Description:This page describes epidendrum erubescens, also known as Blushing Epidendrum. During the 19th century orchid craze it was "made a special object in the instructions of the various collectors who have been sent from time to time to ransack the forest treasures of Oaxaca." However, at the time of writing most examples had perished in transit from Central America, meaning the only references for Europeans were dried specimens belonging to Munich's Royal Herbarium.
