Oncidium chasei

Oncidium chasei is a Peruvian orchid first described as Cochlioda chasei and moved to Oncidium in 2008. Cochlioda are cool-growing epiphytes of high Andean cloud forest, so this plant almost certainly wants cool, humid conditions rather than the hot Amazonian climate in the measured data.

Where it grows wild

No habitat data under this name. Its former genus Cochlioda consists of epiphytes of wet high-elevation Andean forest, which is assumed here.

Not recorded; Cochlioda typically grow around 2000 to 3500 m, so a high montane origin is likely.
