1. Oncidiinae Hybrids

2. The Problem Many of the Oncidiinae species have been reclassified, rendering the current judging system when dealing with their hybrids largely based on breeding and difficult to administer technically or logically Many plants may appear under 2 or 3 different names all of which were correct at some time. The solution is to split this alliance based largely on what you see (shape and/or size) and less on its breeding. The following sections are those that we propose to use at the OSCOV show.

3. Miltoniopsis This section would include only hybrids of Miltoniopsis. Miltonias would now be judged under Any Other Oncidiinae

4. Miltoniopsis Miltoniopsis Alger ‘Lollypop’ Miltoniopsis Andy Easton ‘Banyena’ (Formerly Miltonia Alger) (Formerly Miltonia Andy Easton)

5. Gomesa Influence This section is for plants that show a large influence of Gomesa in their flowers. Gomesas generally are the plants we used to consider Oncidium varicosum type and Oncidium crispum type, along with some others.

6. Gomesa Moonlit Plains ‘Sarah’ Gomesa Autumn Splash ‘Boudreaux’ (Formerly Oncidium Moonlit Plains) (Formerly Oncidium Autumn Splash) Gomenkoa Spotty Burr ‘Highland’ Gomesa Pokie ‘Luetticke’s Splatter’ (Formerly Oncidium Spotty Burr) (Formerly Oncidium Pokie)

7. Oncidesa Sungold ‘Stephanie’Gomesa Specialty's Cameo ‘Sandra’ (Formerly Oncidium Sungold) (Formerly Oncidium Specialty’s Cameo)

8. Brassia Influence These hybrids will have Brassia in the background producing relatively thin petals and sepals, and star shaped flowers. Where this influence is not obvious, the plant does not fall into this section.

9. Brassia Edvah Loo ‘Hellis’ Bratonia Estrelita ‘Banyena’ (Formerly Miltassia Estrelita)

10. Brassidium Kenneth Biven ‘Santa Barbara’ Brassidium Pagan Lovesong ‘Lorraine’ (Formerly Odontobrassia Kenneth Biven) (Formerly Maclellanara Pagan Lovesong)

11. Exhibition Shaped Oncidiinae These were formerly known as Odontoglossums and are those whose shape is based on Oncidium alexandrae – Formerly Odontoglossum crispum Where the shape is not a classic filled in shape they would not get included in this section It is not necessary that the plant be purely Odontoglossum type as long as the appearance is predominately Odontoglossum type

12. Oncidium Anna Claire ‘Iankey’ Oncidium Black Diamond (Formerly Odontoglossum Anna Claire) (Formerly Odontoglossum Black Diamond) Oncidium Aviator ‘Beenak Blush’ Oncidium Night Train ‘Beenak’ (Formerly Odontioda Aviator) (Formerly Odontioda Night Train)

13. Oncidium Proud Tiger ‘Beenak’ Oncidium Mahogany Ship ‘Beenak’ (Formerly Odontocidium Proud Tiger) (Formerly Odontioda Mahogany Ship) Oncidium Purple Sparkle ‘Beenak’ Oncidium Nar-nar-goon ‘Beenak’ (Formerly Odontioda Purple Sparkle) (Formerly Odontioda Nar-nar-goon)

14. Any Other Oncidiinae - Large These would be the larger Oncidiinae hybrids that have not already been covered. It will take some time to be definitive about the size to fit in this section. A guideline would be approximately 80mm and up. As with judging other classes on size (Cymbidiums, Laeliinea) you need to judge size by experience.

15. Miltonia Tropic Skies ‘Anurat’ Oncidopsis Wyatt's Torch ‘Atlantis’ (Formerly Miltonia Cogniauxiae(Formerly Vuylstekeara Wyatt’s Torch) Psychopsis Butterfly ‘Bernadette’ Miltonia Goodale Moir ‘Golden Wonder’ (Formerly Oncidium Butterfly)

16. Any Other Oncidiinae - Intermediate These would be the intermediate sized Oncidiinae hybrids that have not already been covered. It will take some time to be definitive about the size to fit in this section. A guideline would be approximately 45 – 80mm As with judging other classes on size (Cymbidiums, Laeliinea) you need to judge size by experience.

17. Oncostele Wildcat ‘Bobcat’ Oncidesa Ursula Isler ‘Kangaroo Lake’ (Formerly Colmanara Wildcat or (Formerly Wilsonara Ursula Isler) Odontocidium Wildcat) Rhynchostele Bic-ross ‘Christine’ Gomonia Memoria Athalie Thomas ‘Sunset’ (Formerly Odontoglossum Bic-ross) (Formerly Miltonidium Memoria Athalie Thomas)

18. Any Other Oncidiinae - Miniature These would be the miniature sized Oncidiinae hybrids that have not already been covered. It will take some time to be definitive about the size to fit in this section. A guideline would be less than approximately 45mm As with judging other classes on size (Cymbidiums, Laeliinea) you need to judge size by experience.

19. Tolumnia Memoria Ralph Yagi ‘ Emperor’ Oncidium Twinkle ‘Red Fragrant’ (Formerly Oncidium Memoria Ralph Yagi) Oncidium Solar Landing ‘Hocking’ Oncidium Mexico ‘Shirley Bird’
