Epidendrum subsect. Paniculata

Epidendrum subsect. Paniculata <small>Rchb.f. 1861</small> is a subsection of section E.&nbsp;sect.&nbsp;Planifolia of subgenus E.&nbsp;subgen.&nbsp;Epidendrum of the genus Epidendrum of the Orchidaceae (orchid family). Plants of E.&nbsp;subsect.&nbsp;Paniculata differ from the other subsections of E.&nbsp;sect.&nbsp;Planifolia by producing paniculate inflorescences. In 1861, Reichenbach recognized eighteen species in this subsection. From this group, Kew recognizes seventeen species (Page numbers are from Reichenbach):
