Masdevallia alismifolia

Masdevallia alismifolia Kraenzl. (1921) is a Colombian species known essentially from its original description, with no georeferenced wild records. The measured climate in the data comes from a lowland placeholder site and should be ignored; grow it as a cool-to-intermediate Andean cloud-forest Masdevallia.

Where it grows wild

Not recorded beyond Colombia. The epithet refers to leaves shaped like those of Alisma, a broad-bladed plant; assume an epiphyte of wet montane forest as for nearly all Colombian Masdevallia.

No elevation on record; Colombian Masdevallia are concentrated between about 1,500 and 3,000 m in the three cordilleras.
