Eplc. Mitsuko Takasaki 'Paradise'

[Den-phal52]

I'm the new orchid parent of this one. I saw Eplc. and thought it was a hybrid made up of Epidendrum and laelia cattleya. Can someone explain the "p" in its name?

This is Epilaeliocattleya (Eplc.) A human-made intergeneric hybrid.

Just to confuse the picture (note the discussion in the Identification form on Oncidium intergenerics)... current classifications make this Enanthleya [Eny.] since one of the Cattleyas in the mix (aurantiaca) was put in the genus Guarianthe. So both are correct, the second one is the currently accepted genus.
