Maxillaria deherae

A Peruvian Maxillaria described in 2015 and known from almost no wild records, so its habitat is essentially undocumented. The only measured site is hot and seasonally dry, which is unusual for the genus and may not represent where it actually grows; treat the targets below as a cautious intermediate starting point.
