× Aliceara

× Aliceara, abbreviated Alcra. in the horticultural trade, is the nothogenus for intergeneric hybrids between three orchid genera. 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:

× Beallara = Brassia × Cochlioda × Miltonia × Odontoglossum, now just Brassia × Miltonia × Oncidium = × Aliceara
× Colmanara = Miltonia × Odontoglossum × Oncidium, now just Miltonia × Oncidium = x ''Miltonidium''
