Masdevallia gomesii-ferreirae

Masdevallia gomesii-ferreirae was described by Pabst in 1975 in the Brazilian journal Bradea and honours the Brazilian orchidologist Gomes Ferreira, so it is most likely a Brazilian species; there are no wild records and no measured climate. Treat it as a shade-loving, humid-growing Masdevallia with intermediate temperatures until better information turns up.
