Epidendrum garcianum grows as a sympodial, miniature, hot to cool growing epiphyte with ovoid, tapering at both ends pseudobulbs subtended by a couple of scarious sheaths carrying a single, apical, lanceoloate, minutely bidentate, leaf that is basally conduplicate to the apex of the pseudobulb and blooms on a, terminal, 2/5" [3.5 cm] long, single flowered inflorescence arising on a mature pseudobulb and holding the flower at mid-leaf. The Flower is non-resupinate, extremely long lasting (6 to 8 weeks for a flower) and very fragrant if exposed to sunlight.
