Oncidium amabile

Oncidium amabile Rchb.f. is an obscure name published by Reichenbach in 1865, apparently from cultivated material, with no wild records and no native range in Kew's checklist. Its origin and identity are uncertain, so anything below is a generic intermediate Oncidium regime, not species data.
