Masdevallia burzlaffiana

Masdevallia burzlaffiana is a small, rarely seen Masdevallia endemic to Guatemala, known from very few collections and with no wild records carrying coordinates. Guatemalan Masdevallia are plants of cool, wet montane cloud forest, so treat it as an intermediate-to-cool grower with high humidity and moving air rather than the hot lowland climate the data grid returns.

Where it grows wild

Not documented beyond the country; by analogy with the other Guatemalan species it is a small epiphyte on mossy trunks and branches in humid montane forest.

No record carries an elevation; the single climate site sits at 353 m on a country-centroid grid point, which is far below the 1200-2200 m band where Guatemalan Masdevallia grow.
