Masdevallia oxapampaensis

Masdevallia oxapampaensis is a Peruvian species described by Bennett and Christenson in 2001 and, as its name says, comes from the Oxapampa area of Pasco on the eastern Andean slope. With no georeferenced records, the climate point is Amazonian lowland and misleading; Oxapampa's montane forests at roughly 1,800 to 2,500 m are the better guide.

Where it grows wild

Presumably an epiphyte of montane cloud forest around Oxapampa in central Peru; no species-specific habitat notes were available.

No recorded elevations; the town of Oxapampa lies at about 1,800 m and the surrounding forests rise well above it, not the 270 m of the climate point.
