Maxillaria connellii
Maxillaria connellii was described by Rolfe in 1901 in the botanical account of the Mount Roraima expeditions, and Kew places it in the Guayana Highlands of Venezuela, Guyana and northern Brazil. There are no georeferenced wild records, and the measured climate is from hot lowland points that probably don't reflect a tepui-slope orchid. Grow it intermediate-to-cool and humid, and treat every figure as provisional.
Where it grows wild
Probably the wet, cloudy forests and scrub of the Roraima tepui region, where many epiphytic and lithophytic orchids grow on mossy trees and rocks. Its exact habit and microhabitat are not documented here.
No recorded elevations. The publication points to the Roraima area, where collections came from roughly 1,000 to 2,800 m; the climate points used here are at 30-300 m.
