Beautiful miniature orchid, there are two types of floral stems in this species, one barely reaching the top of the leaves and another, like this one, much longer. As for the genus name, Braem want it Lophiaris, Mark Chase want it Trichocentrum... well for now I'm following Lindley, the father of modern orchidology and who first described this orchid, and keeping Oncidium.
