Hybrids? That sounds exciting, indeed (I must have overlooked them;
TNX for your attention). Would you think there are forms that warrant
recognition as cultivars? Martyniaceae (the whole thing, with all
synonyms known to yours truly) will be listed in the next update to
the cp database. BTW: _Ibicella lutea_ is already included.
None of them is carnivorous in the strict sense but they are rather
closely related to Lentibulariaceae (and perhaps a bit less closely
to Byblidaceae), and the ICPS is/will be accepting cultivar
descriptions of Martyniaceae for registration of the names. There has
not been an IRA for them before 1998, nor am I aware of any
established cultivar name of Martyniaceae, although I am convinced
the plants do have a horticultural potential.
Kind regards
Jan
