Maxillaria cuneiformis

A Peruvian Maxillaria with no georeferenced wild records in GBIF, so nothing specific is known about its habitat. Most Peruvian Maxillaria grow as epiphytes on the humid eastern Andean slopes, so intermediate, humid, shaded conditions are the best starting assumption. Every value here is a genus-level estimate.

Unknown. The climate site is a point in central Peru at 273 m, not a collection locality.
