Masdevallia lilianae

Masdevallia lilianae is a Peruvian Masdevallia described by Luer in 1991 and known from little beyond its original description. With no georeferenced records, it is best grown like other Peruvian cloud-forest Masdevallia: intermediate, shaded, humid and airy.

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 fallback point at 273 m in the Huánuco lowlands, far below the montane forest (mostly 1500 to 3000 m) where Peruvian Masdevallia grow.
