Eulophia ecristata, synonym Orthochilus ecristatus,[1] or giant orchid,[5] is a terrestrial species of orchid native to Cuba and to the southeastern United States (from Louisiana to North Carolina).[1][6][7] In 2014, it was proposed that the species should be transferred to the genus Orthochilus, [8] but as of December 2023 this was not accepted by Plants of the World Online.[1] This is one of several species known as a "giant orchid".
