What is Epidendrum orchid

Epidendrum (scientific name: Epidendrum radicans) is native to Latin America and is non-cold-resistant evergreen perennial of the family orchidaceae. Cattleya is a closely related species, from spring to summer, a lot of colorful florets can bloom from flower stalks. Epi is a word expressing "above" and dendrum is a word expressing "tree", "tree", that is, many species to be born. The leaves are thick and attached in a line to each other, making me think of succulent plants.
