Epidendrum orchidiflorum is a species of orchid of the genus Epidendrum.

Description

E. orchidiflorum grows in sandy thickets in Bahia, Brazil, according to Reichenbach's reading of Salzmann [es], and flowers in February, growing in sandy bushy places near Macero, according to Reichenbach's reading of Gardner, 1421. The flat, coriaceous distichous leaves are ovate-oblong and obtuse. The stout, ~3 dm long, terminal peduncle is covered with rough imbricate sheathes and ends in a short raceme of green flowers. The dorsal sepal is obovate, and the lateral sepals are oblong. The two petals are linear-subcuneate. The subrotund lip has two calli at the base, and is tridentate at the apex; the middle tooth is smaller than the lateral teeth.
