Epidendrum radicans #07 - exemplar unicat

Epidendrum radicans is a terrestrial orchid species, commonly called the "Rainbow Orchid" or "Fire Star Orchid."
A special feature of this genus of orchids is the tendency to spread its roots along the entire length of the stem. It is found in Puerto Rico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Venezuela, and Colombia. Like other members of the subgenus Amphioglottium, radicans is a sympodial species that has stems which do not develop thickened pseudobulbs, but are covered by overlapping sheaths extending to the basal area of the inflorescence inserted at the top.
It is notable, specific to the subgenus, the presence of a labellum fused with the column towards its apex. The labellum is three-lobed, as in other members of the Schistochila section, with jagged lobes typical of the Carinata and Tuberculata subsections.

Height including pot: 50-60 cm
