[OGD] Maxillaria buchtienii

Since AOS bases its taxonomical calls on the World Checklist of the Monocotyledons kept by Kew, then your species is indeed Maxilaria splendens and not Maxillaria buchtienii. ( It seems that in this case the determination by Kew was made based on the Nomenclatural rule of priority.) Thi

The Rolfe entity does not have priority.  As a matter of fact, if one accepts Kew as the arbiter for species nomenclature ( as the AOS does), Rolfe's Cirrhopetalum miniatum cannot be transfered to Bulbophyllum ( the Kew accepted generic concept ) since there is a 1904 publication for a Bulbo
