Maianthemum salvinii is a rare, epiphytic perennial herb from southern Mexico and Guatemala, growing up to about 1 m tall from rhizomes. It is a wild species with little cultivation history, so care advice is limited.
Maianthemum salvinii is a rare perennial, epiphytic herb found in southern Mexico and Guatemala.
The distribution of Maianthemum salvinii is not well documented, but is reported from Guatemala and southeast Mexico. It is thought to be rare. The site in Guatemala that it was found has been developed, so is unlikely to have persisted there. It has also been documented adjacent to Guatemala, in the mountainous Tacaná-Boquerón region of Chiapas, Mexico.
