> >Ranunculaceae Helleborus × ericsmithii B.Mathew There have been two recent messages about a hybrid sign that most of us represent by the letter x. Presumably this looks similar to an x. The symbol that the two Europeans have used shows as a diamond for me. I copied it to a text editor and changed it to a few dozen fonts, all of which showed a diamond. What font is it that you are using to show an almost-x ? Diane Whitehead, Canada
