About Epidendrum ramosum Jacq.
Epidendrum ramosum stems do not swell into pseudobulbs. They are highly branched and covered with close, tubular sheaths. The upper sheaths bear moderately long leaves with rounded apexes. A short, scaly apical peduncle holds a raceme with large alternate floral bracts, which nearly cover the long pedicellate ovaries of the few green-yellow flowers this species produces. The sepals are oblong-acute, measuring 5–6 mm long and 2 mm wide. The petals are narrower than the sepals. The lip is cordate and acute, adnate to the column all the way to the column's apex, has no lateral lobes, and bears a callus made of two keel-like ridges near the column apex. The four pollinia are white.
