History
Several grexes were formerly placed in × Miltonidium, which are now in × Gomonia (= Miltonia × Gomesa), for instance Gomonia Mateus Pomini UEL, generated from Miltonia regnellii × Gomesa imperatoris-maximiliani, two native Brazilian orchids.[3] This hybrid was registered with the Royal Horticultural Society in May 2005.
