Resumen
The name Epistephium derives from the Greek epi-, upon,
and stephanos, crown, in reference to the crown-like calyculus
situated prominently at the seed capsule apex (Cameron 2003).
Epistephium is broadly distributed in the Neotropics, from
Belize to Paraguay, but most species are localized in Northern
South America, especially Colombia and northeastern Brazil.
