For E. cornutum Sessé & Moc. 1894, nom. illeg., see Stanhopea oculata (Lodd.) Lindl., 1832
Epidendrum cornutum Lindl. 1841 is the accepted name[1] for a species of Epidendrum native to western South America.
The stem features grass-like leaves. The inflorescence is a densely-flowered raceme, about 6 in. long, bearing fragrant white flowers with filiform petals and a deeply three-lobed lip[2]. The plant has been found growing as an epiphyte on trees in Peru.
Synonymy
Synonyms for E. cornutum include
- Epidendrum anthoceros Lind. & Reichb. f. (1854)
- Epidendrum Pavonianum Reichb. f. (1856)
- Epidendrum melinoacron Schltr. (1921) [3]
The identity of this taxon has been confused by the publication, in 1894, of a description of Stanhopea oculata (first described in 1832) under the name Epidendrum cornutum.
