It grows exposed to intense sunlight in the forest canopy,[1] particularly on Guava species. E. flexuosum bears non-resupinate lavender flowers on a congested raceme at the end of a long peduncle. In the wild, Epidendrum flexuosum grows naturally together with a nest of ants,[2] and sometimes bees, wasps, or hornets,[3] which protect it from predators. This species is very difficult to grow without the ants, a phenomenon found in other genera such as Caularthron, Coryanthes, and Sievekingia. DescriptionEpidendrum flexuosum has been placed in the subgenus E. subg. Amphiglottium[4] and shares the characteristics of that subgenus: it exhibits a sympodial growth habit with slender, unswollen stems covered by close distichous sheathes which are foliaceous on the upper sections of the stem; the inflorescence is terminal and covered from its base by distichous sheathes; and the lip is adnate to the column to its apex. The ligulate leaves have a small notch in the obtuse end.[5] The stem, including the peduncle, is flattened.[6] As is typical of the section E. sect. Schistochila, the inflorescence is a raceme, and the lip is lacerate. The lilac flowers are non-resupinate. The dorsal sepal is lanceolate and recurved, the lateral sepals are falcate, and the petals are rhombic[7] with lightly fringed to irregular margins. As is typical of the subsection E. subsect. Carinata, the lip is trilobate and has a keel, or carina, running down the center. In the case of E. flexuosum the lip is almost oval-shaped: Dodson & Bennett 1989 use the phrase "lip obscurely 3-lobed." The column is slightly s-shaped. The chromosome number of an individual collected in Mamirauá, Brazil has been determined as 2n = 28[8] SynonymyList of synonyms:[9]
