Comments: A rather typical example of a fantastic species. Overall flower color, save the labellum and distal end of the column, is bright, clear, apple green; dorsal sepal narrow basally, expanding to a concave inflexion apically; lateral petals narrowly linear, expanding slightly at distal end, inflexed moderately at distal end; lateral sepals much like dorsal, but with significantly more pronounced concave inner surfaces; labellum fused to column (as with all epidendrums) for much of its length, expanding suddenly into a broad, reflexed, egg yolk-orange lobulate midlobe, no sidelobes, margins of midlobe moderately fimbriate, five raised veins of paler yellow-orange emanate from throat of fusiform labellum and column; column of same color as petals and sepals basally, bright, glowing red distally; substance hard, texture waxy. Dorsal sepal 0.7 cm wide, 3.3 cm long; lateral petals 0.3 cm wide, 3.2 cm long; lateral sepals 0.7 cm wide, 3.3 cm long; labellum 2.3 cm wide, 3.0 cm long.
Donor's culture notes: Epidendrum pseudepidendrum is a obligate warm-grower, not liking temperatures below 65°F (18°C) much at all. Optimal temperature range is 68°F to 85°F (20°C to 29.4°C), but warmer temperatures are easily tolerated. I grow this plant mounted, but daily watering keeps moisture pretty constant.
Unique ID: MC1022
(this will not change even if any part of the name should change)
