Nothogenus for intergeneric hybrids between Eulychnia and Schlumbergera.
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).
A joke name from a fictional story. “Hideous illegitimate hybrid genera swarmed over him, like Pilocopiosocereus (Pilocopiapoa x Pilosocereus) and Schlumbergolychnia (Schlumbergera x Eulychnia) and his pillows grew awful hooked spines.”
