16.1
Hybrid origin of a clade may be indicated by placing the multiplication sign (×) in front of the name. The names of clades of hybrid origin otherwise follow the same rules as for other clades.
16.2
An organism that is a hybrid between named clades may be indicated by placing the multiplication sign between the names of the clades; the whole expression is then called a hybrid formula.
Recommendation 16.2A
In cases in which it is not clear whether a set of hybrid organisms represents a clade (as opposed to independently produced hybrid individuals that do not form a clade), authors should consider whether a name is really needed, bearing in mind that formulae, though more cumbersome, are more informative.
