Maxillaria convencionis

Maxillaria convencionis was described by Kraenzlin in 1920 and is known only from Colombia; the epithet probably refers to the Convención area of the Andes in Norte de Santander. There are no georeferenced wild records, and the only climate point is a hot lowland site in the Llanos that probably doesn't represent it. Grow it intermediate and humid, and treat every figure as provisional.

Where it grows wild

Probably humid premontane or montane Andean forest, growing as an epiphyte like most of the genus. No habitat information is available.

No recorded elevations. The climate point is at about 170 m, but an Andean origin would place it far higher, perhaps 1,000-2,000 m.
