Masdevallia bryophila

Masdevallia bryophila Luer (1996) is a little-documented Perun species with no wild GBIF records. Treat it as a cool-to-intermediate Andean cloud-forest grower like its relatives; the hot lowland climate attached to the data is a country placeholder and should be ignored.

Where it grows wild

Presumed a small tufted epiphyte of humid montane forest, and the epithet, meaning moss-loving, points to a mossy cloud-forest perch on the eastern Andean slope; no species-specific habitat notes are available to us.

Unknown; likely 1800 to 3000 m. The climate site in the data is a lowland placeholder at 273 m and does not represent this plant.
