Hi Gijs

It just occurred to me, when I was looking through a folder on my Mac
and found your work on Lambis x Sinustrombus, that hybrid genera are
open for description as new genera.

It is normal with orchid workers to describe hybrid genera
(Sophronitis, Laeliocattleya, Potinaria etc). I'd bet that there's
nothing at all about this in the Code.

Why not do it? Lambistrombus? Strombilambis? Digitistrombus? Grebneffia?? (ha!)
