Etymology

Greek akantha ‘spine’ + Salpingolobivia. Incorrectly formed nothogenus name for hybrids between ×Chamaelobivia (= Chamaecereus × Lobivia) and Salpingolobivia.

With 22 letters, this is the second-longest name for a vascular plant genus ever published. The longest is ×Marcchristopherstormara P.A.Storm & J.M.H.Shaw (Orchidaceae) with 23 letters.
