Masdevallia manarana

Masdevallia manarana Carnevali & I.Ramírez is a little-known Venezuelan species with no wild records in GBIF. Its authors worked mainly on the flora of the Venezuelan Guayana highlands, so treat it as an intermediate-to-cool montane Masdevallia rather than following the hot lowland climate in the data.
