× Aliceara, abbreviated Alcra. in the horticultural trade, is the nothogenus for intergeneric hybrids between three orchid genera (Brassia × Miltonia × Oncidium).[1][2] The name Cambria is used in the horticultural trade. Some other nothogenus names which were created for hybrids involving the then-recognized genera Cochlioda and Odontoglossum, regarded as synonyms of Oncidium as of May 2026[update],[3] are now equivalent to × Aliceara. These include × Bakerara, × Beallara and × Degarmoara.
Description
Taxonomy
The name "× Cambria" is used commercially for hybrids among genera of subtribe Oncidiinae, initially including the genera Cochlioda and Odontoglossum. These two genera have been merged into Oncidium,[3] so the nothogenus × Aliceara applies.
Other related names affected by the merger into Oncidium include:
- × Bakerara (abbreviated Bak. in the horticultural trade) = Brassia × Miltonia × Oncidium × Odontoglossum,[1] now just Brassia × Miltonia × Oncidium = × Aliceara
- × Beallara (abbreviated Bllra. in the horticultural trade) = Brassia × Cochlioda × Miltonia × Odontoglossum,[1] now just Brassia × Miltonia × Oncidium = × Aliceara
- × Colmanara = Miltonia × Odontoglossum × Oncidium,[1] now just Miltonia × Oncidium = × Miltonidium[1]
- × Degarmoara (abbreviated Dgmra. in the horticultural trade) = Brassia × Miltonia × Odontoglossum,[1] now Brassia × Miltonia × Oncidium = × Aliceara
