We don't currently have a photo of the parent plant, but click here to see a photo of the same species. According to the seed donor, this flower on a different plant of another owner (Glen Ladnier) shows the same size (roughly 3/4 inches), shape, and general coloration, although the donor's flower is slightly less yellow and somewhat darker brown. The lip is identical. |

Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range W (70-90°F)
Comments: Parent plant: Oncidium lindenii has miniature flowers with an insect-like appearance. The lip is very dark and shiny, almost blue-black, giving it the appearance of abdominal section of insect. The species was featured in a 2002 Orchids magazine picture. The leaves on the plant are a small mule-ear type, with lengths no more than 8 to 10 inches. Inflorescences developed in the spring, and bloomed until September. Branching also occurred as the lengths reached 12-14 inches. Medium-sized plant.

The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: Mexico, Belize, and Honduras. This epiphytic, "mule-eared"
species is found in southeastern Mexico in the low-lying regions of the
states of Campeche, Quintana Roo, Tabasco, Veracruz, and Yucatán with
distribution reported near Tuxtepec in extreme northeastern Oaxaca and
extending southward into Belize and Honduras. In Belize, plants are rare
but are occasionally found in riverine forests in the Cayo District, an
area of heavy rainfall in southwestern Belize that generally lies more
than 1000 ft. (300 m) above sea level. Details of the habitat in Honduras
were not found. These plants have also been reported from western Mexico
in the states of Michoacán and Nayarit; but McVaugh, quoting from a 1974
Jean M. de Lapiner article in Orquidea (Méx.) 4:207, indicated that the
plants reported from western Mexico were probably Oncidium oestlundianum
L. O. Williams, which has flowers that are very similarly colored.
