I just added the hybrid genus × Comagaria for the cultivated ‘Pink Panda’ strawberries. See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragaria_×_Comarum_hybrids for details. When I add the species as × Comagaria rosea, it is converted to × comagaria rosea. I had to resort to leaving off the × to avoid this. Is this a bug I should report, or is there a known solution?
This was supposed fixed when I added the feature request, because the original problem was curators couldn’t capitalize in the first place. Later I heard there was a bug going around but I believe genus hybrids that were fixed before the bug came about still as such.
This remains an issue. × phyllosasa tranquillans should render as × Phyllosasa tranquillans (or as ×Phyllosasa tranquillans if the space is omitted)
Still not fixed :(
Maybe somewhat relatedly, there are a handful of taxa ranked as infrahybrid that include a genus name after the ×, with this probably having the most observations (other examples including these - 1 2 3), but it seems the fix allowing hybrids to have a capitalized 2nd genus name may have only applied to taxa ranked as hybrid (and genushybrid, unless that was already allowed?), not infrahybrid, since in all examples of the latter I could find the 2nd genus is still lowercase
Just came across this here: https://www.inaturalist.org/flags/566934
@tiwane Is there really no way to fix this?
