Encyclia radiata is an orchid found in the states of San Luis Potosi, Queretaro, Hidalgo, Puebla, Veracruz, Oaxaca, Tabasco, and Chiapas in Mexico, as well as in Guatemala, Honduras, Belize, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, and Venezuela. It grows in various types of forests, including evergreen tropical and mixed pine and oak forests, at altitudes of 150-2000 meters. It is a small to medium-sized epiphyte, with ellipsoid to elliptic-ovoid pseudobulbs, slightly compressed and grooved, partially covered at the base by several dry sheaths. Each bulb bears 2 to 4 lance-shaped elliptical leaves, blunt or broadly pointed, near the tip.

Encyclia radiata is a very fragrant species, blooming in autumn, winter, and spring, on a short apical flower stem up to 4 inches (10 cm) long, with 4-12 strongly scented flowers, thick in texture, resembling a shell. It is an easy species to grow and thrives well mounted on wood or in a basket/pot with bark.
