Hi everybody,

I know that the hybrid between D. intermedia and D. rotundifolia exists and
that somebody grows it.
I read also somebody found (/collected ?) it somewhere in the wild.
On the other hand, somebody in France wrote he wasn't able to find it
despite his researches where the two species grow together.
This summer I could visit two large bogs in northern Italy where D.
intermedia and D. rotundifolia grow side by side; I spent many hours looking
for hybrid specimens, but I couldn't find any.
Did anybody ever see D. * beleziana (intermedia*rotundifolia) in the wild?
Kindest regards
