Also: Orchid hybrids and ( to some extent) cultivars have been registered
since the 1800s with a central registry service in England. The first
person to grow _and flower_ a new hybrid can register the cross with
this central registry. For example, Paphiopedilum rothschildianum x
Paph. philippinense is called Paph. St. Swithin. Hybrid names are
distinguished from species names in three ways: First, they are
capitalized; second, they are not italicized; and third, they are not
Latin names (although rule #3 did not exist at first, and there are some
early hybrids that are Latin sounding, like Paph. Houghtoniae).
Hybrid names stick to any plant made from parents that are of the same
species (or hybrids) of the parents of the original registered plant.
This is true regardless of which plant is the pod parent and which is
the pollen parent, though some orchid growers feel that the pod parent
tends to be the more important influence on characteristics of the
offspring. In other words, all plants that are Paph. rothschildianum x
Paph. lowii _or_ Paph. lowii x Paph. rothschildianum are Paph.
Julius, regardless of the quality or characteristics of the parents.
