Aroma compound
An aroma compound, also known as an odorant, aroma, fragrance or flavoring, is a chemical compound that has a smell or odor.
See Maxillaria and Aroma compound
Bolivia
Bolivia, officially the Plurinational State of Bolivia, is a landlocked country located in western-central South America.
Callus
A callus (calluses) is an area of thickened and sometimes hardened skin that forms as a response to repeated friction, pressure, or other irritation.
Circumscription (taxonomy)
In biological taxonomy, circumscription is the content of a taxon, that is, the delimitation of which subordinate taxa are parts of that taxon.
See Maxillaria and Circumscription (taxonomy)
Column (botany)
The column, or technically the gynostemium, is a reproductive structure that can be found in several plant families: Aristolochiaceae, Orchidaceae, and Stylidiaceae.
See Maxillaria and Column (botany)
Epiphyte
An epiphyte is a plant or plant-like organism that grows on the surface of another plant and derives its moisture and nutrients from the air, rain, water (in marine environments) or from debris accumulating around it.
Flower
A flower, also known as a bloom or blossom, is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants (plants of the division Angiospermae).
Genus
Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.
Glossary of leaf morphology
The following terms are used to describe leaf morphology in the description and taxonomy of plants.
See Maxillaria and Glossary of leaf morphology
Hipólito Ruiz López
Hipólito Ruiz López (August 8, 1754 in Belorado, Burgos, Spain – 1816 in Madrid), or Hipólito Ruiz, was a Spanish botanist known for researching the floras of Peru and Chile during an expedition under Carlos III from 1777 to 1788.
See Maxillaria and Hipólito Ruiz López
Horticulture
Horticulture is the art and science of growing plants.
See Maxillaria and Horticulture
José Antonio Pavón Jiménez
José Antonio Pavón Jiménez or José Antonio Pavón (April 22, 1754 in Casatejada, Cáceres, Spain – 1840 in Madrid) was a Spanish botanist known for researching the flora of Peru and Chile.
See Maxillaria and José Antonio Pavón Jiménez
Labellum (botany)
In botany, the labellum (or lip) is the part of the flower of an orchid or Canna, or other less-known genera, that serves to attract insects, which pollinate the flower, and acts as a landing platform for them.
See Maxillaria and Labellum (botany)
Latin
Latin (lingua Latina,, or Latinum) is a classical language belonging to the Italic branch of the Indo-European languages.
Latin America
Latin America often refers to the regions in the Americas in which Romance languages are the main languages and the culture and Empires of its peoples have had significant historical, ethnic, linguistic, and cultural impact.
See Maxillaria and Latin America
Leaf
A leaf (leaves) is a principal appendage of the stem of a vascular plant, usually borne laterally aboveground and specialized for photosynthesis.
Lip
The lips are a horizontal pair of soft appendages attached to the jaws and are the most visible part of the mouth of many animals, including humans.
List of Maxillaria species
There are about 650 species of Maxillaria.
See Maxillaria and List of Maxillaria species
List of taxa named by Ruiz and Pavón
Hipólito Ruiz López and José Antonio Pavón Jiménez are jointly cited as the authors of many botanical names.
See Maxillaria and List of taxa named by Ruiz and Pavón
Lithophyte
Lithophytes are plants that grow in or on rocks.
Maxilla
In vertebrates, the maxilla (maxillae) is the upper fixed (not fixed in Neopterygii) bone of the jaw formed from the fusion of two maxillary bones.
Maxillaria tenuifolia
Maxillaria tenuifolia, the delicate-leafed maxillaria or coconut pie orchid, is a species of orchid ranging from Mexico to Nicaragua and possibly Costa Rica.
See Maxillaria and Maxillaria tenuifolia
Maxillariinae
Maxillariinae is an orchid subtribe in the tribe Cymbidieae.
See Maxillaria and Maxillariinae
Mexico
Mexico, officially the United Mexican States, is a country in the southern portion of North America.
Molecular phylogenetics
Molecular phylogenetics is the branch of phylogeny that analyzes genetic, hereditary molecular differences, predominantly in DNA sequences, to gain information on an organism's evolutionary relationships.
See Maxillaria and Molecular phylogenetics
Morphology (biology)
Morphology in biology is the study of the form and structure of organisms and their specific structural features.
See Maxillaria and Morphology (biology)
Orchid
Orchids are plants that belong to the family Orchidaceae, a diverse and widespread group of flowering plants with blooms that are often colourful and fragrant.
Petal
Petals are modified leaves that surround the reproductive parts of flowers.
Plants of the World Online
Plants of the World Online (POWO) is an online database published by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
See Maxillaria and Plants of the World Online
Polyphyly
A polyphyletic group is an assemblage that includes organisms with mixed evolutionary origin but does not include their most recent common ancestor.
Pseudobulb
The pseudobulb is a storage organ found in many epiphytic and terrestrial sympodial orchids.
Rainforest
Rainforests are forests characterized by a closed and continuous tree canopy, moisture-dependent vegetation, the presence of epiphytes and lianas and the absence of wildfire.
Rhizome
In botany and dendrology, a rhizome is a modified subterranean plant stem that sends out roots and shoots from its nodes. Rhizomes are also called creeping rootstalks or just rootstalks. Rhizomes develop from axillary buds and grow horizontally. The rhizome also retains the ability to allow new shoots to grow upwards.
Scape (botany)
In botany, a scape is a peduncle arising from a subterranean or very compressed stem, with the lower internodes very long and hence few or no bracts except the part near the rachis or receptacle.
See Maxillaria and Scape (botany)
Sepal
A sepal is a part of the flower of angiosperms (flowering plants).
Species
A species (species) is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction.
Synonym (taxonomy)
The Botanical and Zoological Codes of nomenclature treat the concept of synonymy differently.
See Maxillaria and Synonym (taxonomy)
Terrestrial plant
A terrestrial plant is a plant that grows on, in, or from land.
See Maxillaria and Terrestrial plant
Trichome
Trichomes are fine outgrowths or appendages on plants, algae, lichens, and certain protists.
Velamen
The velamen or velamen radicum ("covering of the roots" in Latin) is a spongy, multiple epidermis that covers the roots of some epiphytic or semi-epiphytic plants, such as orchid and Clivia species.
West Indies
The West Indies is a subregion of North America, surrounded by the North Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, which comprises 13 independent island countries and 19 dependencies in three archipelagos: the Greater Antilles, the Lesser Antilles, and the Lucayan Archipelago.
