Oncidium buchtienoides

A miniature twig epiphyte from Bolivia and Peru, formerly Sigmatostalix buchtienii, moved to Oncidium in 2008. Almost nothing is published on its habitat; treat it like other former Sigmatostalix species: shaded, humid, intermediate conditions and a small mount or pot that never dries out completely.

Where it grows wild

Known from very few collections. Former Sigmatostalix species are small epiphytes on twigs and thin branches in wet montane forest; the single Peruvian record sits around 1,200 m on the eastern Andean slope.

One wild record at about 1,190 m in central Peru; the genus group typically grows between roughly 800 and 2,000 m.
