Default Encylia name ?

Hi all, long time no see, my number 1 daughter bought me an Encylia
'Octopussy' at RHS Wisley yesterday, I wondered if it should be
'Encylia Cochleata var Octopussy' or am I looking at the wrong sort of
books ?

I don't see Octopussy as a registered hybrid name, so you may be right John,
that its Encyclia cochleata 'Octopussy'. But I don't know enough about
what's making the rounds of the shows these days to know whether this is a
popular orchid out there in the marketplace or not. Anyone?
