Epidendrum magnoliae, sometimes called Epidendrum conopseum or the green-fly orchid, is a species of orchid in the genus Epidendrum. It is the most northern-growing epiphytic orchid in North America, being found wild in the southeastern United States from Louisiana to North Carolina, and also in northeastern Mexico (Nuevo León, San Luis Potosí, Tamaulipas).[1][2][3]

Epidendrum magnoliae grows on the branches of evergreen and deciduous trees at low elevations less than 100 m (330 ft) above sea level. Leaves are broadly elliptical, up to 10 cm (3.9 in) long, thick and almost leathery. One plant will produce 6-14 flowers, pale green to bronze-colored.[1]
The diploid chromosome number of E. magnoliae has been determined as 2n = 40, the haploid chromosome number as n = 20.[4]
