Oncidium pulvinatum (6)
mesquens
![Gold Star Critiquer/Gold Note Writer [C: 150 W: 9 N: 201]](http://i1.treknature.com/misc/g-n-g.gif) (1364) | Flower Size to almost 1" [to almost 2.5 cm]
Found in Brazil as a compact, medium sized, hot to warm growing epiphyte with compressed, suborbicular-oblong psuedobulbs carrying a single, apical, rigid, erect, oblong, acute leaf that blooms on a slender, erect or arching, flexuous, 5 to 8' [150 to 240 cm] long, loosely paniculate, many flowered inflorescence with linear-triangular, very acute floral bracts occuring in the summer and fall. Cited as a synonym of Oncidium divaricatum but there are many discrepancies so I leave them as separate species.
Synonyms Aurinocidium pulvinatum ( Lindl. ) Romowicz & Szlach. 2006; Grandiphyllum pulvinatum ( Lindl. ) Docha Neto 2006; Oncidium sciurus Scheidw. 1839
