Epidendrum floridense (Florida star orchid) is a threatened species of orchid native to southern Florida, in the Everglades and in the region around Lake Okeechobee.[2] It was long listed as E. difforme Jacquin, formerly considered a highly variable species but now known to be a complex of dozens of species.[3][4]
Epidendrum floridense is a cespitose herb, epiphytic on various trees in swamps and forests. It has green, moth-pollinated flowers.[3][5]
