Oncidium I’d please

[ArronOB]

Yep, I know a noid is a noid etc

But

Can anyone suggest an ID for this Oncidium. I think it’s a very common primary hybrid of two well known species, but I’ve lost the tag. I vaguely recall that one parent had a species name like a latinised version of ‘tiger’, and the other one had ‘leuco’ somewhere in the species name, which I guess is not surprising as it means yellow. Googling hasn’t turned up either species.

This has come about because a neighbour expressed an interest in orchids, so I made about a dozen divisions from mine and tied them too a tree in her yard. Now, after being dehydrated and roasted in the sun for a year, 4 are flowering - 2 Brassia longissima, a cochlioda ‘bronze scarab’ and one of these (a better hit rate then I get). If the ID isn’t exact it won’t matter, it’s just a way for her to mentally locate it somewhere in the vast pantheon of orchids.

Cheers

Hi Arron. For images - orchidboard usually accepts large images and then it resizes it to 1023 x 763 or something like that. It depends on the original aspect ratio anyway. Otherwise, pre-size the image to 1024 x 768, then upload it.

It sounds like you are describing O. mexico (leucochilum × trigrinum), but looking at photos of that cross it doesn't match very well. I would say this definitely has some relation to at least one of the parents though.

This looks like it has some O. fuscatum in it...

here is a picture of Onc. Mexico (not mine but looks pretty close to yours):

Those two names are exactly the ones I was trying to remember. I’m sure that was what was in the label. I agree it doesn’t look all that close, but I’ll tell her these are probably one or both of the parents - if not then something very close.

Thanks for the help.
