 Too many  meals eaten over the keyboard have resulted in a sticky "i" key: sorry for the two examples in my prior post seen below. I sometimes write the name as Lycoris  × squamigera, never (I hope) as squamgera.TOn Sunday, August 16, 2020, 06:31:43 PM EDT, Jim McKenney via pbs <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> wrote:

Many plants whose names were validly published in the past at rank species have turned out to be hybrids. When this happens we sometimes write the names with the × to indicate that the entities in question are of a nothospecific (hybrid) nature.Our local gardens are full of a good example right now: the plant named by Maximowicz as Lycoris squamigera, a validly published name.Those of us who accept the hybrid origin of this plant sometimes write the name as Lycoris × squamgera. The first few times I did this I expected someone to criticize me for generating unnecessary nomina nuda. The combination Lycoris × squamgera. is apparently not validly published.Or is there some arcane rule in the code which allows the use of the  ×  form of the name without formal publication?
