 We can search the information of orchid's hybrids that were registered from RHS official website. But some who don't read English well or who don't like using PC will not be able to have profits form them. I have received requirement how they search the hybrids information from RHS website so often. I'll introduce it for the requirement. Please try and get the newest information from them.

How to search the information

(1) Open the RHS Research site at the first. You can copy and paste their URL bellow. OR click the URL and you can visit them at once.

Their website will be open like this.

(2) You choose 1 or 2 dependent on your purpose for search.

1 Parentage Search : Chose 1 when you want to know the Grex name from their parentation.

2 Grex Name Search : Choose 2 when you want to know the information like parentation about the Grex name appointed.

(3) Example-1 Look for Grex name by appointed their parents.

  Choose 1 Parentage Search and click and the picture as follows come on.

 You have to put the name of Genus and Grex of seed patent in left side and of Pollen parent in Right side in alphabet. For species, italic is not required. For example, let search the Grex name of ( Paph. bellatulum x Paph. niveum ). In the both Genus boxes, you put Paphiopedilum or Paph. And in the Grex box, you put bellatulum and niveum as follows. In truth, you don't care which Grex must be seed parent or pollen patent.  

After completed, click on the left upper side of the flame or put return. When they have the information about the paretation, the Grex name will come out as follows.

Now we have 2 hits. One is Paph. Psyche that we expected and another is Paph. Snowflake ( Conco-bellatulum x niveum). In case of Snowflake whose one of parents has the line of bellatulum in Conco-bellatulum, the Grex name was selected too. Don't worry. We choose the Grex name that we want to know and click the name, Psyche and you will be get the information as follows. Of course, when you click Snowflake, you can get the information about it.

From this picture, we know that Paph. Psyche was breeded by Mr. Winn and registered in the 1st, Nov. 1893 by himself. When the hybrid was not registered yet or you made mistakes in putting your information, the picture will come on as follows.
