A robust and exceptionally free-flowering species from the Andean cloud forests, producing multiple tubular, bell-shaped blooms simultaneously on arching stems. The elongated, curved floral tubes open into a flared mouth with delicate short caudas, held gracefully at various angles above broad, glossy foliage — a spectacular display for a Masdevallia.
