× Burrageara, abbreviated Burr. in the horticultural trade,[1] is the nothogenus for intergeneric hybrids between the orchid genera Cochlioda, Miltonia, Odontoglossum and Oncidium (Cda. × Milt. × Odm. × Onc.). It was grown for the first time by the American Albert Burrage in 1927, and named after him.
This is one of the easiest orchids.
In recent years the botanical classification of a lot of Orchid genera have been changed. In Genera Orchidacearum (AM Pridgeon, PJ Cribb, FN Rasmussen, MW Chase) the genera Cochlioda and Odontoglossum have mostly been merged to Oncidium. Many species of the original Miltonia now belong to Miltoniopsis. The result is that most of the x Burrageara hybrids should be called x Oncidopsis or x Miltonidium.
