| Orchidaceae | Epidendrum acunae | Galé’s Star Orchid, Acuña’s Star Orchid | Epiphytic on trees in strand swamps. | S. FL; West Indies; Mexico (CHP, OAX) and Central America. Last seen in our region in 1974, in Collier County, FL. | |
| Orchidaceae | Epidendrum amphistomum | Dingy-flowered Star Orchid; Dingy-flowered Epidendrum | Epiphytic on a wide variety of trees in strand swamps. One of the most common epiphytic orchids in s. FL swamps. | S. FL; West Indies (Cuba). | 
|
| Orchidaceae | Epidendrum conopseum | Green-fly Orchid | Epiphytic on limbs of trees, especially Magnolia grandiflora, Quercus virginiana, and Taxodium spp., in blackwater river swamps, tidal freshwater swamps, and mesic hardwood hammocks, usually on relatively horizontal limbs mixed with Pleopeltis michauxiana, also rarely in crevices of Altamaha Grit outcrops. | The northernmost epiphytic orchid: se. NC south to c. peninsular FL, west to w. LA; disjunct in ne. Mexico (Nuevo León, San Luis Potosí, Tamaulipas). All other species of Epidendrum in the flora are limited to c. and s. FL. It is locally rather common, but rarely seen as it occurs primarily in blackwater swamps, on upper limbs of Taxodium, Nyssa, Planera, and other trees, typically mixed with Pleopeltis. See Correll (1936) for additional discussion of this species at its northern limit. | 
|
| Orchidaceae | Epidendrum floridense | Umbrella Star Orchid | Epiphytic on trees in swamps. | S. FL (rarely c. peninsular FL); West Indies (Cuba, Hispaniola). Perhaps now restricted to s. FL, historically in c. FL (K. DeLaney 105) and on Torry Island Hammocks of Lake Okeechobee (J.K. Small 4175) |

|
| Orchidaceae | Epidendrum rigidum | Stiff-flowered Star Orchid, Rigid Epidendrum | Epiphytic on trees in dome swamps, strand swamps, sloughs, and rockland hammocks. | S. FL; West Indies; Bermuda; Central and South America. This species is similarly as common as E. amphistomum in sloughs and swamps of s. FL but slightly less widespread. |
