Example: Picea pungens var.
glauca 'Fat Albert'
- a species name = the genus name plus the specific epithet
- genus, specific epithet, and variety (may or may not be present) name are italicized
- Genus is capitalized; species and variety are not
- Cultivar name should not be italicized, but instead placed in single quotes and capitalized
- italicization and underlining are equivalent, but use one or the other consistently
This is an oversimplification of the many rules, but it should get you through the initial assignments. If you have more questions please ask.
