Oncidium lehmannianum

A small Colombian Oncidium first described by Kraenzlin as Sigmatostalix lehmanniana and moved to Oncidium in 2008. Its few records come from the very wet Pacific lowlands of the Chocó, so it is a warm-growing miniature that wants constant moisture and humidity.

Where it grows wild

Presumed twig or branch epiphyte in wet lowland rainforest; former Sigmatostalix species are small plants with fine roots that dislike drying out.

The 6 records sit at about 100 m in the Chocó; no elevations were recorded on the specimens.
