Taxonomy Of Ornamental Plants (TOOP) by Laurence Hatch

Fourth Edition available mid 2024

We are thrilled to announce that a much expanded, updated version of TOOP is now available as a digital textbook on Amazon. This substantial reference is now 190 pages. The first three editions were distributed privately among cultivar.org subscribers to receive feedback, corrections, and additions. Numerous updates were made from more than thirty people submitting comments and many times questions they had on the subject. We've added much more material, new images, and discussion of literature as recent as 2023. This dramatically expanded Fourth Edition is now available to the general public as a stand-alone ebook.

This reference makes a very useful textbook for a specialized university or botanic garden course. It is not a basic guide to plant taxonomy and assumes intermediate knowledge of that subject. Our emphasis is at the cultivar level but also includes practical examples for identifying and delimiting cultivated species.

This text is part of our extensive training for OROC (Open Registration Of Cultivars) and these persons upon completion of our curriculum and an exam become Certified Registrars. 

Advanced discussion of the taxonomy of ornamental landscape and ornamental interior plants with reference to the following topics:

1. Cultivar fingerprinting with extensive literature review and links
2. Cultivar documentation, registration, and nomenclatural standards
3. Identification methods from traditional to computer-assisted AI
4. Extensive review of classic and recent literature (with links)
5. Phyllometrics, florimetrics, cladometrics, and other biometric methods (with examples)
6. Horticultural monographs, specialty websites, dissertations, and theses
7. Trademarks in nomenclature
8. Colorimetric (color description) systems and other descriptors
9. Formation of cultivars, cloning, recloning, clonification, seedage decline, imposter clones
10. Function of cultivar groups in taxonomy
11. Cytotaxonomy and genetics
12. "Live herbarium" using digital imaging and flatbed scanners
13. Characterization of leaf variegation
14. Modern and practical keys to garden taxa
15. Taxonomic understanding of transgenic and GMO ornamentals
16. Radical taxonomic concepts applied to garden plants (cultons, clades)

Price: PDF digital $69.00
