The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: Belize, Costa Rica, Honduras, Mexico, and Guatemala. This
relatively common, widespread species was first found in Mexico in the
state of Vera Cruz. It is the most northerly occurring member of the genus
and is the only known species of Masdevallia in Mexico. Throughout their
range of distribution, plants grow on the slopes facing the Gulf of Mexico
and Caribbean, usually at 1300-3950 ft. (400-1200 m). In Costa Rica,
however, plants were collected at Agua Caliente at 5900 ft. (1800 m).
