Masdevallia calagrasalis

Masdevallia calagrasalis is an obscure small Ecuadorian species described by Luer in 1985 and known from few collections; nothing is published on its culture. Grow it as an intermediate cloud-forest Masdevallia: mild days, a night drop into the low teens, high humidity and moving air.

Where it grows wild

Undocumented in the data; presumably a small epiphyte on mossy branches in humid Andean forest, like most small Ecuadorian Masdevallia.

No record carries an elevation; the climate below is for a country-centroid grid point at 1215 m in Ecuador, and the actual locality is unknown here.
