Chenopodium album L. x hircinum can be interpreted as:

  1. A named subspecies hybrid of Chenopodium album
  2. A hybrid formula: Chenopodium album L. x Chenopodium hircinum L.

If the latter, I would spell out the name in full. It's best to do this for all hybrid formulas.

@qgroom could you have a look at this?
I think (sorry to push this idea) that we need to be careful with changing the content of the manual. If we need to change it, we should feed back to Filip first.

It is interesting this should come up, because in the new International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi and plants there is a recommendation to write the name in full. I was seconder on the motion.
So I would go for option 2, Chenopodium album L. x Chenopodium hircinum L.
