Plants of the genus × Aliceara have relatively stretched pseudobulbs, from which the leaves and the long floral stem develop. The inflorescences have from three to seven flowers, in a large variety of colors and shapes. At the end of the flowering period the orchid produces a new pseudobulb that can create a new plant.[citation needed]
The name『× Cambria』is used commercially for hybrids among genera of subtribe Oncidiinae, initially including the genera Cochlioda and Odontoglossum.[citation needed] These two genera have been merged into Oncidium,[3] so the nothogenus × Aliceara applies.
