Epidendrum

Finding

SITF confirms this plant as Epidendrum subumbellatum (Aug 2026). This species is very similar to Epidendrum dixiorum, but Epidendrum dixorum has a serrate-margined extension from the end of the column over the anther cap. Epidendrum subumbellatum does not have that extension and it appears that this flower also is missing that characteristic.
