Oncidium minaxoides

Oncidium minaxoides is a name created by Chase and Williams when they merged several genera into Oncidium; it is accepted, but no range or wild records were found in the data. The '-oides' pattern suggests a replacement name for an earlier 'minax' species. This profile gives only generic intermediate Oncidium care.
