C. Portiata is 75% C. labiata and 25% C. bowringiana. I don't know
when 'Mel' won the HCC but its an old cross so it may have been in
prehistoric times.

The answer to the question is "No". Mildred Rives is something else and
the cross of Valewood x Log cabin doesn't seem to be registered.

This is not a named cross according to Wildcatt. RHS may have
something more recent.
