Where it grows wild

No habitat detail is published for this name. Colombian Masdevallias described by Ortiz are almost all small tufted epiphytes of mossy montane cloud forest in the three cordilleras.

Unknown; the genus in Colombia is concentrated between about 1500 and 3000 m. The single climate site in the data sits at 174 m in the Llanos foothills and is unlikely to be the real habitat.
