Oncidium koenigeri

A Peruvian Oncidium named by Chase and Williams in 2009, honouring the Odontoglossum specialist Wolfgang Königer, and very poorly documented. With no mapped records, treat it as a cool to intermediate Andean cloud-forest epiphyte rather than following the lowland climate measured below.

Where it grows wild

Nothing specific is published. Peruvian odontoglossum-group Oncidium are epiphytes of montane cloud forest, which this profile assumes.

Unknown. The measured climate is from a lowland point at 273 m chosen only because Peru is the listed country.
