Oncidium papilio Lindl., Bot. Reg. 11:t. 910. 1825.

TYPE: Trinidad. For this highly curious parasite, the public I indebted to his Excellency S ir Ralph Woodford, Governor of Trinidad, by whom living plants have been sent to several collections in this country. The plant from which our drawing was taken flowered in a stove at Mr. Colvill's Nursery, last March (holotype, K; illustration of type).
