G.Bentham's Blandfordia grandiflora var. elongata may represent a hybrid between this species and B. grandiflora . Blandfordia ×flammea-elegans W.G.Sm., Floral Mag. n. ser. t. 134 (1874), was claimed by the author to apply to a hybrid between B. cunninghamii and B. flammea (= B. grandiflora ). No origin was given for the material concerned, and apparently no specimen of it has been preserved.
