            </p>
            <p>Etymology: —The specific epithet honors Brazilian botanist Dayse Raiane Passos Krahl, wife of the first author and co-collector of the type specimen.</p>
            <p>Distribution and habitat: —The type specimen was found to the north of the municipality of Manaus (AM), northern Brazil, in sandy soil vegetation called “ campina/campinarana ” forests. It was observed growing as an epiphyte a few meters above the ground (max. 2 m).</p>
            <p>Phenology: —Plants were registered flowering in late April. It is likely that they continue blooming until May, or longer, as they produce single flowers in succession. Fruiting was registered between July and October.</p>
            <p>Conservation status: —Data deficient. With only two small populations known, there is not enough information about this species to assess the conservation status at this time.</p>
            <p> Cytogenetics:—  Epidendrum dayseae individuals have chromosome numbers 2 n = 4 x = 80, with an average size of 2.36μm. The species exhibited a relatively symmetrical karyotype, with metacentric and submetacentric chromosomes. The karyotype had GC-rich heterochromatin bands (CMA +) on the proximal regions of most chromosomes, and four CMA + terminal bands corresponding to NORs (Fig. 2). Chromosome numbers for species of infrageneric groups of  Epidendrum are predominantly 2 n = 2 x = 40 (Felix &amp; Guerra 2010, Assis et al. 2013, Cordeiro 2019, Pessoa et al. 2020). Polyploidy has been previously recorded for  Epidendrum subgenus Amphyglottium (Assis et al. 2013) and  Epidendrum ciliare Linnaeus (1759: 1246) (Coilostylis group; Felix &amp; Guerra 2010). The  Epidendrum nocturnum group appears to be a special group within  Epidendrum , where speciation and diversification is associated with polyploidy events (Cordeiro, 2019). The chromosome number and CMA/DAPI bands pattern found in  Epidendrum dayseae is similar to that found for most species of the  E. nocturnum group analyzed so far, reinforcing the hypothesis of recent origin and diversification for the species in the group (Cordeiro 2019). </p>
            <p> Morphological affinities: —  Epidendrum dayseae belongs to the Nocturnum group. The new species is recognized by the pendent stem, the numerous linear–lanceolate and acuminate leaves distributed along the apical 2/3 of the stem, the pedicellate ovary longer than the sepals and the lateral lobes of the lip acute to acuminate, about half as long as the mid-lobe. It is similar to  E. longicolle which occurs along the upper Amazon Basin in Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, Venezuela, and the Guyana Shield as far as the adjacent north coast of South America including Trinidad and Tobago (Hágsater &amp; Sánchez-Saldaña 2010). However,  E. dayseae can be distinguished by the pendent stem (vs. sub-erect to erect), a longer pedicellate ovary (ca. 5.4 vs 4– 3 cm), narrower sepals (ca. 0.3 vs. 0.4–0.5 cm), and most distinctly by the lip’s lateral lobes that are sub-triangular and smaller than the mid-lobe and deeply separated from the mid-lobe by deep, narrow sinuses, joined no further than the apex of the calli (vs. lateral lobes semi-ovate and nearly as long as the mid-lobe, and united to it as far as the middle, well beyond the calli), the lateral lobes of the lip narrower (≤ 0.5 vs. ≥ 0.5 cm), sub-triangular and apically acute (vs. semi-ovate and obtuse to acute), and the mid-lobe narrower (0.1 vs. 0.2–0.3 cm), and linear and acuminate (vs. lanceolate and acute) (see Hágsater &amp; Sánchez-Saldaña 2010). </p>
            <p> Epidendrum dayseae is morphologically similar to  Epidendrum plurifolionocturnum Hágsater &amp; Sánchez-Saldaña (2018 : t. 1695). However, the new species has a pendent stem (vs. erect), a linear-lanceolate leaf blade (vs. lanceolate) which is generally longer (7.6–16.6 vs. 4.5–10 cm), the apex acuminate (vs. mucronate), a pedicellate ovary longer (ca. 5.4 vs. 4– 3 cm), the lateral lobes of the lip ovate and apically acute (vs. semi-ovate with obtuse to acute apex) and the mid-lobe narrower (0.1 vs. 0.2–0.3 cm) (see Hágsater &amp; Santiago 2018b: pl. 1695). </p>
