Masdevallia gloriae

Masdevallia gloriae is a Panamanian species described by Luer and Maduro in 2003, with no wild records in GBIF and essentially no published ecology. Growers should treat it like other Panamanian cloud-forest Masdevallia: shade, cool-intermediate temperatures and constant humidity.

Where it grows wild

No habitat detail is available for this species; like nearly all Masdevallia it is assumed to be a small epiphyte of humid montane cloud forest.

Elevation unknown here; the genus in Panama mostly grows between about 1000 and 3000 m.
