Phal bellina x Phal violacea indigo blue

[MateoinLosAngeles]

I haven't found a conclusive study or article explaining the differences between making (in this case) one species the seed parent vs. making it the pollen parent. I'm not even sure that can be traced back in the DNA.

So if there was a classification that made it mandatory to change grex depending on whether the parents are seed or pollen and we ended up having to make a distinction between Phal Samera and Phal Somero, given this is a primary hybrid that happens in nature where it's impossible (as far as I know) to know whether violacea or bellina were the seed parents, would we need a third name for those "found in nature?" So then if human pollinated the plant you call it Phal Samera or Phal Somero, but if insect pollinated in nature you call it Phal Semere? I just don't see the point or how this offers any value whatsoever based on available knowledge...

Unless I'm completely wrong and we're completely able to tell apart a hybrid based on whether a parent was seed or pollen... beyond speculation. Most hybridizers use the distinction "usually" as in "when this plant acts as the seed parent, we usually get more floriferous plants." I don't see how that could warrant a distinction. I don't know. I don't think botanical nomenclature is about making things more complicated than they need to be for no underlying reason or attempting to be so specific as to become so rigid as to not be able to keep up with advances in our knowledge.
