Hybrid Names and Formulas

Below are the names or formulas of 109 naturally occurring hybrid taxa. All are de novo hybrids except for the cultivar aggregate Viola ×wittrockiana), with somewhat uncertain (although legendary) taxonomic origins. The accepted binomial, or the accepted formula where a validly published binomial is not available, is followed by "(ACC)". A synonym is followed by "(SYN)", with "-->" and the accepted name to which it belongs. Binomials are provided with their known parentage in brackets. Hybrid taxa with binomials are listed separately under both their binomial and their hybrid formula. It is possible that some older "uncertain" names (especially those by E. L. Greene) will prove upon further study to represent hybrids, and those names may replace some below.
