- Clematis alpina 'Ruby' : a cultivar within a species; the cultivar epithet is in single quotes.
- Magnolia 'Elizabeth' : a cultivar within a hybrid between two or more species.
- Rhododendron boothii Mishmiense Group : a Group name; both the name of the Group and the word "Group" are capitalized and not enclosed in quotes.
- Paphiopedilum Sorel grex : a grex name; the name of the grex is capitalized but the word "grex" (if present) is not and quotes are not used.
- Apple 'Jonathan' : permitted use of an unambiguous common name with a cultivar epithet.
- +Crataegomespilus : a graft-chimaera of Crataegus and Mespilus
Note that the ICNCP does not regulate trademarks for plants: trademarks are regulated by the law of the land involved. Nor does the ICNCP regulate the naming of plant varieties in the legal sense of that term.

We have nothing to give them here. They have loved reading.””
