Oncidium caminiophorum

An old Reichenbach species (1852) from Venezuela, known from very little material and with no georeferenced wild records. It is presumably a montane epiphyte like most Venezuelan Oncidium; grow it intermediate and humid rather than following the hot lowland placeholder climate.

Where it grows wild

No habitat details are available. Most Venezuelan Oncidium described from 19th-century collections came from the Coastal Cordillera and Andes, in montane forest at roughly 1,000–2,500 m; epiphytic growth is assumed.

Not recorded; assumed montane.
