Gomesa imperatoris-maximilianiGomesa imperatoris-maximiliani is a species of orchid endemic to eastern and southern Brazil.TaxonomyThe species was first described as Oncidium crispum by John Lindley in 1833 with the name attributed to George Loddiges. Independently, in 1866, Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach described Oncidium imperatoris-maximiliani. The two were later synonymized and in 2009 transferred to the genus Gomesa along with other South American Oncidium species. As the name Gomesa crispa was already occupied, the newer epithet imperatoris-maximiliani was used.
