'''''Scaphosepalum''''' (from [[Greek language|Greek]] "boatlike sepals") is a [[genus]] of [[plant]]s belonging to the [[family (biology)|family]] [[Orchidaceae]]. The species in this genus are mostly found in [[Central America|Central]] and [[South America]]. In accordance with their genus name, many species in this genus produce unusual and distinctive flowers; some possessing cushion-like characteristics reminiscent of an [[African buffalo|African buffalo's]] horns, others possessing characteristics of [[Cobra (snake)|snake fangs]].
Species in this genus are [[epiphyte|ephiphytic]] in their growth habit and according to the [[Royal Horticultural Society]] ''Sppm.'' is the genus' official abbreviation.
