This member of the
Orchidaceae family was
given this name by Robert Allen Rolfe in 1890. It is found in the
cloud forests of northern Bolivia and Peru, growing in the trees
with quite some water and some sun. The pseudobulbs will grow to
four centimetres in diameter, the plant up to 30 centimetres in
height, 45 with the bright red flowers.
Its name is derived from the
Greek word ὀγκος, (onkos), meaning 'swelling'. This refers to
the callus at the lower lip. The species name after Noël Pierre
Joseph León Bernard, 1874 - 1911, a French botanist, famous for the
discovery of the symbiotic germination of orchid seeds. |
