Oncidium floride-phillipsae

Named by Moir and Hawkes as Oncidium × floride-phillipsae, a natural hybrid. Moir worked mainly on Caribbean equitant (fan-leaved) Oncidium, now Tolumnia, so this is probably one of those hybrids, but no parentage or locality was found. Treat this profile as a general equitant-Oncidium guide.
