzu said:When we're unable to find the cultivar name, we repeat the series and trade name (without the copyright or trademark symbol) on the cultivar line as a space saver. The entry subsequently is edited after we find the correct cultivar name.

How then, is a reader to know that the series and trade name is not also the cultivar name? If you need a place holder, wouldn't "unknown" (or something similar) be more appropriate and accurate?

There must be something you're not mentioning (in the interest of brevity, no doubt) that gives some logic to this action......
