Oncidium mixturum

A rarely recorded Bolivian species described in Odontoglossum by Dalström and Sönnemark and moved to Oncidium in 2008. Only one wild record exists, so its true conditions are uncertain; as a member of the former Odontoglossum group it is most likely an intermediate-to-cool Yungas cloud-forest epiphyte rather than the warm lowland plant the single climate site suggests.

Where it grows wild

Probably an epiphyte of humid montane forest on the eastern Andean slope (Yungas) of La Paz, Bolivia; habitat details are not documented in the data.

The single record has no elevation; the terrain model gives about 900 m at the rounded coordinates, but the climate grid cell averages about 1600 m and related species grow higher.
