Masdevallia jaderi

Masdevallia jaderi is an obscure Colombian species described by Uribe and Bogarín in 2016 (Orquideología 33), known from little more than its original description. Nothing is published on its ecology beyond the description; grow it as an intermediate Andean cloud-forest Masdevallia and ignore the lowland climate in the data.

Where it grows wild

Presumably an epiphyte of humid Andean montane or cloud forest, on mossy trunks and branches in bright shade, like most of the genus; no habitat data specific to this species were found.

No elevation is recorded; the climate site is a single fallback point at 174 m in the Meta lowlands east of the Andes, not a Masdevallia habitat. Colombian Masdevallia species are mostly montane, 1200 to 3000 m.
