Actually, if a plant has been introduced, and the originator has not shown
an interest in describing the plant as a cultivar, anyone else may
describe the plant as a cultivar.
Obviously, to maintain friendly relations, I would suggest you contact the
originator and ask for the originator's permission---and perhaps even give
the person coauthor role on the paper, even if they don't do anything but
proof the paper once prior to publication.
