Masdevallia lansbergii

Masdevallia lansbergii, described by Reichenbach in 1859, is a Venezuelan species of the coastal mountains. The most credible record is at about 1860 m in the Coastal Cordillera near Colonia Tovar, which points to an intermediate cloud-forest grower with a drier season early in the year.

Where it grows wild

Presumably an epiphyte of the cloud forest of Venezuela's Coastal Cordillera and the Paria peninsula, on mossy branches; no detailed habitat notes were found.

Records give 1864 m and 800 m in the coastal mountains; two others at 1 m and 114 m are almost certainly mislocated.
