Masdevallia eucharis

Masdevallia eucharis is a small Ecuadorian species described by Luer in 1991, known from the mountains of Loja province in the far south at about 1800 m. It is a cool-growing cloud-forest orchid for a terrarium or cool greenhouse, with a reliable night drop and high humidity; little else beyond the original description has been published.

Where it grows wild

Montane forest on the southern Ecuadorian Andes, where the wild records sit at around 1800 m; expect it as a small epiphyte on mossy trunks and branches in shaded, humid forest.

Recorded around 1800 m; the two known records carry no elevation, so this comes from the collecting sites.
