× Beallara

× Beallara, abbreviated Bllra. in the horticultural trade,[1] was the nothogenus for intergeneric hybrids between the orchid genera Brassia, Cochlioda, Miltonia and Odontoglossum (Brs. x Cda. x Milt. x Odm.). As Cochlioda and Odontoglossum have been synonymized with Oncidium, the current genera involved are Brassia x Miltonia × Oncidium, so the correct genus name is × Aliceara.[2]
