Masdevallia phlogina

Masdevallia phlogina is a Peruvian species described by Luer in 1993 and known from very little material; GBIF holds no wild records. The measured climate comes from a lowland point chosen only from the country and does not describe the plant's habitat, so grow it as a typical cool-to-intermediate Andean Masdevallia.

Where it grows wild

No habitat details are published that we could reach; like nearly all of the genus it is presumed a small epiphyte of humid, mossy Andean cloud forest.

Unknown; Peruvian Masdevallia mostly grow between about 1500 and 3000 m. The 273 m climate point is a country-level placeholder, not a collection site.
