Oncidium heterosepalum

The former Odontoglossum heterosepalum (first described as a variety of O. angustatum), a Venezuelan member of the Odontoglossum group now merged into Oncidium. Like its relatives it is almost certainly a cool-growing cloud forest epiphyte of the Venezuelan Andes; the lowland climate point in the data does not fit.

Where it grows wild

No species-specific habitat data; Odontoglossum relatives grow on mossy trunks and branches in cool, misty Andean cloud forest.

Unknown; Venezuelan Odontoglossum species grow mostly between about 2,000 and 3,000 m.
