I wonder if the code governing the nomenclature of *cultivated*
plants demands that old Latin-form cultivar names be in
grammatical agreement with the botanical name?

Does indeed.

It may be that altering "Superbum" to "Superba" is a
falsification.

Well, it might confuse it somewhat. And find itself with diminished
attraction in the Mardi Gras Parade.....

What makes you think that the name 'Superbum' might have been chosen
without writing it down first?

Good one, isn't it? ;-) I'm assuming the original namer pronounced it
'superb um' and as you say, didn't write it down!

Puts me in mind of when we went to Pomfadoc en famille in 1956. In those
days it was spelt Pomfadog, so you can guess, it was renamed in out
vocabulary from Pom-FAdog to Pomfa-dog, which name later slid off the
Welsh mountains on to our bull terrier....
