Hatch's Interior Plants (HIP) has been updated and expanded. It is now being printed as Houseplant Cultivars (HPC). As many of you requested, the content is becoming available in ebook, paperback, and hardback editions for use in libraries and locations where print versions are more effective. As many of you know, new cultivar names are not nomenclaturally valid until in distributed print form, meaning digital files cannot be cited and are ignored by some experts. It is essential that many names be validated with print formats and we intend to do this is an ambitious and professional manner. To give a nomenclature standard and be a source of authority these changes were necessary. This is not a cheap nor easy adventure but one that the industry, collectors, and horticulture in general both deserves and demands.

New Houseplant Cultivar Registration:
1. You must have originated (found, discovered, bred) the plant to register it or have permission to market and name it from the originator. If the originator is unknown and you've made every effort to find their person or organization, we will provisionally register the plants, assuming no patent searches or valid documentation finds the true owner. We cannot register new wild species because there is already an approved botanical, academic process for naming true wild species and subspecies.
2. The cultivar does not have to be strictly "new" but can be a clarification of existing nomenclature with confused clones or just something missing from tradtional houseplant guides. If it needs to be defined, redefined, or clarified for the trade, it's part of this project.
3. The new cultivar must be available commercially by a least one source in the world (website, auction site, nursery, botanic garden). Your ebay and Etsy store count. We will not register a new sport that is not yet propagated, commercially sold, or for "general interest" as one well-meaning person told us. Cultivars names are for the trade, for commerce, and not to catalog our personal, private collections and unique sports. Please give those accession numbers until they merit being sold. Please include a link to a source so we may include it. Unlike some ICRA or academic registers we actually want people to find and buy your plant and do not have a ban on commercial references. This is free promtion to thousands of eager plant collectors and industry leaders.
4. We do not register Begonia, Saintpaulia and other gesneriads, Bromeliads, carnivorous plants, waterlilies, Tradescantia, Fuchsia, Hibiscus, orchids, and any non-ornamental plants as there are existing registrars who ably handle those cultivars. We will help you reach them if you need a link or two.
5. You must include a full description of the plant with measurements of height/width, leaves, flowers, and colors when possible. Include history and origination data. A link to a retail or wholesale nursery source is welcome as are any informational pages on the web.
6. Email to ornamentals@lycos.com with "OROC" in the subject line. Please include a JPG image if you can and any copyright terms you wish us to include for that image. If you wish to donate the image to this project, please note that as well.
7. We will contact you back with your registration information, estimated date of publication, and any additional information that is required.
8. There is no charge for this service and we will fully publish your cultivar name in a manner that makes it valid under the nomenclatrual code. Initially registrations may appear in digital format here on this or related pages.
9. This registration (nor any other cultivar registration) provides no (zero) legal rights such as patent protection, plant breeders rights, or registered trademark of names. Those are separate processes operated only by governmental agencies. This process of printed publication does make your name nomenclaturally valid and established as would peer-reviewed, academic literature. Your cultivar registration may include an unregistered trademark (no legal stuff required) such as Plantus communis 'Smithpink' PINK QUEEN™ but will only publish a registered trademark if you provide documentation from your country's trademark authority that the name has been registered and is active.
10. Our cultivar registration is under the auspices of the Open Registration Of Cultivars (OROC) project and under their rules. OROC since 2017 has documented more than 400 new woody plants, 300 perennials, and over 50 interior, tropical plants. OROC is a consortium of experts worldwide devoted to making up for the lack of cultivar registration by the other ICRA processes. No one was doing it or doing it right (except for a few genera and families named above) so OROC decided to fund it and make it happen.
11. Thank you for helping make houseplant nomenclature standardized worldwide and more stable!
