Masdevallia copiosa

Masdevallia copiosa was described by Kraenzlin in 1922 from Colombia and has essentially no public habitat data: no GBIF occurrence records and no locality beyond the country. The climate site in the data was placed at 174 m in the eastern lowlands, which is not where a Masdevallia grows. The conditions below are for a generic Colombian Andean cloud-forest Masdevallia and should be adjusted to how the plant responds.

Where it grows wild

Nothing is published on its habitat. Colombian Masdevallias grow almost entirely as epiphytes in moss on trunks and branches in wet Andean cloud forest between about 1,500 and 2,800 m.

No recorded elevation. The climate site at 174 m is a country-outline placeholder and does not represent the species.
