Maxillaria crassifolia, synonyms including 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]

Some molecular studies have suggested that Maxillaria should be split into several genera, with this species moved to Heterotaxis,[8] but (As of August 2023), Plants of the World Online treats Heterotaxis as a synonym of Maxillaria.[9]
