Why not call the man-made cross P. Richteri (note the capital R)?

There are some complicated rules nowadays about naming the cultivated equivalent of a natural hybrid. A lot depends on the dates. If the man-made hybrid was registered before the natural hybrid was published, they can't both have the same name. You would have to ask Julian Shaw for the details.
