[4] The flowers of encyclia viridiflora are green with a purple blotch at the base of the petals.

Several flowers bloom on a lightly branched panicle that grows among the leaves.

[3] Encyclia viridiflora is an intermediate to warm growing epiphyte.

The original specimen was found near the city of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil in the 1800s.

It is quite possible that this species has been lost due to habitat destruction.
