Botanical illustration of Epidendrum pseudepidendrum.
Epidendrum pseudepidendrum (the "False Epidendrum Epidendrum") 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.[1] According to Reichenbach, the strange name is the result of first being named Pseudepidendrum spectabile, before being moved to Epidendrum.
The species E. xanthoianthinum Hágsater (1993) was first described as a gold variety of this species, with the name E. pseudepidendrum var. auratum Rchb.f. (1885).
