| For many years, HIP or Hatch's Interior Plants was a paid subscription reference priced at $85.00 per user. It was successful but not commonly known, the the sort of thing horticultural libraries and interior plant experts knew about; and not too many other folks. Known for having more cultivars of interior plants than any reference as well as all the new cultivars, HIP is now 100% free of charge with our new business model of supporting the research through paid ads and donation supporters. The web is full of house plant references but this one is different. Besides more cultivars and new cultivars, HIP is written by a leading, graduate-trained horticultural taxonomist and a trained team at cultivar.org to assure accuracy, precision of description, and great identification tips. You'll find our images to be larger, more detailed, and clearer than most references with our new standard of 1250 pixels in width. Our descriptions are more detailed and whenever possible we cover the histories and origins of new cultivars. Yes, yes, we are the nerds who read those plant patent and PBR applications. Many of the foliage and interior plant originators work with us to get the word out on their new plants. And where else are you going to find data on 1600 different Coleus cultivars! |
| YOUR AD HERE....yes literally. Email us at ornamentals@lycos with "HIP Ad" in the subject line to receive a rate card. Reach tens of thousands of motivated plant buyers for fair, affordable rates. Standard banner-sized ads will appear here and link to the site or pages of your choice. |
 Help expand HIP with more plants, more images, new research!Donations start at US$1.00 while $100.00 gives you access to free, licensed images for your own sites and projects. |
 Acalypha - Brugmansia REVISED 10.11.2020, 10.24.2020 289 pages Have we figured out the complex, confusing cultivars of Alternanthera? Not fully but our 87 cultivar descriptions, detailed nomenclatural studies, literature reviews back to 1860, and loads of detailed images from documented collection will surely help improve our understanding and create a dialog for future clarifications. This genus was just added from our old annual/bedding plant system. This last update adds more Aglaonema cultivars and images but our focus here of late has been the compilation of 95 different Alocasia cultivars, corrected names, more synonyms, our original research, and many more images, some dating to the 19th century from old manuscripts. |
 Agave NEW FILE 9.26.2020 moved from Hatch's Perennials More than 630 names and synonyms of cultivars, the very most complete cultivar study we've ever done and lots of very wide, high resolution images, full of source links and history of cultivars too. There is more to do and we're working on adding even more cultivars as they appear. For even more images we highly recommend Tony Avent's PDN insanely wonderful Agave galleries (three of them) here: https://www.plantdelights.com/apps/photo-gallery |
| Aloe We're working on a new Aloe cultivar checklist with detailed descriptions, links to originator's sites, sources for buying, and images. The first draft will be about 275 different cultivars. Please write us if you have a special Aloe cultivar to share with the international audience. We are interested in everything from smaller, even dwarf houseplant types to the massive outdoor landscaping clones. |
 Genera C 255 pages REVISED 11.4.2020, 11.22.2020 Added various new cultivars, especially in Caladium and a sizeable update to Crassula. Most recently we updated Callisia with new and cultivars, also Chlorophytum. |
 Coleus (International Register) now more than 1600 different cultivars, including those from 1859 to present times. Through the aid of the the International Coleus Society, this authoritative register is far more complete than any Coleus book and is an "all in" approach that puts all we know about individual cultivars in one place; images, descriptions, nursery catalog scans, histories, cultivar trial reports, and identification tips. Check out the newest Coleus scans from our Cultivar.org trials in 2020.    |
 Darlingtonia - Exceocaria REVISED 9.19.2020 Now 33 cultivars of Epipremnum, not including synonyms |
 Euphorbia pulcherrima (Poinsettia) Check out these new 2021 cultivars with bracts in light green and a true amber-gold, both naturally colored by their genetics (no paint, no dye, no glitter). Put the 'Early Green Envy' against one of the vanilla-toned whites and the 'Golden Glo' with pinks and reds....watch out! Awesome.   |
 Ficus - Gynura REVISED 9.28.2020, 11.9.2020 79 pages Added x Fatshedera and Fatsia, big expansion of Ficus to now 142 cultivars, the most you will find described anywhere, lots of new images too. Just added Gasteria and x Gasteraloe too. |
 Haemaria - Ixora |
 Hedera helix Cultivars A to L MAJOR REVISION 11.17.2020 154 pages Hedera (valid for all cultivars except H. helix A to L) See list below under OROC below for a list of 26 newly registered ivies. Most were originally published in our woody plant registers available free at cultivar.org and many include very large, detailed color images.To learn about the latest cultivars with huge images start with the file here: orocwoodyhm.pdf Hedera is undergoing a major revision since the 2010 Version of the IVYfile as we have long called the illustrated guide to over 400 cultivars, many of them rare and not found in the leading ivy books and websites. If you have a new cultivar to share please email us for it's inclusion.    |
 Hippeastrum |
| Jatropa - Myrtillocactus |
| Nematanthus - Oxalis REVISED 10.31.2020 106 pages Now 171 different Nephrolepis cultivars, many new images and historical plates, more than any reference we know. Some new research has determined that the original N. exaltata 'Childsii' from 1918 is almost identical to the cultivar grown today as 'Emina' ('Erecta', 'Curly Boston' in part, 'Curly Locks', 'Miniature Crested') and not the 'Childsii' in Benedict's papers. Have a look and see if you agree, comparing the modern material to the 1918 and 1919 data. |
| Pachira - Pteris REVISED/SPLIT FILE 8.29.2020, 10.10.2020, 1.1.2021 Loads of new Peperomia, Pilea, Plectranthus, Philodendron and more, 14 cultivars of Portulacaria. The new Peperoma scandens (serpens?) 'Silver Haze' is shown below. This is our official nomenclatural standard, published here for worldwide documentation.  |
| Pelargonium including scented taxa NEW FILE 8.23.2020 |
| Radermachera - Spathoglottis REVISED FILE 10.18.2020 121 8 x 16 in. PDF pages Now 202 different cultivars of Sansevieria and many more synonyms, lots of new images too. If you need clarity on the S. trifasciata clones this is a good resource. |
 Saintpaulia |
 Syngonium |
 Theobroma - Zingiber REVISED 9.20.2020, 10.10.2020 Now with 13 distinct Zamioculcas cultivars, including images and their patent data, more Tradescantia names and cultivars from historial and modern catalogs |

