Description

Masdevallia maculata

Name: Masdevallia maculata Klotzsch & H. Karst.

Synonyms: Alaticaulia maculata (Klotzsch & H. Karst.) Luer; Masdevallia maculata f. flava; Masdevallia maculata var. flava

Etymology: The genus name Masdevallia honors José de Masdevall. The epithet maculata comes from Latin and means “spotted.”

First description: The species was described by Klotzsch and Hermann Karsten in 1847.

Origin / Habitat: Venezuela, Colombia, and Peru, in humid mountain forests at approximately 1100–2000 m. It grows predominantly epiphytically and prefers cool conditions.

Description & Notes: A small, compact-growing Masdevallia with individual flowers appearing successively on upright inflorescences. The flowers grow to about 3 cm. We cultivate it in bright to lightly shaded conditions, with high humidity, good air movement, and consistent moisture. We keep it cool, at around 12–20 °C.
