Award Date: December 16, 2019
Awarded As: Maxillaria alpestris
The exhibitor originally presented the plant under the name Maxillaria alpestris and the plant was awarded under that name. However, after researches were made, the exhibitor believes this would be a Maxillaria bracteata (Réf. Maxillaria an unfinished monograph de Christenson. Field guide to the orchids of Costa Rica & Panama. )
The orchid was brought from Panama in 1954 as Maxillaria sp. and belongs since that time to the Montreal Botanical Garden collection.
