Masdevallia amsleri

Masdevallia amsleri was described as Alaticaulia amsleri by Luer and Jenny and returned to Masdevallia by Pfahl in 2014; it is an Ecuadorian endemic known from very few plants. Alaticaulia species are typically tall-stemmed, single-flowered cloud forest epiphytes, and this profile assumes those cool to intermediate conditions.

Where it grows wild

Presumed epiphyte in montane cloud forest of the Ecuadorian Andes, as for its relatives in the former genus Alaticaulia; the type locality is not available to this profile.

No record carries an elevation; the genus in Ecuador is concentrated between about 1,200 and 2,800 m in cloud forest, and the profile assumes that band.
