Epidendrum paniculatum (gloss: paniculate upon a tree) is a species of orchid in the genus Epidendrum.
Reichenbach determined that E. fastigiatum <small>Lindl. 1853</small>, E. floribundum <small>Kunth 1816</small>, and E. paniculatum <small>Ruiz & Pav. (1798)</small>, including E. cuspidatum <small>Lindl. (1853)</small>, E. laevi <small>Lindl. (1844)</small>, and E. longicrure <small>Lindl. (1853)</small> were three separate species. Because E. fastigiatum <small>Lindl. 1853</small> and E. paniculatum <small>Ruiz & Pav. (1798)</small> had the lower part of the inflorescences covered in imbricate sheathes, Reichenbach placed them in the section Amphiglotium Polycladia. Because E. floribundum <small>Kunth 1816</small> had no imbricate sheaths on the lower part of the inflorescence, Reichenbach placed it in the subsection Euepidendrum Planifolia Paniculata.
According to the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families published by Kew, E. fastigiatum <small>Lindl. 1853</small> and E. floribundum <small>Kunth 1816</small> are both synonyms for Epidendrum paniculatum <small>Ruiz & Pav. (1798)</small>.
In 1984, the diploid chromosome number of an individual identified as E. floribundum <small>Kunth</small> was determined as 2n = 40.
