Encyclia viridiflora is a species of epiphytic orchid of green flowers, native to the north of Brazil and is the type species for the genus Encyclia. Especially the specimen was found in the area of Rio de Janeiro.
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 has not been seen in the wild in many years and is possibly extinct. Only one specimen has been found and it is the type specimen for the genus. It is quite possible that this species has been lost due to habitat destruction.
