Ali, x Coccinea is a selected form of N. mirabilis x x hookeriana so not every single plant of the cross is N. mirablils x x hookeriana can be called a x Coccinea.
this is unlike the case where every N. raff x amp (or the reverse) are all N. x hookerianas (or mirablis x amp = x kuchingensis). It's slightly messy because in the 1800s, 1900s when new neps were being discovered and named, hybrids were also being made in greenhouses in europe then. so the naming the plants was not applied very consistently.
but to go back the shawn's plants, i think its more likely to be a hybrid of mirabilis and raff and a remote possibility of it being a mirabilis x x hookeriana because the 'teeth' and neck on the uppers shows a fair bit of raff traits.
