Masdevallia corinnea

Masdevallia corinnea Archila, Jimenez Rodr. & Veliz was described from Guatemala in 2015 and is known from almost nothing beyond that description; there are no georeferenced wild records. Treat it as a Central American cloud-forest Masdevallia of cool to intermediate mountain forest, not as the hot lowland plant the placeholder climate suggests.

Where it grows wild

Not documented for us. Guatemalan Masdevallias are small tufted epiphytes of wet montane and cloud forest, on mossy trunks and branches in the Verapaz and western highlands.

Unknown; the genus in Guatemala is found mainly between about 1200 and 2500 m.
