Maxillaria erubescens

A poorly documented Colombian Maxillaria with no georeferenced wild records, so its real habitat and elevation are unknown. The measured climate comes from a lowland point in the Llanos and is probably not where it grows; grow it as a typical intermediate Andean Maxillaria until better data appear.

Where it grows wild

No habitat data found; most Colombian Maxillaria are epiphytes of humid premontane and montane forest, and this profile assumes the same.

Unknown; no record carries an elevation. Most Colombian species of the genus grow between 1,000 and 2,500 m.
