When is a chrysanthemum dermatitis not a chrysanthemum dermatitis? The case for describing florists' chrysanthemums as Dendranthema cultivars.
In order to provide a new reference point in the dermatological literature from which the naming of florists' chrysanthemums may be regularised and standardised, the case is presented for the use of the generic name Dendranthema together with a cultivar name in place of a specific epithet. A review of cultivar specificity in chrysanthemum dermatitis is also presented.
