I added Lycoris x houdyshelii to PF along with a picture. I assumed that the "species" in this case would be entered as "x houdyshelii" - hope that's correct. There was not a specific field in the details to indicate a cross of two species, so I entered it in the "additional cultivar information" (L. straminea x L. radiata var. pumila). How does one usually do this?
How to add details for a hybrid?

Yes we allow valid hybrid epithets in the species/specific epithet field.
We don't have a field for parentage so we encourage you to put this information in the comments boxes.
So should I edit the entry and remove the "additional cultivar name" and add a comment?

I've removed the parentage in the additional cultivar info field for you but please feel free to add it as a comment :)
