  • Leaf Micromorphology of Some Habenaria Willd
    J. Orchid Soc. India, 32: 103-112, 2018 ISSN 0971-5371 LEAF MICROMORPHOLOGY OF SOME HABENARIA WILLD. SENSU LATO (ORCHIDACEAE) SPECIES FROM WESTERN HIMALAYA Jagdeep Verma, Kranti Thakur1, Kusum2, Jaspreet K Sembi3, and Promila Pathak3 Department of Botany, Government College, Rajgarh- 173 101, Himachal Pradesh, India 1Department of Botany, Shoolini Institute of Life Sciences and Business Management, Solan- 173 212, Himachal Pradesh, India 2Department of Botany, St. Bede’s College, Navbahar, Shimla- 171 002, Himachal Pradesh, India 3Department of Botany, Panjab University, Chandigarh- 160 014, Chandigarh, U.T., India Abstract Leaf epidermal characteristics were investigated in twelve Western Himalayan species of Habenaria Willd. sensu lato with a view to assess their taxonomic and ecological importance. The leaves in all species investigated were soft, shiny and devoid of trichomes. The epidermal cells were polygonal in shape but quadrilateral on adaxial surface of H. edgeworthii J. D. Hook. Cell walls were straight except on abaxial epidermis of H. commelinifolia (Roxb.) Wall. ex Lindl. and H. ensifolia Lindl., where they were slightly undulated. The leaves were invariably hypostomatic and possessed anomocytic type of stomata. Additional presence of diacytic (H. plantaginea Lindl.) and twin (H. marginata Coleb.) stomata was of taxonomic implication. Stomatal frequency (per mm2) was lowest (16.01±1.09) in H. edgeworthii and highest (56.84±3.50) in H. marginata, and stomatal index (%) ranged between 11.93±1.14 (H. stenopetala Lindl.) and 27.24±1.26 (H. aitchisonii Reichb. f.). Leaf epidermal features reflected no apparent relationship with species habitat. There were significant differences observed in many epidermal characteristics, which can ably supplement the data available on gross morphology to help in delimiting different Habenaria species.

  • Minireview Article the Current Research Status of Endangered
    Minireview Article The Current Research Status of Endangered Rhynchostylis retusa (L.) Blume: A Review ABSTRACT Orchids bear the crown of highly evolved ornamental floral specialization in the plant kingdom, but have poor medicinal background. Further, Rhynchostylis retusa (L.) Blume is much less studied plant species among Orchidaceae due to its overexploitation in the wild. This epiphytic herb belongs to the tropical areas and kept under endangered category by CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) that points out its abated natural population. In this sense, the aim is to document the past and present researches upon R. retusa highlighting the traditional and remedial uses, and to ignite the conservation awareness among the people. Keywords: Conservation, medicines, mythology, patents, taxonomy, tissue culture. 1. INTRODUCTION Orchidaceae (monocotyledons) are one of the largest families of the plant world extending from tropics to alpines along with a boon of astonishing beauty in their flowers [1]. Orchids are the richest among angiosperms with diverse species number (approximately >25,000) having epiphytes (more abundant, 73 %), lithophytes and ground plants [2,3]. Fossil records of orchids date back to 100 million years ago [4]. Actually the term ‘orchid’ coming from ‘orchis’ (Greek word) meaning testicle was given by Theophrastus (372-286 B.C.), who reported the use of orchid roots as aphrodiasic. Despite of huge family size, orchids are largely exploited and traded for their ornamental flower diversity but less attention is paid towards their remedial properties. According to Reinikka, the first evidence of the use of orchids as medicines comes from Shênnung’s Materia Medica in 28th century B.C.
