The column is short, with two wings. The anther is terminal, and the stigma is bilobed.
Epidendrum sculptum is a sympodial, epiphytic reed-stemmed orchid native to the Neotropics from Chiapas Mexico to Brazil, at altitudes ranging from near sea level to 0.5 km. It has hanging cane-like stems, covered in imbricating sheaths, with alternate, oblong leaves up to 5 cm long. The inflorescence is so short that the three flowers appear to be sessile on the apex of the stem. The non-resupinate flowers are 1 cm long, light green, and open only partially. The sepals are narrowly ovate, the petals narrowly elliptical, and the carnose trilobate lip is united to the column to its apex. The column is short, with two wings, and the anther is terminal, and the stigma is bilobed.