How to get more out of HIP:
|
| How to submit a new plant: email
us with as full a description as possible, measure leaves or flowers
and height if possible, comparisons to other species
or cultivars, details of origin, and if possible a link or two where it
is sold or further info (cultivar introduction, article, orignator's
page). If you own the copyright of a JPG image and wish to donate it to
this project in the public interest we thank you and your contribution
will be acknowledged. Your submission will be submitted to a trained
Cultivar Registrar with the Open Registration Of Cultivars (OROC)
program and acknowledged. You must put "OROC" or "new cultivar" in the
subject line to assure prompt consideration. OROC list of excluded genera (these are registered by other organizations and societies in the ISHS/ICRA system). We do not accept cultivar registrations in the following genera. However, we will eagerly add these plants to the encyclopedia as general entries minus cultivar registratin: Aroids (all), Begonia, Gesneriads (including Saintpaulia),Australian natives, Fuchsia, Clivia, Epiphyllum, Pelargonium, Passiflora, Hibiscus, and Plumeria. |

woody plant and hardy perennials projects are actually older and even
more mature than HIP and are available by visiting www.cultivar.org.
Hatch's Cultivars of Woody Plants is used by the majority of woody
plant experts worldwide and covers over 6500 PDF pages while Hatch's
Perennials is over 3000 page, all with loads of high-resolution,
digital images to 1250 pixels ride, detailed descriptions, source
links, histories, literature citations, and more.  |
| How do I cite this as reference? There
are several different formats for academic literature citation so
follow the system preferred by your organization or institution. This
is one approach. Hatch, Laurence C. (Editor). [year accessed]. Hatch's Interior Plants. [filename] [page number].

or copy without communication? No. Every image in our files is
copyrighted and pinning is a violation of that law without the owner's
permission. Just citing your pin source does not change the rights of
copyright holder and never has. Pinterest and Google have and will
continue to remove our images that are pirated or stolon by their users

removed over twenty times. In general, if a website does not have a
"Pin" icon to encourage you to copy and post, their copyright prevents
you from doing so in a legal manner. How can I legally use an image? About 99% of the images in HIP are copyright owned by the Editor or cultivar.org. The others we give credit to the contributor, many of which are nurseries, breeders, or growers wishing to distribute their images for promotional purposes. You can email those parties on your own or visit their website to see their process. If there is no stated external credit, email us (ornamentals@lycos.com) with the name of the taxon you desire.

 In conjunction with our OROC project which also registers woody plant and herbaceous perennials, we are pleased to list the following tropical, interior, and house plant cultivars recently catalogued by the experts. If you're are rare plant collector this is a very nice list to dream with. Your new cultivar when accepted and verified will appear both here and in our encyclopedia files above. OROC was created in 2014 by a group of concerned plant experts, taxonomists, growers, breeders, scholars, collectors, and design professionals that the current international cultivar registration system had failed. The Plant Patent and Plant Breeders Rights database work to some extent but exclude thousands of unique, rare, and less commercially available cultivars. Less than 2% of new woody plants, 5% of herbaceous perennials, and even fewer ornamental interior plants (except bromeliads, gesneriads and aroids) were being clarified, documented, and evaluated for their distinctiveness, nomenclature, origins, and identification. OROC has produced several Registers over the last few years, all 100% free of charge. More than 102,000 views and downloads of these Registers confirms the value and need for this kind of cultivar level documentation. The newest registrations are at the bottom in red.
