Tag reads: Onc. catornes 'open slope' chachapoyas


IPNI does not list an Oncidium catornes, and I don't see any species
epithet for which "catornes" is a plausible misspelling. However,
there is an Oncidium xanthornis, which might sound a little like
"catornes." Onc. xanthornis (also known as Cyrtochilum xanthornis) is
from Peru and Ecuador.

Chachapoyas is the capital of Amazonas in Peru. The clonal name 'open
slope' may be descriptive. Perhaps you have an Oncidium xanthornis
that was collected on an open slope in the vicinity of Chachapoyas.

When it blooms, you may want to send a flower to the Orchid
Identification Center at Selby.
