Masdevallia andresiana

A little-known Masdevallia from Panama with no georeferenced wild records. The only climate available is from a lowland point that cannot represent a Masdevallia habitat, so grow it as an intermediate-to-cool Panamanian cloud-forest epiphyte with high humidity.

Where it grows wild

Panamanian Masdevallia grow as epiphytes in wet montane forest of the Cordillera Central (Chiriquí, Veraguas, Coclé), on mossy trunks in shade.

No recorded elevation; Panama's Masdevallia are mostly found between 1,000 and 2,200 m.
