Hello Kurt,

The letter in the parenthesis is not part of the name. It is
there to designate seperate clones of each hybrid that a hortculturist
has successfully grown from seed. If you were to trade for (A), (B),
and (C) of H.minor * H.ionasi, you would be getting three genetically
seperate plants of the same hybrid. There should be some differences
to their growth patterns.
