Ornithidium, is genus of orchids (family Orchidaceae). Its members are native to the West Indies and to Latin America from southern Mexico to Bolivia.[1]
Ornithidium has often been included in the larger genus Maxillaria but recent molecular studies have found Maxillaria as it has long been viewed to be a unnatural hodgepodge composed of groups not closely related to each. Hence it has been proposed that the genus should be split into several genera, proposals that have been gaining acceptance.[2][3]
