Maxillaria aureoglobula

A small, little-documented Maxillaria orchid recorded from Costa Rica, Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil. Grow it as a warm-to-intermediate epiphyte in humid, wet forest. Little has been published on its conditions, so this profile is built from the few records and from the genus.

Probably an epiphyte in humid lowland to lower montane forest, like most small Maxillaria. This is not documented for the species.

Only a few records carry elevations. The climate sites lie at roughly 50–1,500 m.
