Finding
SITF confirms this plant as Epidendrum splendens (Aug 2024). It is a larger flower in the Epi. secundum group, resupinate, and spherical inflorescence. The lip matches, including the crests. This plant matches the description and photo of Epi. splendens in the article in the Species Orchidacearum - Icones Colombianae, Epidendrum splendens. The strongly fimbriate lip lobes, long claw between midlobe and side lobes, the long, plate-like pointed crest running from the base of the lip all along the claw and the large lobe-like crests on either side at the base all fit.
