Subject: Cultivar Naming Question

Suppose person A breeds an unusual new Venus' Fly Trap, decides it's
worth registering as a cultivar and goes through the process, ending
up with a cultivar name eg 'Norwegian Blue'. Person A specifies
vegetative propagation only.

Suppose some time later person B ends up breeding a plant that looks
identical to VFT 'Norwegian Blue'. It can't be called 'Norwegian
Blue' because it wasn't vegetatively propagated from the original
'Norwegian Blue', but it can't be called anything else because it's
too similar to the original 'Norwegian Blue'. Is that correct or have
I misunderstood the rules?

Regards, NigelH
