Restrepia is a genus of plants in the Orchid family closely related to Pleurothallis and concists of nearly 50 species primarily in the Andes with some into Central America.
Named in honor of Don Jose Restrepo, they tend to be more showy than most other Pleurothallids.

 Restrepia
Restrepia (reh-STREP-ee-ah) has been one of the genera most confusing to botanists for many years.
In fact, it is possible to grow plants from the axils of leaf cuttings.
In cultivation, Restrepias seem to handle brighter light, drier conditions and warmer temperatures than most other Pleurothallids.

Plants spend the summers outdoors in a shady spot with most species able to thrive in Michigan's climate without additional cooling.
Restrepias are especially hardy and are able to withstand extremes in temperature when supplied with adequate moisture.
For the following list of species, I made an attempt to present the species names according to the taxonomic scheme advocated by Luer (1986a, 1986b, 1988, 1989, 1992, 1996a, 1996b).

Found in Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia and Colombia in wet montane forests as a cool to cold growing epiphyte at elevations of 1180 to 3200 meters where it blooms on a terminal, erect, threadlike, to 5" long, single flowered inflorescence that has sheathed bracts on the ramicaul, occuring in the winter and spring.
A single pickled flower from of a batch of Restrepia blooms sent to me by Dr Geoff Stocker, proved to be this species, it was however apparently of Peruvian origin.
There are about 18 species in this genus, vegatatively related to Restrepia but characterized by solitary, membranous flowers basically simmilar to Octomeria and Pleurothallis except for the number of pollina which is four.

There are about 18 species in this genus spread from Central America to Bolivia and Venezuela, vegatatively related to Restrepia but characterized by solitary, membranous flowers basically simmilar to Octomeria and Pleurothallis except for the number of pollina which is four.
The imbricating sheaths enclose the successively single flowered inflorescence as in Restrepia and arises laterally near the apex of the ramicaul without an annulus.
The lateral sepals are usually free but at times connect and the lip usually has a pair of basal lobes similar to those in Octomeria with a wingless, slender column with no apical teeth holding an exposed, subapical anther.

This account of the genus Restrepia is the thirteenth in an Icones series of a high standard, particularly in its presentation and quality.
Restrepia is a well-known genus to orchid growers, many collections having the occasional plant or two, usually misnamed as Restrepia antennifera.
They flower regularly and generously and can form specimen plants without too much attention from the grower.

tim the first looks like Restrepia antennifera and the second is an oncidium,could you post a pic of the leaves and pseudobulbs if it has any
I agree with Spiderman on both plants, the first one is definitely from the genus Restrepia, either antennifera, brachypus (syn.
The second one looks like it belongs to the genus Oncidium, especially the ones that also are known as Tolumnia (equitant oncidiums).
