Amphiglottis latilabris is an orchid species identified by (Lindl.) Acuña in 1939. Culture information and photos for this orchid are commonly detailed under the currently accepted name of Epidendrum latilabre.
ORIGIN: Found in Brazil, French Guiana, Peru and Bolivia in wet montane forests low down on tree trunks and branches at elevations around 350 to 1830 meters.
DESCRIPTION: Small sized, hot to cool growing epiphyte that is very similar to Epidendrum difforme but differs in having an obscurely 3 lobed, very broadly transverse unicaulos labellum. The plant has strongly fractiflex, compressed, ancipitous stems, terete below, gradually broader above that has a green leaf bearing, articulated, conduplicate closed sheath at each node. The leaves are succulent looking, oblong-elliptic, oval or ovate-elliptic, basally clasping, and bilobed apically and the plant blooms in the winter and early spring on a subsessile, 4 to 7 flowered, short inflorescence with successively opening flowers.
FLOWER SIZE: 2 inches [5 cm]
