Masdevallia murex Dresslerella recurved lateral sepals of arachnitesA robust epiphyte native to the cloud forests of Ecuador, notable for its basal flowering habit blooms emerge directly at the base of the plant among the leaves rather than on upright scapes. The triangular, open sepals taper into short, rigid tails and display bold longitudinal striations, with a small, dark, globose lip that contrasts sharply with the rest of the flower. Light: 7080% shade cloth; avoid direct midday sun. Bright, diffused light
