 The type of Vriesia morreniana was produced by an artificial cross between 

 V. carinata and V. psittacina. However, it is probable that the second parent 

 is sometimes another species, because V. carinata is so dominant that the elonga- 

 tion of the rhachis is about the only observable effect of the other species. Also 

 V. morreniana occurs in regions where V. psittacina is not recorded.
