No, I actually think it should be declined. I submitted it because one of the plants I got was listed as "Echinopsis subdenudata 'dominos'" but if that were the case, it should have been "Echinopsis ancistrophora 'dominos'," anyway.

Internet searches seem prone to so much error. But I guess it's the best/only guide there is. Another member and I have been breeding our own strains of zinnias for years. I wonder at what point those would be listed as varieties, if we sold them and listed them for sale?

I don't think I'll ever sell them (I'd rather give them away) or list them, but both of us have lineages which are clearly and obviously distinct from any mixes or cultivars available to the public. So that's where my mind goes when I think about how you determine what is or is not a variety of any given species.
Keep going!
