dave said:This is what you proposed:

Genus: Tagetes
Species: erecta tall
Cultivar: Chrysanthemum shape
Trade name: Russian Marigold
Series: Chrysanthemum shape
Common name: Russian Marigold

Almost everything about that is wrong.

This plant is not part of a series and has no trade name. Also, "Chrysanthemum shape" is not a cultivar name, it is a description of the plant and does not belong anywhere in the plant entry. Ditto with the word "tall" - that is not part of the species epithet.

You have a yellow form of African Marigold (Tagetes erecta)

@Dave, this is no ordinary African Marigold it's a new cultivar. and if my information was wrong could you not just add it yourself to the database in the correct manner?
