Oncidium denisoniae

A Colombian Oncidium known from very little published information and no georeferenced wild records. The single climate point in the data is a lowland placeholder, not a collection site. Treat it as a cool-to-intermediate Andean epiphyte: bright filtered light, cool nights, constant humidity and quick-drying roots.

Where it grows wild

No habitat data is available for this species. Most Colombian Oncidium, including the many former Odontoglossum species, are epiphytes of humid montane and cloud forest in the Andes, and the profile assumes that habitat.

No recorded elevation. The genus in Colombia is mostly found at about 1,500–2,800 m, and that band is assumed here.
