Remarks
Withner published Epilopsis yumanensis (a monotypic genus) as a hybrid species and cited the parental species as: Epidendrum olivaceum and Laeliopsis dominguensis. As a condensed formula, Epilopsis has the first part Ep- from Epidendrum, but does not use the whole of Laeliopsis or its second part -liopsis (contrary to Melbourne Code Art. H.6.2). He provided a Latin description and a type citation. Treatment of Epilopsis as a non nothogenus would validate the genus name (see Art. H.6.2 Ex. 4)
