So what happens if a natural hybrid is crossed with one of it's parents in cultivation rather than in the wild, does it then become a new hybrid or does it stay the same

Then you are dealing with a new hybrid. Gur. x guatemalensis x Gur. skinneri = Gur. Tristan Fitch

x Gur aurantiaca = Herbert Oesterreich

Thanks again CJ.

I will definately read up some more on this (easier to find stuff now I know the word introgression).
