Masdevallia ventricosa Chionanthus Each bloom features broad sepalsNamed for the swollen, convex form of its floral tube as the epithet ventricosa suggests this intermediate growing species from Ecuador presents a distinctive structural character within the genus. Its compact habit and well defined floral form make it a rewarding species for collectors interested in the morphological breadth of Masdevallias. Light: Grow under 5070% shade cloth; direct sun causes rapid damage to its fine foliage and must be avoided.
