Maxillaria parviflora, the purple tiger orchid, is a species of epiphytic orchid native to Florida, the West Indies and through Latin America from Mexico to Bolivia.
Recent molecular studies have suggested that Maxillaria should be split into several genera, with this species included in the genus Camaridium.
