Epidendrum juaicaense is a species of orchid in the family Orchidaceae. It was first described from the Juaica region of Colombia, where it grows in montane habitats.[1] The plant's status has been considered threatened, which has led to calls for conservation of both the plant and the larger Andean ecosystem.[2]
Description
It belongs to the large genus Epidendrum, which is widely distributed across the Americas. It is different from other species by its floral arrangement and vegetative attributes.[3][1]
