Epidendrum frigidum is a reed-stemmed Epidendrum orchid found in the high-altitude tropics of Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. It is notable for inhabiting the high altitude tropical cloud forest near the tree line, sometimes on trees and sometimes terrestrially on damp rocks. The round stem grows from a half to a meter tall and is covered by foliaceous sheathes of the distichous leaves. The erect paniculate inflorescence with drooping branches arises from the apex of the stem and the flowers are pale rose or green. The rigid sepals and petals do not open widely, but surround the cordate lip which is adnate to the column to its apex and has an entire margin.
