Epidendrum verrucosum is a species of Epidendrum orchid that was described by Schwartz in 1806. In 1861, Reichenbach placed it in subsection Euepidendrum Planifolia Paniculata of the genus Epidendrum.H. G. Reichenbach "ORCHIDES" in Dr. Carl Müller, Walpers Annales Botanices Systematicae Tomus VI p. 414, Berlin, 1861
Homonymy In 1844, Lindley published a description of a very different orchid, Encyclia adenocaula (Lex.) Schltr. (1918), under the name Epidendrum verrucosum, making Epidendrum verrucosum Lindl. (1844) an illegitimate name, and a synonym for Encyclia adenocaula.
