Masdevallia listroglossa

Masdevallia listroglossa is a little-known Peruvian endemic with no georeferenced wild records; the only climate point is a hot lowland centroid that does not fit any Masdevallia habitat. Treat it like other small Peruvian cloud-forest Masdevallia: shade, cool nights and constant moisture.

Where it grows wild

No habitat data was found; Peruvian Masdevallia are mostly small epiphytes on mossy trunks in eastern Andean cloud forest, and that is assumed here.

No recorded elevation; Peruvian members of the genus mostly grow between about 1,200 and 2,800 m.
