Epidendrum subsect. Tuberculata
Introduction '''''Epidendrum'' subsect. ''Tuberculata''''' is a subsection of the section ''Schistochila'' of the subgenus ''Amphiglottium'' Lindl. of the genus ''Epidendrum'' of the Orchidaceae. This subsection differs from the subsection ''Integra'' in that the margins of the trilobate lip are dentate or lacerate. This subsection differs from the subsection ''Carinata'' by possessing a callus, or tubercule on the midlobe of the lip. In 1861, Reichenbach recognized 22 species in this subsection. Many, but not all, have since been brought into synonymy with ''Epidendrum secundum''. (Page numbers refer to Reichenbach, 1861. )* ''E. catillus'' Rchb.f. & Warsz.
