Epidendrum nocturnum
''Epidendrum nocturnum'' is the type species of the genus ''Epidendrum'' of the Orchidaceae .
It is usually autogamous and sometimes cleistogamous .
The haploid chromosome number of ''E. nocturnum'' has been determined as ''n'' = 20. The diploid chromosome number has been determined both as 2''n'' = 40 and as 2''n'' = 80
In 1984, the variety ''E. nocturnum'' var. ''guadeloupense'' was determined to have a diploid chromosome number of 2''n'' = 42—48. On November 7, 2010, Kew did not recognize the existence of this variety in its World Checklist of Selected Plant Families.
