Masdevallia dejonghei

A Peruvian Masdevallia first named by Luer and Sijm and raised to species rank by Shaw in 2014, known from a plant obtained near San Ignacio in Cajamarca, on the Ecuadorian border. The San Ignacio hills carry wet cloud forest at roughly 1,200–2,200 m, so this is a cool-intermediate grower; the lowland climate in the data does not apply, and little else is published.

Where it grows wild

Presumed epiphytic in wet montane cloud forest of the San Ignacio–Chinchipe region of northern Peru, on mossy trunks in shade. The single specimen came through a local collector, so the exact site and elevation are unknown.

No elevation recorded; the San Ignacio area's cloud forest lies at about 1,200–2,200 m.
