Oncidium reflexum
An epiphytic Oncidium endemic to the Pacific side of western and southern Mexico, from Jalisco and Michoacán to Guerrero, Morelos and Oaxaca. It grows in seasonally dry oak and pine-oak forest where months of summer rain alternate with a long, dry winter. Grow it intermediate and bright, and give it a drier, cooler winter.
Where it grows wild
An epiphyte on trees, mostly oaks, in seasonally dry montane oak and pine-oak forest and the moister forest of ravines on the Pacific slope of Mexico. Specific habitat notes for this species are thin in the sources consulted; this is inferred from the record localities.
GBIF records mostly lie between about 600 and 2500 m, most often 1200–1900 m. A value of 7500 m in the records is an error.
