SITF has determined this plant not to be Masdevallia caudata, but an unknown hybrid most likely with M. caudata, possibly like Masdevallia Spring Pepper or similar. A photo from Ecuagenera's website that is listed as M. caudata 'Gigi' looks like a very dark M. caudata, but this award does not look like the Ecuagenera photo of 'Gigi'. This plant does not match any of the recognized forms of M. caudata or former species recently reduced to synonymy for M. caudata. It is likely an unknown hybrid.
