NATURAL HYBRIDS by Butcher at March 2016

NATURAL HYBRIDS by Butcher at March 2016

These are hybrids named under the ICN rules and apply to plants found in the wild. They do not appear in the Bromeliad Cultivar Registry which follows the ICNCP rules. However, they may have been given a Cultivar name and this is noted. There is also a possibility that a manmade hybrid has been done using the same parents but we should try to keep these separate! They are recorded in the New Bromeliad Taxon list http://botu07.bio.uu.nl/bcg/taxonList.php . Should you find a natural hybrid in any literature given a latinised name or grex formula and not in this list please advise full details including a photograph if possible. Remember that grex formulae are acceptable under this system.

Note that putative parents are shown in alpha order for ease of reference and because actual seed parent would be unknown in the wild.
