1 2018 National Collegiate Landscape Competition Interior Plant ID List Alamance Community College Graham, NC Reminders for students about scientific names: 1) Genus names are always capitalized. 2) The specific epithet (species name) always starts with a lower-case letter. 3) Cultivar names are always capitalized and enclosed within single quotes. 4) Common names begin with lower-case letters; however, proper nouns are capitalized; i.e. Norfolk Island pine; Christmas palm; African milk tree; English ivy, Buddhist pine 5) The cultivar name is considered a proper name because it is a specific selection of the species or hybrid; it often becomes part of the common name and continues to be capitalized; i.e. Sparkling Sarah aglaonema; Tropic Snow dumbcane; Colorama dracaena 6) Technically, there is no space between the hybrid sign x and the specific epithet; a space has been used in this list for the sake of clarity: i.e. Alocasia xamazonica = Alocasia x amazonica 7) Because numerous species are used and sometimes the exact species is not always known, spp. is written following the genus name in lower case letters (as shown on the list). 8) In the case of many hybrids and/or cultivars, the words Hybrids or Hybrid Cultivars, etc. (as shown) is listed following the genus name. 9) Information in parentheses, synonym scientific names, plant patent numbers, and plant groupings, do not need to be memorized. 10) Although genus and species names are generally italicized while cultivar names are not, you will not be required to italicize scientific names. All names must be written in legible print; no cursive and no allcaps. 11) This list will be the sole authority for spelling and nomenclature for this event; spelling is how you see it on the list, unless there is a typographical error; in such cases, both the listed spelling and the correct spelling will be accepted. Many plants have become extremely popular for use in the interior plant industry because of: 1) Ease of growth 2) Capable of maintaining and/or thriving in low light conditions 3) Resistance to pests 4) Efficiency at removing chemical vapors/toxins 5) Transpiration rates 6) General aesthetics ID List plants are divided into these general categories for better understanding and ease in studying: Although many of the plants used in the interior landscape industry are standard and unchanging, some plants have multiple varieties with new cultivars replacing previous ones. Interior landscape plants can be divided into general categories, determined by size, appearance, function, and placement. Many plants will fit into several categories, depending upon variety, age, maturity, and pruning; general interior plant categories include these listed below. 1) Palms & Palm-like Plants 2) Trees 3) Showy Foliage, Unique, & Specimen Plants 4) Cane Plants 5) Vine Plants 6) Ferns & Grassy Plants 7) Bromeliads 8) Rotational Flowering Plants, Color Plants, & Orchids 9) Succulents & Desert Plants
