Maxillaria croceorubens

A Hispaniolan Maxillaria with no georeferenced wild records, so its exact habitat is uncertain. Treat it as a warm-intermediate epiphyte of humid upland forest: bright filtered light, high humidity and moisture all year, with a slightly drier winter.

Where it grows wild

No habitat data is available for this species. Hispaniolan Maxillaria are mostly epiphytes of humid mid-elevation forest, and this profile assumes the same.

Unknown; the climate points are region centroids at about 280 and 720 m, and the species may come from cooler, higher forest.
