Oncidium ochmatochilum, award 20098310, has been confirmed to be Cyrtochiloides ochmatochila by SITF(June 2010), with assistance of Willibald Königer. Königer feels this plant is actually Oncidium cardiochilum/ Cyrtochiloides cardiochila, a distinct species from C. ochmatochila, but the Kew system has them as synonyms.
