Oncidium ligiae Anguloa branched stemsA botanically unique species from the cloud forests of South America, producing long, pendulous, highly branched spikes densely set with numerous small flowers of a remarkably distinctive structure. The sepals and petals are reduced to extremely narrow, thread like, reflexed filaments, creating a striking contrast with the large, inflated, saccate lip that bears a bold yellow orange callus and dark spotting at its base.
