        D.anglica x rotundifolia = D.*obovata D.dielsiana x sp.transvaal
        (fertile!) D.spatulata x something = D.*wateri D.filiformis
        ssp.filiformis x filiformis ssp.tracyi = D.*'California Sunset'
        (fertile!) D.nitidula ssp.omissa * D.occidentalis
        ssp.occidentalis (used to be D.'Lake Badgerup') plus any number
        of other pygmy hybrids - sorry, can't lay my hands on Lowrie's
        CPoA ATM.

        Oh well, that's a few more from memory. There are loads more I
        can't fully remember, but if I do, I'll make a note of them.
        Before Jan starts hopping up and down :) I'll point out that
        some of these names have not been properly published. If you
        add to the list, I'm sure we'd all love to see a final/more
        complete one. If you'd like a bit of web space to post a page
        of hybrids, let me know.

        Happy growing,

                Peter
