Epidendrum campestre Jacq. (1760)
|
Epidendrum campestre (Savannah Epidendrum) is a rupicolous, sympodial orchid of the Epidendrum genus, with claviculate pseudobulbs up to 10 cm tall, which bear three narrow leathery linear-lanceolate leaves up to 10 cm in length. The inflorescence arises from the apex of the pseudobulb, and bears up to ten flowers in the spring. The flowers are 1 cm in diameter, with lilac-pink perianth segments: the lateral sepals are falcate.[1] The tetralobate lip is adnate to the column to its end, lacks any fringe whatsoever, and has a white callus.
