Miltonidium name change

[plantaholic]

At our annual orchid show last week, one of the vendors mentioned that they now call miltonidiums by a different name. (of course, they must constantly be changing something!). I do not remember what she said the name is. Does anyone know? I have three of these beauties and would kind of like to know what I now have to call them.

I'm not sure, some may have been renamed differently to others (individual species moving genus leading to their offspring changing genus). For example Miltonidium Hawaiian Sunset is now just Oncidium Hawaiian Sunset. Usually intergeneric name changes result from reclassification of the parent species.

If yours have names, I can look in OrchidWiz and see what the latest name is for you

They are Miltonidium Ruffles 'Scent of a Woman' and Rosy Sunset. The name change is from Miltonidium to something else.

They are both referred to as just Oncidiums as per RHS. Miltonidium is still shown as a synonym.
