Two new species of Epidendrum from the Western Cordillera of the Colombian Andes are described and illustrated. The new species with red and orange flowers belong to the Schistochilum group, Secundum subgroup and are similar to Epidendrum portokalium and E. melinanthum but differ by the color of the flowers and floral details, especially the calli. The new species were found in an open area with mild to severe erosion of the soil with a high clay content and high levels of insolation. The location was purchased with the aim of implementing ecological restoration strategies for its conservation with plans to recover the forest areas and allow connectivity within landscapes. The discoveries made it necessary to change the ecological restoration plans, the results being that it is not necessary to restore forest cover, but rather to maintain the area in its current state, making some changes that allow the conservation of the two new species and associated species.
