Masdevallia bourdetteana

Masdevallia bourdetteana Luer is an obscure Ecuadorian species with no wild GBIF records and no cultivation literature we could reach. The only climate point, shared with M. bicornis, lies at about 1215 m in extremely wet forest with mild days and nights of 15 to 18 C, so grow it as an intermediate, wet-growing Masdevallia.
