I didn't see Hemerocallis x hybrid in the taxonomy list. I chose Hemerocallis fulva var. kwanso for my obs: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/50080891
Hemerocallis fulva var. kwanso is correct for yours, @lappelbaum, but it 's a common error here that complex Hemerocallis hybrid cultivars are often misID'd as H. fulva.
My obs was just a side note (and a hope that you would 2nd my ID). I was trying to point out was that I couldn't find "Hemerocallis x hybrids" in the taxonomy list (for other people to use).
Good point... it was available at the time I wrote my comment but I can't find it now either.
Why binominal Hemerocallis x hybrids is deleted?
“Hemerocallis x hybrids” isn’t correct nomenclaturally ( as compared to something like Hemerocalllis x hybrida) but I don’t know if that’s why it was removed. I don’t see any other term to refer generally to Hemerocallis hybrid cultivars (which number in the tens of thousands).
Agreed. "Hemerocallis fulva" is often selected erroneously for photos of complex Hemerocallis hybrid cultivars in cultivation. "Hemerocallis x hybrids" is available in the iNat pick list and would be a better (correct) choice.
