Epidendrum cornutum Lindl. 1841 is the accepted name for a species of Epidendrum native to western South America.
The stem features grass-like leaves. The inflorescence is a densely-flowered raceme, about 6 in. long, bearing fragrant white flowers with filiform petals and a deeply three-lobed lip. The plant has been found growing as an epiphyte on trees in Peru.

The identity of this taxon has been confused by the publication, in 1894, of a description of Stanhopea oculata (first described in 1832) under the name Epidendrum cornutum.
