xBiltanthus Red Burst
Intergeneric Cryptanthus x Billbergia Cryptanthus bahianus x Billbergia nutans, by Mead - Smith/Read.
(Ed: xCryptbergia or xBiltanthus ?
- The first rule for making an intergeneric name out of two genus, is obviously something that rolls off the toungue relatively easily.
- An equually important rule is precedence - who coined and published the combination first.
For a long time xCryptbergia was used. But recently an overlooked scientific publication was re-discovered where xBiltanthus was coined many years earlier.
To acknowledge the original "inventer" of this combination, the name we now should use is xBiltanthus)
