Maxillaria condorensis

Maxillaria condorensis was described by J.T. Atwood in 2003 and is known only from Ecuador; its name points to the Cordillera del Cóndor on the Peruvian border. There are no georeferenced wild records, so its conditions are inferred from a regional climate point and from the humid montane forests of that range. Treat every figure here as a starting point to adjust from.

Where it grows wild

Probably humid montane forest of the Cordillera del Cóndor, a sandstone range on the Amazonian side of the Andes known for many endemic orchids. The growth habit is assumed epiphytic, like most of the genus.

No recorded elevations. The single climate point is at about 1,200 m; Cordillera del Cóndor forests run from roughly 1,000 to over 2,500 m.
