Masdevallia karelii Lockhartia while the surface is densely

while the surface is densely textured — almost leathery in appearance

lance-shaped leaves with raised ribbed veins that form textured patterns on glossy green surfaces

Each bloom features an erect triangular dorsal sepal

pendulous lateral sepals that taper into slender lanceolate tails

as intense direct sunlight can scorch its leaves
