Maxillaria consists of about four hundred evergreen species of the orchid family, including Maxillaria conferta. The name is derived from the Latin maxilla, or jaw, because of the jaw-like flowers common to the group. These orchids are chiefly tree-perchers, like their cousins Epidendrum, and, occasionally, these delicate flowering plants can even be found perching on rocks.
