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.
