Oncidium silvanum

[Rosim_in_BR]

This is a relatively small plant of fusiform bulbs native of the State of Bahia, Brazil described in 1991 by Campacci and Castro. It closely remembers a Baptistonia and an attempt of reclassification in 2004 by Castro e Chiron seems to have not been accepted. This is perhaps of minor importance, because the Oncidinae complex is about to be completely restructured with several transfers and new names.
