|discussion=<p><i>Epidendrum amphistomum</i> grows in Martin, Lee, Collier, Miami-Dade, and Monroe counties, Florida.</p><!--
--><p>The species is pollinated by male night moths: Eucereon carolina, Lymire edwardsii, Cisseps fulvicollis, and Oxydia vesulia. Its reproduction is obligately allogamous. Flowers produce a fragrance reminiscent of overly ripe vegetables, heaviest between late afternoon and dawn (R. M. Adams and G. J. Goss 1976).</p><!--
--><p>This name has been generally regarded as synonymous with <i>Epidendrum</i> anceps Jacquin, which L. A. Garay and H. R. Sweet (1974) considered synonymous with <i>Epidendrum</i> secundum Jacquin (E. Hágsater 1993).</p><!--
--><p>Outside the flora area are several closely related species, all of them having been considered by recent authors under the name <i>Epidendrum</i> anceps.</p>
