Heterotaxis sessilis is an epiphytic orchid widespread across the West Indies (Cuba, Hispaniola, Jamaica, Trinidad), Central America (all 7 countries), southern Mexico (Chiapas, Veracruz, Oaxaca, Quintana Roo), Florida and northern South America (Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, northern Brazil , Venezuela, the Guianas).[2][3][4][5][6] Hidden orchid is a common name.[7]

The species was long called by the synonym Maxillaria crassifolia but recent molecular studies have indicated that Maxillaria should be split into several genera.[8]
