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?


I don't have strong feelings one way or the other, but we might want to consider where (3) potentially leads before we start down that road. Do we want to see "(((Lacy Lu x Cretica) x I. aphylla) x (Stepping Out x Jungle Shadows)) X Charmed Circle" listed as a botanical name simply because Alan Ensminger crossed one of his bearded iris seedlings with Iris aphylla? Seems like that sort of information is better dealt with under a parentage category.
