Epidendrum Subsect. Integra
''Integra'' is a subsection of the section ''Schistochila'' of the subgenus ''Amphiglotium'' (Lindl.) of the genus ''Epidendrum'' of the Orchidaceae (orchid family). Like the other subsections of ''Schistochila'', ''Integra'' plants are sympodial orchids with no tendency to produce pseudobulbs. They bear a terminal inflorescence with a Peduncle (botany), peduncle covered for most of its length with close, thin, imbricate sheaths, and terminating in a raceme. This subsection differs from the other two in that the margins of the trilobate labellum (botany), lip are not lacerate, fringed, or denticulate. In 1861, Rchb.f., Reichenbach listed fifteen separate species in this subsection. Some of these names are now recognized as synonymsapps.kew.org/wcsp/ * ''Epidendrum anceps, E. anceps'' Jacq. (1763) as ''E. fuscatum'' Olof Swartz, Sw. (p. 385-386) * ''Epidendrum anisatum, E. anisatum'' Lex. (1825) (p. 385). Also as ''E. gladiatum'' Lindl. (p. ...

Epidendrum Anceps
''Epidendrum anceps'', literally the "two-edged upon a tree," a species of epiphyte, epiphytic orchid in the genus ''Epidendrum'', is sometimes known as the brown epidendrum or dingy-flowered epidendrum. Description ''E. anceps'' exhibits a sympodial growth habit, producing closely spaced reed-like stems up to 5 dm tall (10 dm, according to Correll and Schweinfurth) which are flattened laterally (hence, ''anceps'') and covered by imbricating sheathes which bear leaves on the upper part of the stem. The wide tan-green coriaceous sessile linear-elliptic distichous leaves grow up to 22 cm long by 43 mm wide. The terminal inflorescence is a raceme at the end of a long Peduncle (botany), peduncle covered from its base by close, imbricating sheathes; sometimes additional racemes will arise from the nodes of the peduncle. The flowers typically contain significant amounts of chlorophyll and yellow pigment—these are often accompanied by enough purple pigmen ...

Epidendrum Centropetalum
''Epidendrum'' , abbreviated Epi in the horticultural trade, is a large neotropical genus of the orchid family. With more than 1,500 species, some authors describe it as a mega-genus. The genus name (from Greek ''επί, epi'' and ''δένδρον, dendron'', "upon trees") refers to its epiphytic growth habit. When Carl Linnaeus named this genus in 1763, he included in this genus all the epiphytic orchids known to him. Although few of these orchids are still included in the genus ''Epidendrum'', some species of ''Epidendrum'' are nevertheless not epiphytic. Distribution and ecology They are native to the tropics and subtropical regions of the American continents, from North Carolina to Argentina. Their habitat can be epiphytic, terrestrial (such as '' E. fulgens''), or even lithophytic (growing on bare rock, such as '' E. calanthum'' and '' E. saxatile''). Many are grown in the Andes, at altitudes between 1,000 and 3,000 m. Their habitats include humid jungles, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
