Description
| The accepted name Lepismium lorentzianum (Griseb.) Barthlott was published in Bradleya 5: 99. 1987. The geographic range is Argentina (Salta, Tucumán, Jujuy); Bolivia, Plurinational States of found at elevations of 500-2000 meters with an endangered status of least concern. Lepismium lorentzianum is classified in the subgenus Lepismium. Observed growing as an epiphyte or lithophyte. Overall habit is pendant, branches are dimorphic (more than one stem shape) and mesotonic or acrotonic (stems form from the tips to middle of previous stems). Stems are 2 to 3 angled, margins have low crenations, often dentate (slightly scalloped, often serrated like holly), bristles are absent. Basal stems are inderminate (seasonal growth is various lengths), 10cm-40cm x 2cm-4cm. Main stems are indeterminate (seasonal growth is various lengths), 10cm-20cm x 2cm-4cm. Flowers are campanulate or infundibuliform (bell or funnel shaped), 1.5cm-4cm x unreported. Petals 10, sepals 5. Inner petals are white or yellow, outer petals are white, yellow or green. Stamen are white, count is unreported. Stigma lobes 4. Flower ovary is cylindrical-angled, 0.6cm-0.7cm x 0.4cm. Flowering position on the stem is lateral and the flower orientation in relation to the stem is oblique. It is unreported whether flowering repeats per areole. A maximum of 1 flowers were reported at a single areole. Areole position in the stems is superficial (flower ovary is visible on the surface of the stems during bud development). Trichomes or wool is absent or sparse at the areoles after flowering. Unripe fruit is green or red. Ripe fruit is globose, subglobose or obconical-globose; purple or black, 0.8cm-0.9cm x 0.3cm-0.8cm.
