Where it grows wild

Little is published on this species. The record sites are montane cloud and elfin forest in the southern Ecuadorian Andes, where odontoglossum-type Oncidium grow as epiphytes on mossy branches in filtered light.

Climate sites sit at about 2100–2800 m; the records themselves rarely carry an elevation.
