krancmm said:Both are correct. The first is giving the actual parentage of the hybrid. The second with just the Genus and cultivar (indicating a hybrid) is also correct.

It's for a Plant Admin person to decide which s(he) would prefer. I believe Evan would prefer Passiflora 'Incense', and would put the parentage in the comment section.


I didn't express a preference Monica, I was raising the issue for discussion as I don't remember it coming up before in quite that way. I'm wondering if these species hybrids could have more than 1 accepted name shown.

Here's a different example with 3 possible accepted names (I think):
1.) Crocosmia 'Carmin Brillant' (possibly a synonym?)
2.) Crocosmia × crocosmiiflora 'Carmin Brillant'
3.) Crocosmia aurea × pottsii 'Carmin Brillant' or Crocosmia aurea × C. pottsii 'Carmin Brillant'

Personally, I like the idea of ALSO using the hybrid formula name (3) whether or not a hybrid name (2) has been accepted. It's helpful naming information. But as I often get way too deep in the weeds I'm happy with what gets decided. Green Grin!

What does everyone else think?
