Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F)
 
Comments: Epistephium hernandii Garay was first published in the AOS Bull. 30: 498 (1961). Another good reference is found in Volume 6 of "Venezuelan Orchids Illustrated" by Dunsterville and Garay (1976), pp. 150-151. This ref. includes a full-page line-drawing of the flowers, buds, and leaf. We saw some plants growing in dense brush that were 3-4 meters high, with blooms at the top that initially made them look like epiphytes in the branches.

Parent plant: The flowers are dark rosy-lavender; the lip midlobe is white and has a distinctive hairy callus. The terrestrial growth habit and flowers look superficially like Sobralia. The capsule plant was growing amidst wiry bushes in full sun and predominantly quartz sand; the leafy stems were about 1.5-2.0 meters high.
