How are the children of different species parents classified?

I found a Capsicum crossability matrix at the bottom of this page:

If a baccatum mates (Is there a better term for this?) with an annuum, is there a specific name for the peppers that the seeds produce, or are they simply described as "hybrids?"

I guess you would call them crosses or hybrids. JD refers to them as mutts.
Nice post!!

If a baccatum mates (Is there a better term for this?)...

Yeah--f***s.

But seriously, I think "pollinates" or "crosses" would probably be a more "appropriate" term for plant reproduction...

 

[AlabamaJack]

they are named from the common name of the parents...

if it is a Male Lion and a Female Tiger, the child is called a Liger and has more hybrid vigor

if it is a Male Tiger and a Female Lion, the child is called a Tigon and exhibits more of the undesirable traits...

so...if you take the pollen donars name and the ovarys name....Male Jalapeno/Female Serrano = Jalarano

Male Serrano/Female Jalapeno = Serpeno

 

[POTAWIE]

Intra-species cross or if its a first generation f1 you could call it an intra-species hybrid

 

[menotume]

they are named from the common name of the parents...

OK, this could be fun

Male Jamaican Hot/Female Chocolate Hab = Hot Chocolate
Male Bermuda Hot/Female Tabasco Short = Bermuda Shorts
Christmas Bell / Thai Hot Ornamental = Christmas Ornament

I'm sure y'all can come up with better ones.

What makes this more fun for me is that in my small garden, where I don't invest any energy to isolate plants, I have no idea what happens. I always grow some seed where I know exactly what it is, but it is more fun to grow plants from collected, which may or may not have resulted from a cross!
