This grex was originally registered in 1997. It was remade more recently using Orchid (Cymbidium erythrostylum 'Tikitere') X Orchid (Cymbidium Balkis 'Captain Anderson'), the seedlings of which started to flower in 2019.

Care must be taken not to confuse this grex with the similar Orchid (Rhyncholaeliocattleya Haw Yuan Gold)

This is currently an unregistered grex (and probably a trade name). It is produced by Shu-Long Flowers Industry Co. and has been made commercially available at a number of nurseries.

Not to be confused with the newer OT hybrid offered under the same name: Lily (Lilium 'Tangelo [OT]')

This is an unregistered hybrid. If it is ever registered, it will need to be under a different name to avoid a clash with the 1950 Asiatic registration: Lily (Lilium 'Tangelo')

According to the RHS Register, there is some debate over the parentage of the Harlequin Group. It cites J. de Graff from LYB 30:27 (1967) as stating that the original 'Harlequin' was a clone selected from the Mid-Century Group and that the later Harlequin Hybrids/Group was completely unrelated and derived from Lilium cernuum X Lilium davidii.

This is not to be confused with Lisa Hunt's oriental hybrid, also sold under the name 'Bolero': Lily (Lilium 'Bolero [Lisa Hunt]')

This is an unregistered hybrid from Lisa Hunt. If it is ever registered, it will need to be under a different name to avoid a clash with the existing 1950 Asiatic registration: Lily (Lilium 'Bolero')

This is an unregistered grex, but available from a number of commercial outlets. It is unclear whether this is a tradename or if Shu-Long will eventually register it.

This is an unregistered grex. It may be a trade name or it may be registered in future. It is unclear whether there are multiple clones in circulation, or whether the named 'V513' is the only one.

This is an unregistered grex, but available from a number of commercial outlets. It is unclear whether this is a tradename or if Fuller's Orchids will eventually register it.

This is a warmth-tolerant early season near-white with an upright spike. It will probably be a key stepping stone to future Autumn-flowering upright white Cymbidium hybrids.

At present this grex appears to be unregistered, but clearly has been produced by Fuller's Orchids and is known to have been marketed by Shu-Long Flowers Industry Co. Ltd. of Taiwan.

This is a hybrid of Orchid (Cattleya walkeriana) X Orchid (Brassanthe Maikai)

This is an intergeneric hybrid of Orchid (Encyclia phoenicea) X Orchid (Brassocattleya Richard Mueller).

This grex has been made at least twice. The earliest is thought to be the 3N strain produced by SBOE: Orchid (Cymbidium Solana Beach 'St. Francis') 4N X Orchid (Cymbidium Red Beauty 'Carmen') 2N. A later remake by NHO was 4N.

This was made as a diploid (2n), but a tetraploid conversion (4n) exists. The only naming difference is that they should be labelled as Red Beauty 'Carmen' 4N.

'Carmen' is known to not to be an alba carrier, despite it being originally hoped otherwise.

This is the 4N form of Orchid (Cymbidium Red Beauty 'Netty').
