Jerry Oncidium Imperatoris-maximiliani watercolor in Pabsts is just a drawing of what might be the looking of Reichenbach's description. Pabst never saw that plant. Apparently description was based on reports of color and not in a living plant. Last year Campacci saw the exsicata in Wien and finally we could get rid of this illusive description. This color is a mistake and the plant described by Reichenbach is just an ordinary Oncidium (now Brasilidium) crispum. There is no pink Oncidium in Brazil that I know of and, for sure, none in Rio de Janeiro.
