Oncidium maderoanum

Oncidium ×maderoanum is a natural hybrid named by J.M.H. Shaw in 2013 and listed as native to Colombia. Nothing specific is published about its habitat, so the profile treats it as an intermediate Andean Oncidium; the lowland climate in the data is a placeholder, not where it grows.

Where it grows wild

Not documented; Colombian Oncidium natural hybrids generally arise where both parents grow, as epiphytes in Andean montane forest.

Unknown; probably mid-elevation Andean forest rather than the lowland site in the data.
