Oncidium tipuloides

Name: Oncidium tipuloides Rchb. f.

Synonyms: Oncidium ototmeton Kraenzl.; Odontoglossum tipuloides (Rchb. f.) Dalström & W. E. Higgins

Etymology: The genus name Oncidium refers to a callus-like protuberance on the lip; tipuloides means “caddis-like” and describes the delicate appearance of the flowers.

First described: 1852 by Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach.

Origin/distribution: Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia.

Location/habitat: Epiphytic in moist montane forests at intermediate elevations. Cultivate in cool to intermediate conditions of approximately 13–24 °C, in bright to partial shade, with high humidity and good air circulation.

Description and notes: A medium-sized orchid with laterally flattened pseudobulbs, each bearing a single oblong-lanceolate leaf and a branched inflorescence with numerous delicate flowers. Use fine to medium bark, keep evenly moist, and avoid waterlogging.
