Oncidium heinzelii

Oncidium heinzelii is a Venezuelan species described by Königer in 2008, with no georeferenced wild records and almost nothing published on its habitat. Grow it as a generic intermediate Andean Oncidium and watch how it responds; the lowland climate in the data is not a reliable guide.
