Phrag Leslie Garay

[Tintin]

Does anyone know why phrag Grande is changed to Phrag Leslie Garay?

 

[Phrag-Plus]

That is a good question!

By looking at old data registrations descriptions and herbarium, It was found that the first registered Grande was in fact a hybrid made with humboldtii and not of caudatum...

But the old Grande grex tags should not be renamed Leslie Garay automatically, that would be a mistake...
That because the parentage identification remains uncertain…

Is it safe to say Leslie Garay is a true primary hybrid?

 

[Phrag-Plus]

Yes! It is caudatum x longifolium

 

[Tintin]

Yes! It is caudatum x longifolium
