The Oncidium Species and their Sections Part 2 - M to Z The following is a list of the species in the oncidium genus. The information comes from Garay and Stacy's important work (Garay, L.A. and Stacy, J.E., 1974 'Synopsis of The Genus Oncidium' Bradea 1:40, 25 September, 1974) where they completed a study of the genus. Their work, published in the relatively unknown periodical Bradea is not readily available to growers and those interested in this genus. The following list is extracted with full acknlwledgemlent of the source of their species list together with the designated sections. Some more recent work on individual sections has been completed by other workers, and hopefully this work will continue, which will supplement this information. The data is, however, useful in grouping the plants into workable sections. Most of the plants in each sectiona have similar natural habitats and consequently similar cultural requirements. The pages on this site for each section attempt to identilfy the appropriate culture to assist those cultivating the plants under diverse conditions.   SPECIES  SECTION  macronyx Rhinocerotes rnacropetallum Crispa macropus Cimicifera macranthum Cyrtochilum maculatum Stellata rnaculosum Synsepala/varicosa magdalenae Rostrata maizaefolium Oblongata mandonii Synsepala/varicosa rnarshallianum Crispa martianum Synsepala/varicosa massangei Oblongata mathieuanum Oblongata megalopterum Synsepala/varicosa meirax Cimicifera melanops Rostrata mendax Cyrtochilum mentigerum Cimicifera metallicum Cyrtochilum microchilum Cyrtochilum rnicropogon Barbata microxiphium Cyrtochilum rnierax Cimicifera millianum Planilabria mimeticum Cucullata minax Cyrtochilum miserrimum Rostrata moirianum Equitants/Variegata/Tolumnias monachicum Cyrtochilum montanum Synsepala/varicosa murinum Cimicifera     nanum Plurituberculata / Miltoniastrum The 'mule eared' oncidiums nebulosum Oblongata nigratum Planilabria nubigenum Cucullata nudum Cebelletae     oblongatum Oblongata obovatum Concoloria obryzatum Excavata obsoletum Plurituberculata / Miltoniastrum The 'mule eared' oncidiums ochmatochilum Barbata oerstedii Plurituberculata / Miltoniastrum The 'mule eared' oncidiums oestulundianum Plurituberculata / Miltoniastrum The 'mule eared' oncidiums oliganthum Stellata olivaceum Cucullata onustum Onusta orbatum Heterantha orgyale Cyrtochilum ornithocephalum Heterantha ornithopodium Planifolia ornithorhynchum Rostrata orthostates Oblongata orthotis Heterantha osmentii Equitants/Variegata/Tolumnias ostenianum Cebelletae ototmenton Rostrata ottonis Cebelletae oviedomotae Stellata     pachyphyllum Plurituberculata / Miltoniastrum The 'mule eared' oncidiums panamense Planifolia panduratum Planilabria panduriferum Plurituberculata / Miltoniastrum The 'mule eared' oncidiums papilio Glanduligera -
