Masdevallia eurynogaster
Masdevallia eurynogaster is a small species from Ecuador and Peru. It is another of the Saltatrices group, with a belly-like bulge at the base of the flower and glandular hairs lining the inside of the sepaline tube. The colors on this species, however, are very different from the rest - not as boldly colored, but nevertheless very beautiful in its own way. The plant is 8 cm and the flowers very nearly that size. The name "eurynogaster" means "big-bellied."
