Oncidium andradeanum

Oncidium andradeanum, described by Dodson and Bennett in 1989, is known from Ecuador and Peru but has no georeferenced wild records. Without locality data, an intermediate-to-warm epiphytic Oncidium regime from Andean east-slope forest is the safest assumption.

Where it grows wild

Unknown in detail; probably an epiphyte of humid forest on the eastern Andean slopes, like most Oncidium described in that series.

Unknown; the two reference sites sit at about 270 m in Peru and 1200 m in Ecuador.
