Masdevallia marizae

Masdevallia marizae is a Peruvian species described by Luer and Rolando in 2000, with no georeferenced wild records. Peruvian Masdevallia are almost all Andean cloud-forest epiphytes, so it is treated here as intermediate-to-cool growing; the lowland climate proxy in the data does not apply.
