Just a note... even if you have seen a pic of the cross you could find another of the same cross which has completely different colouring.

Many species have 'variants' in the wild which can range in colour, when the cross is made the colour of the hybrid can depend on which variants of the parent species were used.

On top of that, because of the way genetics works each seed in a batch of seed can be different in looks, a recessive trait (such as colour) may show in some of the seedlings and not others... only when you have clones will it be identical to the parent.

Think of it this way... all humans are one species, but look at the variation there are in that species and the fact that even twins are not identical unless they are split from the same egg.

Having said that your plant does look a lot like anceps and so it may be a variant of anceps or it may be a hybrid with a lot of anceps in it's parantage
