I notice that Arthur is describing hybrids in a form I recognise, i.e., N.
thorelii Lecomte, N. pervillei Blume, N. macrophylla Marabini, etc.
Species in loweer case followed by hybrid name capitalized. I have NEVER
understood why CPers use something like "Nepenthes x jackson" as a
description. Can someone explain why?

Cheers
