Abstract:

Six species usually labeled in herbaria as Maxillaria neglecta (Schltr.) L. O. Williams are clearly determinable in Costa Rica and Panama. The new name, Maxillaria pseudoneglecta Atwood, is provided based on Ornithidium anceps Reichb. f. Study of type specimens reveal conflicts of synonymy as previously published. A key to the six species accepted (M. brevilabia, M. concavilabia, M. horichii, M. parviflora, M. neglecta, M. pseudoneglecta) is provided as well as drawings of representative flowers.
