Oncidium brandtii

A natural hybrid from Colombia, originally described as an Odontoglossum and moved to Oncidium when that genus was merged in 2008. It has no wild GBIF records with coordinates, so its conditions are inferred from the cool Andean cloud forests where Colombian Odontoglossum-group plants and their natural hybrids grow.

Where it grows wild

Presumed epiphyte of cool, misty Andean cloud forest like its Odontoglossum-group parents; no habitat details have been published for this hybrid.

No wild records carry an elevation; Colombian Odontoglossum-group species mostly grow around 1800–2800 m.
