Hybrids

As for the time being a definite rule for the creation of a valid taxonomic name on the basis of the parent names is not available. Therefore the name is build from the genus and all the rest placed in the field for the epithet. Some examples for hybrids are: 

• Asplenium x alternifolium Wulfen.
• Coeloglossum x Dactylorhiza Coeloglossum viride x Dactylorhiza majalis subsp. praetermissa
• Ononis repens subsp. procurrens x spinosa subsp. spinosa
• Salix (caprea x viminalis) x (purpurea x viminalis)
• Salix alba var. vitellina x babylonica x matsudana
• Symphoricarpos albus var. laevigatus x microphyllus x orbiculatus

As soon as a rule is available the name can be generated from the parent names that are entered as described below.

If a taxon is a hybrid, check the checkbox to open the part for the entry for the parents of the hybrid. You can determine up to 4 parents for a hybrid as shown in the figure below
