ORIGIN: Found as a large sized, hot to warm growing epiphyte in Veracruz and San Luis Potosi, Mexico.

DESCRIPTION: Found as a large sized, hot to warm growing epiphyte in Veracruz and San Luis Potosi, Mexico with small pseudobulbs carrying a single, erect, narrowly elliptic, keeled ventrally leaf that blooms in the late summer and fall on an erect, to 4' [120 cm] long, erratically branched, racemose, many flowered inflorescence with successive opening flowers arising from a basal leaf sheath. The flowers are about 1 in diameter, and according to Weyman Bussey this species is a variant of Onc. luridum or Onc. carthagenense or a separate species. I have all three species and can see differences in habit, inflorescence like in this one that has a very erect spike and only becomes slightly arcuate as the large flowers open and bloom times.

FLOWER SIZE: 1 inch [2.5 cm] -- information provided by Jay Pfahl, author of the Internet Orchid Species Encyclopedia (IOSPE).
