Masdevallia doucetteana

Masdevallia doucetteana is a recently described and very poorly documented species listed by Kew from Panama and Colombia, with no georeferenced wild records on GBIF. The measured climate is a lowland fallback and should not be trusted; grow it as an intermediate cloud-forest Masdevallia until better data appear.

Where it grows wild

Not documented; Masdevallias of Panama and adjacent Colombia are almost all epiphytes of wet montane cloud forest between about 800 and 2000 m.

No record carries an elevation; the two data-file sites at 45 m and 174 m are country fallback points, not collections.
