BCR GENERA CHANGES: Orthophytum / Sincoraea. Cultivars and new bigeneric genera names compiled by Geoff Lawn, BSI Cultivar Registrar, March, 2017

Baseline references: 1. BSI Journal Vol.66(1) pp.6-19 (Jan-March, 2016). Re-establishment of Sincoraea (Bromeliaceae). R Louzada & M Wanderley. Eleven former Orthophytum species: Sincoraeas albopicta, amoena, burle-marxii, hatschbachii, heleniceae, humilis, mucugensis, navioides, ophiuroides, rafaelii, ulei have generated changes to BCR entries’ seed parents and /or pollen parents, thus the need for genera reclassification of cultivars listed below. 2. I.C.N. Rules (Melbourne Code 2011) Article H.6, Clause H.6.2: The nothogeneric name of a bigeneric hybrid is a condensed formula in which the names adopted for the parental genera are combined 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.
