Oncidium hauensteinii

Oncidium hauensteinii is a Bolivian species described as Odontoglossum hauensteinii by Königer and moved to Oncidium in 2008. Former Odontoglossum species of Bolivia grow in cool, wet Andean cloud forest, so grow it cool and moist; the lowland climate in the data does not represent it.

Where it grows wild

Almost certainly an epiphyte of cool, wet montane cloud forest on the eastern Andean slopes (Yungas), as for other former Odontoglossum; nothing species-specific beyond the description is published.

No recorded elevations; Bolivian Odontoglossum typically grow around 1,800–3,000 m.
