Curtis's Botanical Magazine - Plate 9376 Maxillaria fucata Family: ORCHIDACEAE • Tribe: KEROSPHAEREAE • Native Region: South America • Publication Date: October 1st, 1934 Distribution: Southern Chile, Western Patagonia. • Tab Author: A. D. COTTON. Botanical Description Maxillaria fucata was described in 1886 by the younger Reichenbach from a plant in the late Sir Trevor Lawrence's celebrated collection of orchids at Burford, Dorking. In 1895 a fine individual, bearing sixteen flowers, was exhibited at a meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society and received an Award of Merit. Three years later, Sir Trevor presented a specimen to the Glasnevin Botanic Gardens, Dublin, where it is still alive, and from this plant the accompanying plate was prepared in 1930. The picture may therefore be con- sidered a representation of the type plant, especially as there is no record of any other introduction of the species into this. About This Print Original black and white uncolored botanical print from Curtis's Botanical Magazine (established 1787). This 9000s series print is from unissued publisher stock, never hand-colored, representing the authentic plate as it appeared in the magazine.
