A cultivar name cannot be registered for a single plant. The original single plant from which a clone ultimately derives must have been successfully propagated, and the characteristics of the individual members of the clone must have been compared with the original plant and found to be identical.

Although the ICRA will ensure eventual establishment for a registered cultivar name, the precedence is not fixed until publication. Registrants may thus wish to publish a new cultivar name themselves, following registration, to ensure that precedence of their cultivar name is not affected.

New Registered Cultivar Names are published twice a year 
in the American Brugmansia and Datura Society's publication "The Trumpeter"
