Oncidium magnificum

Described by Senghas in 1993 from Bolivia, this Oncidium has no georeferenced wild records. Bolivian Oncidium mostly grow in the montane Yungas forests, so the profile assumes intermediate conditions with a dry winter; the lowland climate in the data is a placeholder.

Where it grows wild

Not documented beyond the description; assumed to be a forest epiphyte of the Bolivian Andean slopes like most Bolivian Oncidium.

Unknown; the placeholder site at 201 m in Santa Cruz is probably too low.
