Masdevallia deburghgraevei

A recently described Peruvian Masdevallia (Luer and Sijm, 2012), known from cultivated plants of Peruvian origin rather than from field collections; no wild locality or elevation has been published. It should be grown as a cool to intermediate cloud-forest Masdevallia until better information appears, and the lowland climate figures in the data do not apply.

Where it grows wild

Unknown in the wild. Peruvian Masdevallias of this group are epiphytes of wet montane cloud forest between roughly 1,500 and 2,500 m on the eastern Andean slope; that is the working assumption here.

No elevation is recorded; assumed mid-elevation cloud forest, about 1,500–2,500 m.
