A little bit more about Plant Divisions
1) In Ideas Genie OR Ideas Genie Pro, use the program:
Files>Genera with Divisions-GA019
Add the Genus Lilium to the list (you have to have at least on Lilium in your database before you can do that, of course)
Then double click on the Genus (Lilium) in the list
Screen GA019S02 appears.
This is where you set up your Divisions (and Sub divisions) of the Genus selected.
RE:
This is what I put in
Division description:--Trumpet L. Aurelian hybrids includes L. regale and L. aurelianse
Abbreviated description:--Trumpet lilies/Aurelian
classification group :--Divis VI
notes about this classification group:none
That all looks correct, but in the example youve given, I would change the classification group:
Change from: Divis VI
Change to: VI
Why a description (lets refer to this as FULL description) and an abbreviated description?In reports, the FULL description can be printed.
However, in most programs, space is rather restricted, so the name you enter in the Abbreviated description will be displayed.
In many cases, you can get the full description into the abbreviated description field.
If you can get it all in, then do so.
As you will discover, In some cases, the FULL description for some Divisions can be very long.
I had to do something ion the program to cope with that - hence the abbreviated name
As for:
notes about this classification group
Put in any supporting information you can find when surfing, or from your reference books.
Having set up the Divisions for Lilium we move on to program GA004
Start GA004
When you select a Genus which has Divisions, a shiny new button becomes visible (repeat - this button appears ONLY when you select a Genus with Divisions):
wwDivisions
Click on the wwDivisions button.
Screen GA004S03 appears
There are 2 lists.
On the left, the list will include plants which are IN Divisions.
On the right, plants in the genus which are NOT yet assigned to Divisions.
Click the Divisions button.
All the Divisions you created in GA019 appear.
The task now is to place the plants (Lilium) into their respective divisions.
Two arrow buttons sit between the lists.
Arrow pointing left MOVES plants on the right into the list on the left (into a selected Division-you select the correct Division before moving plants, of course)
Arrow pointing right REMOVES selected plants FROM their Divisions on the left, and moves them to the list on the right (OUT of a Division)
Does that help Isabell?
Next lesson will be to describe how the Divisions are very useful when you get to Global editing (e.g. in GA004)
Point of interest, not related to IG Pro. Much MORE complex - plant names.
First, there are very few intergeneric hybrids, and to the best of my knowledge, Lilium is NOT one of them.
Thus, uncheck the Intergeneric Hybrid check box.
xLililum
will become
Lilium
As for Stargazer, heres the recognised name on the RHS web site:
http://www.rhs.org.uk/Databases/HortDatabase.asp?ID=71190 Now, Ive had to correct my entry for Star Gazer in the Master Database.
To be fussy and correct, its Star Gazer, NOT Stargazer
Also, according to the RHS, you can drop the orientale out of the plant name.
The correct plant name on your label should read as in the RHS link above.
RE:
In the end the name which would print on the label looked like that ×Lilium × oriental 'Stargazer'
That kind of name structure is how its done in the UK and most parts of the world except the US, Isabell.
In the US, you will find plants listed differently.
The trend there seems to be to quote the cultivar first, then the Genus.
Thus in the Europe, its:
Lilium 'Star Gazer'
in the US, you WILL find the same name, but in many cases you'll find it listed as:
'Star Gazer' Lilium
Particularly in Nursery listings!!
The former is the recognised Botanical plant name.
