Calling experts on Epidendrum

[jai_star]

Need help to ID this cutting I got I believe it's species have looked online and gots description of E.pepperomia can anyone confirm or correct my theory?

Cant tell for sure until it bloom. Even then, you cant narrow down the correct ID

I just did a quick Google search, and that really does not look like Epidendrum pepperomia. Pepperomia is a small "miniature" that is very similar to E. porpax. Maybe an inch long psuedobulb (and that's probably being generous) with lots of closely spaced, proportionally wide leaves.

Unfortunately, other than that, I can't really tell you much more about its ID, though I agree with campchi. The foliage probably isn't distinctive enough to ID it, but if it flowers, you could get some pretty good educated guesses.

Out of curiousity, what makes you believe it's a species? To my untrained eyes, it looks like a keikei from a reedstem Epidendrum, and if so, the hybrids are significantly more common than the species.

I value all the feedback. I understand that unless there is flowers the is no better way to narrow down its heritage. I have several hybrid Epi and their foliage isn't as green as or size as big compared to this cutting. Just a gardeners instinct that tells me it's different. I shall update if and when this flowers
