Confused about Species versus Hybrids? Male
Default

I will also add two more points:

There are naturally-occurring hybrids found in the wild, as well, where the populations of two compatible species overlap. They are correctly designated by adding a "X" to the name, e.g., Paphiopedilum X wellesleyanum (Paph. concolor x godefroyae). If that cross is man-made, then the "X: is dropped and the grex name should be capitalized - Paphiopedilum Wellesleyanum.

Maybe I missed it elsewhere, but a species crossed with another of the same species, is still that species, not a hybrid.
