Epidendrum compressum is a species of orchid in the genus Epidendrum from wet montane forests of Trinidad, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia.
Epidendrum difforme is a species of orchid in the genus Epidendrum. In 1861, Müller classified this species in the subsection Umbellata of the section Planifolia of subgenus EuepidendrumLindl. of the genus Epidendrum.
Epidendrum macrocarpum, widely known as Epidendrum schomburgkii, is a species of orchid in the genus Epidendrum, and the largest-flowering crucifix orchid species. Reichenbach thought that E. fulgens and E. schomburgkii var. confluens were both synonyms for this species.
Epidendrum microphyllum is a species of tropical orchid in the genus Epidendrum with non-resupinate flowers.
Epidendrum paniculatum is a species of orchid in the genus Epidendrum.
Epidendrum pseudepidendrum is a species of orchid native to Costa Rica and Panama. The upright canes, which can reach 5 ft., bear paniculate inflorescences which can re-bloom for several years. According to Reichenbach, the strange name is the result of first being named Pseudepidendrum spectabile, before being moved to Epidendrum.
Epidendrum verrucosum is a species of Epidendrum orchid that was described by Schwartz in 1806. In 1861, Reichenbach placed it in subsection Euepidendrum Planifolia Paniculata of the genus Epidendrum.
Encyclia ambigua is a species of orchid.
Encyclia diurna is a species of orchid.
Epidendrum ibaguense is a species of epiphytic orchid of the genus Epidendrum which occurs in Trinidad, French Guyana, Venezuela, Colombia and Northern Brazil.
Epidendrum campestre, the savannah epidendrum, is a rupicolous, sympodial orchid of the genus Epidendrum, with claviculate pseudobulbs up to 10 cm (3.9 in) tall, which bear three narrow leathery linear-lanceolate leaves up to 10 cm (3.9 in) in length. The inflorescence arises from the apex of the pseudobulb, and bears up to ten flowers in the spring. The flowers are 1 cm (0.39 in) in diameter, with lilac-pink perianth segments: the lateral sepals are falcate. The tetralobate lip is adnate to the column to its end, lacks any fringe whatsoever, and has a white callus.
Epidendrum subsect. UmbellataRchb.f. (1861) is a subsection of section E. sect. PlanifoliaRchb.f. (1861) of subgenus E. subg. EpidendrumLindl. (1841) of the genus Epidendrum of the Orchidaceae. Plants of E. subsect. Umbellata differ from the other subsections of E. sect. Planifolia by producing inflorescences which are umbel-like. In 1861, Reichenbach recognized ten species in this subsection. Of these, nine are recognized with the same names by Kew :
The section Epidendrum sect. Planifolia of the subgenus E. subg. EpidendrumLindl. 1841 of the genus Epidendrum of the Orchidaceae was published in 1861 by Reichenbach It differs from the other three sections by having flat leaves. Like the other sections of E. subg. Epidendrum, the inflorescence grows from the apex of the stem, and bears no spathe or sheath at the base of the peduncle.
Epidendrum sect. Holochila Rchb.f. 1861 is a section of subgenus Epidendrum subg. Amphiglottium of the Orchidaceae. It differs from section E. sect. Polycladia by bearing inflorescences that are racemes, not panicles. It differs from section E. sect. Schistochila by having a lip with no lobes. Like the other sections of E. subg. Amphiglottium, plants of E. sect. Holochila exhibit slender stems covered with close imbricating sheaths which do not swell to form pseudobulbs, and terminal inflorescences covered at the base with close imbricating sheaths but without spathes.
The subgenus Epidendrum subg. Epidendrum was published as "Euepidendrum" in 1841 with the diagnosis "Caulis foliosus. Pedunculus brevis esquamatus. Labellum adnatum." This reed-stemmed genus includes sympodial Epidendrum plants with stems covered with imbricating sheaths which show no tendency to swell into pseudobulbs, and with terminal inflorescences which lack any sheath or spathe at the base.
Epidendrum sculptum is a sympodial, epiphytic reed-stemmed orchid native to the Neotropics from Chiapas Mexico to Brazil, at altitudes ranging from near sea level to 0.5 km.
The section Epidendrum sect. EquitantiaRchb.f. 1861 of the subgenus E. subg. EpidendrumLindl. 1841 of the genus Epidendrum of the Orchidaceae was published in 1861 by Reichenbach with the notation
Epidendrum parviflorum is a small-flowered reed-stemmed Epidendrum orchid found in the montane tropical wet forests of Bolivia, Ecuador, and Amazonas, Peru.
Epidendrum tridens is a terrestrial orchid closely allied to E. nocturnum, of which it has often been considered a variety or synonym. For example, Reichenbach 1861 lists Epidendrum tridens(Poepp. & Endl.) Cogn. (1898) as a synonym of Epidendrum nocturnum and Epidendrum nocturnum var. latifoliumLindl. (1837) as a distinguishable variety of Epidendrum nocturnum.
Epidendrum alpicolum, often called Epidendrum alpicola, is a tropical orchid native to Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela at altitudes from 1.8—2.7 km
