Jim has spent time in many interesting parts of the world, including the Virgin Islands and Hawaii, before settling in the west coast of Florida with his approximately 10,000 square feet of greenhouse space. One of Jim’s specialties is the deciduous varieties of dendrobium, specifically Den. anosmum and related varieties. He has a number of specimen plants at his greenhouse and has won many AOS awards over the years. Dendrobiums make up the second largest category of orchids with over 1200 species. It is also the second most common in cultivation today, some with flowers lasting only one day and others with flowers that last for more than a month. These orchids should be watered heavily in spring Den. anosmum grows at low elevations and is warm and summer, from March through October, using a well to hot growing. Its raspberry-scented flowers are very balanced fertilizer. He recommends 1/4 strength every fragrant and it is a variety that does very well in Florida. other watering.

Using the “Seidenfaden collection” in Copenhagen as an example, we address the common view that botanical garden collections of orchids are important for conservation. Seidenfaden collected live orchids all over Thailand from 1957 to 1983 and created a traditional collection for taxonomic research, characterized by high taxonomic diversity and low intraspecific variation. Following an extended period of partial neglect, we managed to set up a five-year project aimed at expanding the collection with a continued focus on taxonomic diversity, but widening the geographic scope to tropical Asia.

  • Development of the Embryo and the Young Seedling Stages of Orchids
    Development of the Embryo II' L_ and the Young Seedling Stages of Orchids YVONNE VEYRET Until 1804, when Salisbury found that orchid seeds could germinate, the seeds were considered sterile. Much later, in 1889, Bernard's discovery of the special conditions necessary for their growth and development ex- plained the lack of success in previous attempts to obtain plantules, and the success, although mediocre, when sowing of seed took place at the foot of the mother plant. Knowing the rudimentary state of minute or- chid embryos, one can better understand that an exterior agent, usually a Rhizoctonia, can be useful in helping them through their first stages of development (Bernard, 1904). Orchid embryos, despite their rudimentary condition, present diverse pattems of development, the most apparent of which are concerned with the character of the suspensor; there are other basic patterns that are re- vealed in the course of the formation of the embryonic body. These char- acteristics have been used differently in the classification of orchid em- bryos. This will be discussed in the first part of this chapter, to which will be added our knowledge of other phenomena concerning the embryo, in particular polyembryonic and apomictic seed formation. The second part of this chapter is devoted to the development of the young embryo, a study necessary for understanding the evolution of the different zones of the embryonic mass. We will also examine the characteristics of the em- bryo whose morphology, biology, and development are specialized when compared to other plants. 3 /-y , I', 1 dT 1- , ,)i L 223 - * * C" :.

  • Total Evidence Phylogeny of Coelogyne and Allied Genera (Coelogyninae, Epidendroideae, Orchidaceae) Based on Morphological, Anatomical and Molecular Characters
    B. Gravendeel & E.F. de Vogel: Phylogeny of Coelogyne and allied genera 35 Chapter 3 TOTAL EVIDENCE PHYLOGENY OF COELOGYNE AND ALLIED GENERA (COELOGYNINAE, EPIDENDROIDEAE, ORCHIDACEAE) BASED ON MORPHOLOGICAL, ANATOMICAL AND MOLECULAR CHARACTERS B. GRAVENDEEL & E.F. DE VOGEL Nationaal Herbarium Nederland, Universiteit Leiden branch, P.O. Box 9514, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands SUMMARY A phylogenetic analysis of subtribe Coelogyninae (Epidendroideae, Orchidaceae) is performed based on 41 macromorphological and 4 anatomical characters scored from 43 taxa in Coelogyninae (27 Coelogyne species and 13 representatives of other genera) and three outgroups from Bletiinae and Thuniinae. The results from this analysis are analysed together with an earlier constructed molecular data set for the same species. All datasets confirm the monophyly of the Coelogyninae. Coelogyne appears to be polyphyletic, with species falling in at least two different clades. Key characters for generic and sectional delimitation were mapped on the total evidence tree and a comparison of their states within the various groups in Coelogyninae is used for a discussion of evolutionary polarity. Trichome type, presence of stegmata, inflorescence type, number of flowers per inflorescence, persistence of floral bracts, presence of sterile bracts on the rhachis, ovary indu- mentum, petal shape, presence and shape of lateral lobes of hypochile, number of keels on the epichile and presence of a fimbriate margin on the epichile appear to be good characters for defining major clades in Coelogyninae. The number of leaves per pseudobulb, size of the flowers, shape of the lip base and petals and presence of stelidia and calli show many reversals. The total evidence phylogeny is compared with traditional classifications of Coelogyne and Coelogyninae.

  • On the “Seidenfaden Collection” and the Multiple Roles Botanical Gardens Can Play in Orchid Conservation

Following an extended period of partial neglect, we managed to set up a five-year project aimed at expanding the collection with a continued focus on taxonomic diversity, but widening the geographic scope to tropical Asia. Since its establishment, the collection has contributed significantly to ex situ conservation and to research-based development of powerful tools for improving in situ conservation-related decisions and priorities. The collection has been, and still is, an important basis for taxonomic and floristic research which has enabled treatment of the Orchidaceae in the Thai red-list. However, the primary focus of our project has shifted to micro-propagation, DNA-barcoding and phylogenetic analysis. The close link between collection-based research and conservation is remarkable and probably applicable to plant collections in botanical gardens in general.

Biodiversitas 16: 213-224. This study determines the conservation status of the family Orchidaceae, as present on Mt. Sinaka, Arakan, North Cotabato, Philippines. A thorough survey and alpha taxonomy was done, from base to peak of the mountain. Identification of the specimens and assessment of their conservation status was based on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Plants 2013.2 and National List of Threatened Philippine Plants of Fernando et al. (2008). Based on the result conducted on October 2013-March 2014, out of 59 identified species found in the area, 12 species are widespread, 22 are endemic, 1 vulnerable, 1 critically endangered (Paphiopedilum adductum), 1 endangered (Corybas sp.), 2 least concerned species, and 20 unassessed species (not yet assessed by the IUCN). It has been also noted that there are probably some new species, which need thorough study for further identification.

El Nido, Palawan 5313 Philippines 2Department of Environment and Natural Resources Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office South Cotabato Block 1, Martinez Subdivision, Koronadal City 9506 Philippines Orchids are one of the most diverse yet threatened plant families in the world and the Philippines. Despite the new species discoveries of orchids in the country in recent years, diversity and distribution studies are still severely lacking. Here, we provide a list of orchid species found among different forest types in Mount Busa and provide information on the species’ altitudinal and vertical distributions and ornamental use. We recorded 108 species of orchids from 51 genera, of which 53 species are endemic to the Philippines and 15 species are known only to occur on Mindanao island. Species composition differed among forest types, with the MASLEF (mixed advanced secondary lowland evergreen forest) hosting the highest number of orchid species recorded, followed by the UMF (upper montane forest), LMF (lower montane forest), and MESLEF (mixed early secondary lowland evergreen forest). Our results suggest a relatively rich and distinct orchid diversity among different forest types in Mount Busa that reinforces the high conservation value of the mountain range.
