× Aliceara
× Aliceara**, abbreviated **Alcra. in the horticultural trade, is the nothogenus for intergeneric hybrids between three orchid genera (Brassia × Miltonia × Oncidium). The name Cambria is used in the horticultural trade.
Description
Plants of the genus × Aliceara have relatively stretched pseudobulbs, from which the leaves and the long floral stem develop. The inflorescences have from three to seven flowers, in a large variety of colors and shapes. At the end of the flowering period the orchid produces a new pseudobulb that can create a new plant.
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, so the nothogenus × Aliceara applies. Other related names affected by the merger into Oncidium include:
