Pete Bog Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Hi Googling around looking for images of CP's I come across descriptions along with a number and sometimes a letter. eg SM02 S. minor var. okefenokeensis the SM for Sarracenia Minor, but where is the number derived from? and SL10 S. leucophylla -- white top,fine red veins ( L34-MK ) SL for Sarracenia Leucophylla but what does L34-MK refer to? Is there a faq here or link to somewhere that explains what they mean? thanks Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Green Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 They are all just personal referance codes. Anythin in brackets just refers to someone else's code. So ( L34-MK ) means L34 from Mike King. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Salter Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) Hi Bob. They are simply reference codes for individuals to manage their collections for example... SL10 S. leucophylla -- white top,fine red veins ( L34-MK ) SL10 is the persons coding for his own collection but he obtained the plant from Mike king in this particular case who has coded the plant previously as L34 who may have incidentally obtained this plant from another grower using a different reference. So things can get confusing especially when you have two plants in your collection both obtained as say A23 and are two different clones of S. alata. When listing plants I prefer (and would like to see others) list plants for example such as MK-A23 or ST-A23 where the persons initials precede their code, Of course we all keep records of where we obtained the plants along with characteristics of the plant. Regarding my own listing I tend to just quote the persons code I had the plant off and the name of the person, Only with my own seed grown plants do I set my own personal code but then again I have no where near as many varieties and forms as some so cannot criticise. I'm sure more informed input will follow. Hope this helps. Ian. Edited July 10, 2009 by Ian Salter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Bog Posted July 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Thanks guys It's all much clearer and a bit obvious when you know. all the best Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Jearrard Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Hi Bob, I have been trying to list the better known clones in the deconfusifier, which is available online: Deconfusifier This is the link to the page explaining the list - scroll to the bottom of the page to find the link to the list itself. Hope it is of some use to you - I am currently updating the list, so some of the links to pictures are probably broken (but will be fixed before long).
