Masdevallia martineae

Masdevallia martineae is a Bolivian species described by Luer in 1997, with no georeferenced wild records. Bolivian Masdevallia are mostly epiphytes of the humid Yungas cloud forests, so it is treated as cool-to-intermediate growing; the lowland Santa Cruz proxy in the data does not apply.
