Masdevallia eburnea

Masdevallia eburnea is a Panamanian endemic described by Luer and Maduro, with no wild GBIF records and little published beyond its description. Panamanian Masdevallia grow in the wet highlands of Chiriqui, Bocas del Toro and Veraguas, so treat it as a cool-to-intermediate cloud-forest species; the lowland climate figures in the data are a country centroid and should be ignored.

Where it grows wild

Presumably an epiphyte of very wet montane cloud forest in the Panamanian cordillera, where nearly all the country's Masdevallia occur; the exact locality is not in the records.

No elevation recorded; Panamanian Masdevallia mostly grow between about 1200 and 2200 m.
