Z. flava and Z. sakagutii and another pair of species of Rhomboda, R. moulmei- nensis and R. fanjingensis, are so similar that they are frequently misidentified. In this paper, based on field observations, study of type specimens and protologues, illustrations and comparisons of these two pairs of confused species are provided to enable identification. Key words: Chinese orchids, Rhomboda, Zeuxine Introduction Zeuxine Lindley (1826: 18) and Rhomboda Lindley (1857: 181) belong to subtribe Goodyerinae (Orchidoideae; Cranichideae; Pridgeon et al. 2003a, 2003b). Zeuxine comprises about 80 species distributed in tropical and southern Africa through tropical and subtropical Asia, to New Guinea, northeastern Australia, and the southwestern Pacific islands; with 14 species occurring in China, two of them are endemic (Chen et al. 2009b). Flowers of Zeuxine species are nearly always white or green, but a few are yellow.

Polyploidy, the multiplication of whole chromosome sets, is widespread and ploidy-level variation is frequent at all taxonomic levels, including species and populations, in angiosperms. Analyses of chromosome numbers and ploidy levels of 252 taxa of Korean non-commelinid monocots indicated that diploids (ca. 44%) and tet- raploids (ca. 14%) prevail, with fewer triploids (ca. 6%), pentaploids (ca. 2%), and hexaploids (ca. 4%) being found. The range of genome sizes of the analyzed taxa (0.3–44.5 pg/1C) falls well within that reported in the Plant DNA C-values database (0.061–152.33 pg/1C). Analyses of karyotype features in angiosperm often involve, in addition to chromosome numbers and genome sizes, mapping of selected repetitive DNAs in chro- mosomes. All of these data when interpreted in a phylogenetic context allow for the addressing of evolution- ary questions concerning the large-scale evolution of the genomes as well as the evolution of individual repeat types, especially ribosomal DNAs (5S and 35S rDNAs), and other tandem and dispersed repeats that can be identified in any plant genome at a relatively low cost using next-generation sequencing technologies.

  • Goodyerinae in the Rijksher- Going Through Barium, Several Sumatra
    TWO NEW ORCHID GENERA 399 X. Two orchid genera new to Sumatra (Orchidaceae) A. Schuiteman Rijksherbarium / Hortus Botanicus, POB 9514, NL-2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands Summary of the orchid Kuhlhasseltia Species genera and Orchipedum are recorded from Sumatra for the first time. Introduction The subtribe Orchidaceae-Goodyerinae is well represented in Malesia, with about 25 genera and hundreds of species. They are almost exclusively terrestrial plants with inconspicuous flowers, usually growing in deep shade in undisturbed forests. Many seem to prefer sloping terrain with seeping water. Some have very beautiful foliage and with are occasionally (often difficulty) cultivated, being popularly known as Jewel of the Orchids, e.g. species genera Anoectochilus, Dossinia, Goodyera, Ludisia, and Macodes. The of the other either have great majority Goodyerinae uniformly greenor cryptic darkbrown foliage. Although the genera ofthe Goodyerinae are reasonably distinct, it is often necessary to analyse a flowerbefore a reliable identification can be made. As a result they are fre- quently left unidentified, or, worse, they are incorrectly referred to generaof which the name is more or less familiar, such as Anoectochilus and Goodyera. While going through the unidentified and misidentified Goodyerinae in the Rijksher- barium, several interesting discoveries were made. Two of these are discussed below. Kuhlhasseltia cf. javanica J.J. Smith Mamas River Sumatra, Aceh, Upper valley, 1400-1700m (De Wilde & De Wilde- 18264 June Duyfjes , 1979). The genus Kuhlhasseltia, although widely distributedfrom PeninsularMalaysia to New Guinea with about7 species, is rarely collected. This appears to be the first record from Sumatra.

Transnordestina s.n., 44036-900, Feira de Santana, Bahia, Brazil 3Fazenda Rio do Negro, Entre Rios, Bahia, Brazil Abstract The monospecific genus Discyphus, previously considered a member of Spiranthinae (Orchidoideae: Cranichideae), displays both vegetative and floral morphological peculiarities that are out of place in that subtribe. These include a single, sessile, cordate leaf that clasps the base of the inflorescence and lies flat on the substrate, petals that are long-decurrent on the column, labellum margins free from sides of the column and a column provided with two separate, cup-shaped stigmatic areas. Because of its morphological uniqueness, the phylogenetic relationships of Discyphus have been considered obscure.

Raya Jakarta-Bogor Km 46, Cibinong, Bogor 2P.O. Box 8210, Cairns 487, Queensland, Australia 3Author for correspondence: [email protected] Abstract The Goodyera rubicunda complex has broad morphological variation of the floral parts. A revision of the G. rubicunda complex was conducted and three intraspecific groups were recognised; G. rubicunda var. rubicunda which is the widespread variety, G. rubicunda var. triandra, and G. rubicunda var. australis var. nov. Herein, we propose the variety G. rubicunda var. australis from Australia and Papua New Guinea as newly described. Introduction Goodyera R.Br. is classified as belonging to subfamily Orchidoideae, tribe Cranchideae, subtribe Goodyerinae (Pridgeon 2003), containing approximately 98 species that are currently recognised as belonging to the genus (www.theplantlist.org, accessed 2 Jan 2014). Schlechter (1911) classified Goodyera as part of subfamily Monandrae, division Acrotonae, subdivision Polychondreae, and group Physurinae (subtribe Goodyerinae, Dressler and Dodson 1960; Pridgeon et al. 2003). Goodyera species are characterised by their terrestrial habit, horizontal creeping stems, a rhizome about as thick as the stem, rather thick pubescent roots, leaves either in rosettes or spread laxly along the stem, a terminal, often pubescent inflorescence, and a generally pubescent, saccate labellum often with internal fleshy hair-like glands (Comber 1990; Dockrill 1992).

  • Notes on Some Malesian Orchidaceae
    NOTES ON SOME MALESIAN ORCHIDACEAE PAUL ORMEROD,1, 2 MARK A. NAÏVE,3 AND JIM COOTES4 Abstract. Herbarium and literature studies of various orchids from the Malesian floristic zone reveal some new species, synonymy, and the need for a few nomenclatural proposals. Thus, the synonymy of Cestichis halconensis is elaborated; Cymboglossum is found to be the older name for Ascidieria, requiring 8 transfers; Dendrobium appendiculoides is reduced to D. zamboangense; Dendrobium philippinense is reduced to D. gerlandianum; Epidendrum subulatum is reduced to Thrixspermum filiforme; Eria section Polyura is transferred to Pinalia; Eria villosissima is transferred to Mycaranthes; and Myrmechis philippinensis is renamed Odontochilus marivelensis. Six new species are proposed, namely, Dendrobium rubroflavum, Pinalia edanoana, P. kitangladensis, P. pentalopha, P. sanguinea, and P. tonglonensis.
