"In the mid 1970s, several specimen plants of a new species, Epidendrum ilense, were discovered by Selby scientists in a forested area of Ecuador. A return trip to the site revealed that the forest had been cleared for agriculture, and the species was thought to be lost in nature. Selby propagated their specimens with tissue culture and then distributed plants to botanical gardens and scientific institutions worldwide. Now this plant is plentiful in collections and hobbyists have a greater understanding of this elusive species."
