Masdevallia lynniana

Masdevallia lynniana is an Ecuadorian species described by Luer in 2004. No wild records exist; the climate site on the eastern Andean slope at about 1200 m suggests an intermediate grower, and the profile treats it as a humid, shaded cloud-forest epiphyte with moderate nights.
