I realize that we are trying to be correct in our terminology, but when using the name of a natural hybrid, can we please leave a space between the “x” and the name?

According to ICBN, “The multiplication sign in the name of a nothotaxon should be placed against the initial letter of the name or epithet. However, if the mathematical symbol is not available and the letter "x" is used instead, a single letter space may be left between it and the epithet if this helps to avoid ambiguity. The letter "x" should be in lower case.”
