Natural Hybrids
Natural hybrids involving N. edwardsiana appear to be relatively rare and only three have been recorded to date. N. burbidgeae × N. edwardsiana and N. edwardsiana × N. rajah have received little attention in the scientific literature, but N. edwardsiana × N. villosa has been known since the 19th century and was initially described as a separate species, N. harryana.

Famous quotes containing the word natural:
“The open frontier, the hardships of homesteading from scratch, the wealth of natural resources, the whole vast challenge of a continent waiting to be exploited, combined to produce a prevailing materialism and an American drive bent as much, if not more, on money, property, and power than was true of the Old World from which we had fled.”
—Barbara Tuchman (1912–1989)
