×Phyllocereus
C.Knebel, nom. illeg., nom. inval. (1938)
Etymology
| 🌵 Author(s) | Curt Knebel |
Nothogenus for intergeneric hybrids between Heliocereus and Phyllocactus.
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).
This name is invalid because the parentage was not cited and illegitimate as a younger homonym of Phyllocereus Miq. and on account of the illegitimacy of the parent genus Phyllocactus. Erroneously attributed to Gottfried Knebel in IPNI.
