plant was entered and awarded from Trichopilia marginata to Trichopilia x
crispa , a natural hybrid which he described to the judges as the natural
hybrid between Trpl marginata x suavis. So it is clear that he was not
referring to Trpl marginata.  The hybrid formula indicated by
Pupulin to the judges matches what is listed by the WCSPF as Trichopilia × ramonensis GarcÃa-Castro &
Mora-Ret. ex C.O.Morales, Lankesteriana 5: 18 (2002), a natural hybrid

jungle collected but that, he tends to believe it was not jungle
collected.\
