hort. ex D.R.Hunt (1966)
Etymology
| 🌵 Author(s) | David Hunt |
Nothogenus for intergeneric hybrids between Aporocactus and Epiphyllum.
The names of nothogenera for bigeneric hybrids are formed by combining the names of the parental genera "into a single word, using the first part or the whole of one, the last part or the whole of the other (but not the whole of both) and, optionally, a connecting vowel" (article H.6.2, International Code of Nomenclature).
Not to be confused with ×Aporophyllum H.Johnson (1952), which is an invalid name for Aporocactus × “Orchid Cacti” and hence a synonym of “epicactus“. It is also invalid because it appeared in a trade catalogue (article 30.7, International Code of Nomenclature).
