The current accepted generic epithet is
Dinema. This was included in
Encyclia, but since the genus has been reevaluated, a segregate genus was suitable for this species. It may have also been included in
Epidendrum also, in which
Encyclia spurred from
Epidendrum. It is referred to as
Dinema polybulbon.
Confusing enough?
