Epidendrum verrucosum is a species of Epidendrum orchid that was described by Schwartz in 1806. In 1861, Reichenbach placed it in subsection Euepidendrum Planifolia Paniculata of the genus Epidendrum.[1]
In 1844, Lindley published a description of a very different orchid, Encyclia adenocaula (Lex.) Schltr. (1918), under the name Epidendrum verrucosum,[2] making Epidendrum verrucosum Lindl. (1844) an illegitimate name, and a synonym for Encyclia adenocaula.
