I think the name "x-Brunsdonna" is botanically incorrect. I think probably the correct name would be x-Amarygia. Both names refer to the same bigeneric cross. Neither IPNI nor TROPICOS suggests which is correct, but "Brunsdonna" combines a genus name with a species name, which doesn't seem correct to me.
