Epidendrum dendrobioides

Epidendrum dendrobioides is a species of orchid in the genus Epidendrum.

The name means that this Epidendrum (Greek for "upon a tree") resembles a Dendrobium (Greek for "tree grower"). This sympodial "tree grower" grows terrestrially in central Brazil, at altitudes of 600—900 m. Its stem can grow to 0.4 m tall. The coriaceous leaves are sessile, arising from clasping sheathes which cover the stem. The congested paniculate inflorescence arises from the apex of the stem and bears small, fleshy yellow flowers.
