AFS 2327

Harlow Car is the the right spelling, by the way, and is what the now famous RHS Garden site was originally called. And what it was called when Eric Johns bred and named this fuchsia. The name of the garden has since been changed to Harlow Carr, but that doesn't alter the registered name of the plant.

The compiler of the RHS Plant Finder confirmed this:

"‘Harlow Car’ looks strange but this was discussed by the RHS’ Advisory Panel on Nomenclature and Taxonomy (APONAT) on 30 May 1995 where: “It was agreed that the spelling of an epithet commemorating a person or place should remain as published, irrespective of that person or place later adopting a different spelling of their name. The case of Harlow Car/Harlow Carr had been indicated” . Harlow Car was, apparently, a previous spelling."
