Oncidium croesus

[Rosim_in_BR]

Oncidium croesus is a small sized species native to Serra do Mar (a coastal Atlantic forest in Brazil). The pseudo bulbs are very small and the leaves relatively hard. Flowers (more or less 0,8" across) are few, 3 to 5 per stem, and barely are put above the leaves, but a well-grown plant can produce several of them making a nice visual effect. The lip is very attractive with its intricate white and reddish-brown callus. It is slightly perfumed.
