Ok, so I had
Epidendrum pseudonocturnum in bloom recently, which is similar to
Epi. nocturnum, except that
Epi. pseudonocturnum is a larger species, both vegetatively and florally.
This species is recorded from multiple South American countries, and was confused with
Epi. nocturum. True
Epi. pseudonocturnum are very hard to come by, they are sometimes passed as
Epi. nocturnum. I find it an easy species to grow in my climate, but in other's conditions, you may not be able to keep the plant alive but more than a few minutes... they need constant humidity, and stagnant water underneath the plant is a MUST. My plant is a specimen, about 3 feet wide by 4 feet tall... the longest cane is about two and a half feet... the old stems keep blooming from the same, old, dead-looking inflorescence...
Here are the pics, these are High-Resolution, and are in link form because of that:
