  1. genus maxillaria

    Genus Maxillaria is a diverse group of orchids that includes over 300 species, found on tropical mountains throughout Central and South America and the West Indies. These plants have thick, leathery leaves and small to medium-sized flowers that bloom throughout the year with various colors. Maxillaria species are epiphytes, which means they grow on other plants, usually trees, without harming them. They are named after the Latin word 'maxillaris' which refers to the jawbone, due to the resemblance of the flower parts to insect jaws.
