Masdevallia ludibundella

Masdevallia ludibundella is a small Colombian species described by Luer and Escobar in 1995; its name marks it as a diminutive counterpart of Masdevallia ludibunda. There are no georeferenced wild records, so this profile follows what is known for Colombian cloud-forest Masdevallia: cool, shaded, constantly moist and humid.

Where it grows wild

Kew records it only from Colombia; it is presumed to be a small epiphyte on mossy branches in humid montane cloud forest like its relatives. Species-specific habitat details were not available.

No recorded elevation; most Colombian Masdevallia grow between about 1500 and 3000 m, and the lowland climate site in the data does not reflect that.
