Cross-bred plants are often given names formed by combining parts of each name. Examples:
Triticale -- a cross between wheat (Triticum) and Rye (Secale)
Lots of garden plants are hybrids, like Amaryllis x Brunsvigia

Well, you see it's like this. Cross breeding between plants can only occur between plants belonging to the same genera. The results of the cross breeding are called "hybrids", and are always infertile (same with animals). That is to say that they will not produce viable seed, however they can be reproduced by vegetative propagation (but animals can't be). Chances are if you have a look in a nursery catalogue you will see some plant names including the word "hybrid". Those are examples of cross bred plants. In Australia many Grevillea species are "hybrids". Damn this was a long answer, and if I was you I probably wouldn't waste my time reading all of this.

Fatshedra Fatsia x Hedera helix

Cross breeding results in hybrids that are often infertile and those that are fertile revert to parental traits, also known as not true to type. The parents of cross bred plants must be in the same family. Therefore cross genera and species hybrids are relatively ubiquitous, nearly all of the cultivated plants that are on the market are the result of hybridization and crossing at least as high as the species level.

People like to say it's a "graven image which is contrary to the law in Exodus 20." I would point you specifically to verse 4, but if you do not read the entire 1-6 you will be tempted, like them, to develop some ridiculous doctrine against the crucifix. That specific verse points to worshiping idols, meaning the object, as God. The crucifix, however, is not worshiped as a God, nor is it said that it is worshiped as a God, in Christianity. The crucifix is imagery meant to make us dwell on the message, that the cross, a horrid symbol, has been turned to a symbol of life in Jesus Christ. Once again, people will turn to the "graven image" thing. But, before they forget, the Jews had developed a bronze snake which, after looking at it they were cured of snake bites. They did not worship the snake but God commanded that by looking at it they would be saved. The Jews also had the ark of the covenant which was essentially a decorated box with a staff, mana, and some other things. This ark was brought into battle and was decorated, with images, of the angels. The point is, don't worship idols, if someone worships the cross as an idol they should be patiently taught the importance of the cross as a mere image of the truth. This doesn't mean it should be taken down because it has the potential to be worshiped. We are not slaves to the fear of sin, letting our fear of sinning dictate our worship.

If you drive around some parts of rural Illinois, you can see the corn fields marked off by the Seed Companies, with the Hybrid designator or Field name. All sorts of plants are cross bred.

Look no further than your local golf course. Turgrass is one of the most hybridized plants. It takes many years and trials to produce a desirable grass. Most often turf is bread for color, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and salt tolerance. Creeping bentgrass, as well as bermudagrass, are often bred to withstand the low mowing heights of greens.

The red oak group very commonly produces hybrids. The red oaks are Northern Red Oak, Southern Red Oak, Northern Pin Oak, Pin Oak, and Scarlet Oak. What happens is two acorns are buried in the same spot and it fuses underground to make one tree. Also the Linden trees or Basswoods are very commonly hybrid trees.

How about brocoflower, plumcots, nectarines. Research is being done all the time, trying to develop new plants that are resistant to diseases or have the traits that people are looing for.
