Default Larix xmarschlinsii

And Tropicos may list only 'wild taxa'?
Probably.

Although IPNI is the best we have got, there are quite a few names not
listed by IPNI.
I thought IPNI is supposed to include everything in IK.

Of course if this 1980 publication were to happen today a proposal to
conserve Larix xeurolepis would be the thing to do
Why?

Since the two species do not naturally meet it is not a natural hybrid!
That explains it. So what do you call the name Larix xmarschlinsii?
