Maxillaria deuterocaquetana

A Colombian Maxillaria described by Ortiz in 1991, apparently named for Caquetá on the Amazonian side of the Andes. With no georeferenced wild records, its habitat is uncertain; the one measured site is hot, humid lowland with a short drier spell in January and February.

Where it grows wild

No habitat details are available in accessible sources; by the genus and region it is most likely an epiphyte of humid forest in the Andean-Amazonian foothills.

No wild record carries an elevation; the measured site is lowland-warm, but the species could grow higher on the foothills.
