In an interresting discussion on the status of a cultivar, that somewhat deviated from the commonly seen forms of the same cross (Lc. Mini Purple 'Tamami'), 'Eds' brought some clarification to the question by refering to the rules laid down in the International Code of Nomemclature for Cultivated Plants (ICNCP). (for this discussion in its entirety, see: Lc. Mini Purple)
As the ICNCP seems to be a tool, a ressource of equal interest for professional and hobby growers (like most of us), I hurry to share the following information:
On the homepage of the International Society for Horticultural Science they offer for free a download (PDF-format) of the ICNCP (Scripta Horticulturae #18) - you can also find an orderform for buying it as a hardcover book and support their work:
