Stellamizutaara is a cross combining Brassavola, Broughtonia and Cattleya, which this was when it was registered in 2000. And this one is actually a fairly simple hybrid, just 2 generations from species.
(Brassavola nodosa x Brassavola flagellaris) x (Cattleya aurantiaca x Broughtonia sanguinea)
Which is Brassavola Maria del Carmen x Cattleytonia Why Not, as noted.
Later, Cattleya aurantiaca was reclassified to Guarianthe aurantiaca, and the combination became Brassavola x Broughtonia x Guarianthe, which is Broanthevola, the official name now.
And a cute little thing by any name...
