Oncidium albicans

Oncidium albicans is an Ecuadorian species described by Königer in 2008 and known from very little material; GBIF holds no wild records. Treat it as an intermediate-temperature epiphyte of Andean east-slope forest: warm days, mild nights, rain all year and bright filtered light.

Where it grows wild

Almost nothing is published on its habitat; like most Ecuadorian Oncidium it is presumably an epiphyte in humid montane forest. The climate below comes from a representative east-slope site, not from collection records.

Unknown for this species; the reference site sits at about 1200 m on the eastern Andean slope.
