Maxillaria-alpestris-2019-12-01***Now determined to be Maxillaria bracteata (Schltr.) Ames & Correll (Dec 2020), not Maxillaria alpestris; with new information and additional photos showing the inflorescence and bracts, this plant, which was collected in Panama, matches the description and endemic location of M. bracteata; based on Eric Christenson's book on Maxillaria, M. bracteata is within a broadly defined group which includes M. bracteata, M. imbricata and M. carinata, among others; this may be part of a collection of regional variants of a single broad species; the group requires future study to better define the species of this "swarm".***
