A Ecuadorian species featuring flowers with distinctive Bulbophyllum-like characteristics and unusual morphology. Compact plants bloom successively, making this intermediate to cool-growing species particularly intriguing for collectors seeking rare Masdevallia with atypical flower structure.

• Light: Bright indirect light to partial shade. Protect from direct sunlight which can scorch leaves.
• Temperature: Intermediate to cool grower. Daytime 64-77°F (18-25°C), nighttime 54-64°F (12-18°C). Tolerates slightly warmer conditions than strict cool growers.
• Humidity: 70-85% with excellent air circulation. Good air movement is critical to prevent fungal and bacterial issues.
• Watering: Keep media consistently moist throughout the year. Water every 2-3 days depending on conditions, using pure water with low mineral content.

Additional Notes

Native to Ecuadorian cloud forests, it adapts well to intermediate to cool conditions. Best grown mounted on tree fern or cork bark, or in small pots with fine-grade bark mix or sphagnum moss.
