Masdevallia ligiae

Masdevallia ×ligiae is a natural hybrid described from Colombia by Luer and Escobar in 1982, known from little beyond its description. Like its Colombian Andean parents it should be grown cool to intermediate, shaded, humid and airy; the climate in the data is from a lowland fallback point and does not apply.

Where it grows wild

Presumably an epiphyte of humid Andean montane or cloud forest, on mossy branches in bright shade, like the Masdevallia species it derives from; no habitat data specific to it were found.

No elevation is recorded; the climate site is a fallback point at 174 m in the Llanos of Meta, far below the montane forest (mostly 1500 to 3000 m) where Colombian Masdevallia grow.
