he first description of Oncidium varicosum, published by Linp.ey in 1837, 
was taken from some dried specimens gathered in Brazil by Prince 
Maximitien DE Wiep-Neuwiep, who travelled over this country from 
1815 to 1817. The German traveller, Frepsric SELLow, who died in Brazil 
in 1831, when on a long and fruitful exploration that he had undertaken in 
this region since the year 1814, also gathered some very fine specimens in the 
province of Saint-Paul, in the spring of the year 1829, but which were only 
examined a long time after.
