to through LATE

Common Name The Toothed Epidendrum

Flower Size

Found in Brazil in full sun where it is quite commonly found from Pernambuco to Rio Grande do Sul State and I suppose even in Uruguay at elevations of 1000 meters in dry scrub as a terrestrial with cane-like stems carrying 10 to 16, thick, leathery leaves and blooms from the winter through late summer on an apical, many flowered inflorescence with color variable flowers. As most of the Epidendrums of Amphyglottidae group, we can grow it easyly on the ground and soon it will turn into a huge specimen plant. It can be distinguished from other similar species due to the two roundish yellow callus on the lip. There are several different colors of this species.
