In recent years the botanical classification of many 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''. Five species of the original ''Miltonia'' now belong to ''Miltoniopsis''. The result is that most of the x ''Burrageara'' hybrids should be called x ''Oncidopsis'' (''
Miltoniopsis'' x ''
Oncidium'') or x ''Miltonidium'' (''
Miltonia'' x ''
Oncidium'').
