Orchidaceae Maxillaria Colombia Peru new taxa biodiversity

Abstract

Nine new species of Maxillaria from Peru are described and illustrated, one based on a previously published variety: M. canarina, M. coniformis, M. deniseae, M. dichaeoides, M. flabellata, M. hajekii, M. leucopurpurea, M. striolata, and M. visseri. In addition, the new name M. calendulina is proposed for the Colombian M. aurantiaca Schlechter (1924: 87).
