    Nice species, having title "common" is rarely seen in today's collections. Grown cool to intermediate at rather bright light.

    Nice one, Alexey. I've wanted to try this but somehow never had the opportunity.

    Should the title of this one be corrected to Oncidium sotoanum?

    The name Onc. ornithorhynchum has been misapplied to this pink-flowered Central American species for many years, until Miguel Soto Arenas checked the type and realised that the name refers to a yellow-flowered species from Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.

    Cheers.

    I agree, but in 2014 the epithet was appropriate.

    You may not realise that Rolando Jiménez and Eric Hágsater published Onc. sotoanum in 2010.

    I did a parenthetical edit. It will now show up in a search with both names.
