Ornithidium donaldeedodii is a species of orchid discovered in April 2010 when DNA analysis showed that a wrongly labeled orchid at the University of California Botanical Garden in Berkeley California was actually a distinct new species. The new orchid which had been mislabeled as Maxillaria croceorubens since the 1990s was named after orchidologist Donald D. Dod (1912–2008) who collected the specimen in the 1980s in Haiti.
