Oncidium manningianum

Oncidium manningianum is an Ecuadorian Oncidium described by Königer in 2008, known essentially only from its original description. No habitat details were found, so these conditions are a generic intermediate, humid Andean regime based on the genus and the climate fill point, and should be treated as a starting guess.

Where it grows wild

Presumably an epiphyte of humid Andean slope forest, as for most Ecuadorian Oncidium; Königer described many small Oncidium from the Andean slopes, but no habitat notes were available.

No elevation recorded; the climate fill point is at about 1215 m.
