Oncidium manuelariasii

Oncidium manuelariasii is the former Odontoglossum ariasii, a Peruvian cool-growing species renamed because the epithet ariasii was already used in Oncidium. Its one record sits at about 2150 m near the Machu Picchu area, with mild days, cool nights and a marked dry season from May to October.
