Always love to be reminded of this one...
This species has been moved to its own genus all alone, Ornithophora. Ornithophora and Sigmatostalix are part of the Oncidium alliance. There are just a few hybrids registered. I bet Ornithocidium Marie (Onc. ornithorhynchum x Orpha. radicans) is a sweet little plant.
When I grew this species I found it to be a real weed, growing and blooming almost constantly whether I put it among the Catts or the Paphs in windows, or in a terrarium with other minis. And I could give away a piece every few months without setting it back at all. I also sometimes noticed a slight fresh pleasant scent, nothing real distinct
