Membership This is another reminder that membership dues of $20.00 are Caladenia Caladenia, commonly known as spider orchids, is a genus of 350 species of plants in the orchid family, Orchidaceae. Spider orchids are terrestrial herbs with a single hairy leaf and a hairy stem. The labellum is fringed or toothed in most species and there are small projections called calli on the labellum. The flowers have adaptations to attract particular species of insects for pollination. The genus is divided into three groups on the basis of flower shape, broadly, spider orchids, zebra orchids and cowslip orchids, although other common names are often used. Although they occur in other countries, most are Australian and 136 species occur in Western Australia, making it the most species-rich orchid genus in that state. Orchids in the genus Caladenia are terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, sympodial herbs with a few inconspicuous, fine roots and a tuber partly surrounded by a fibrous sheath. The tuber produces two "droppers" which become daughter tubers in the following year. There is a single hairy convolute leaf at the base of the plant. Most species have an enlarged cell at the base of each hair. The leaf may be medium-sized to large, fleshy or leathery, lance-shaped to oblong, but is always simple, lacking lobes and serrations. The genus name (Caladenia) is derived from the Ancient Greek words kalos meaning "beautiful" and aden meaning "a gland" referring to the colourful labellum. Caladenia orchids are informally grouped into those with long narrow sepals and petals, such as the white spider orchid (C. longicauda) and the clubbed spider orchid (C. longiclavata), those with short sepals and petals which tend to hang near the stem, such as the zebra orchid (C. cairnsiana) C. cairnsiana and dwarf zebra orchid (C. pachychila) C. pachychila and a third group with short, spreading sepals and petals such as the cowslip orchid (C. flava) and fan orchid (C. nana). C. nana C. flava Most caladenias are endemic to Australia. Eleven species, ten of which are endemic, occur in New Zealand with one also occurring in Australia. Caladenia catenata and C. carnea occur in New Caledonia, with the latter also found in Indonesia. There are about 136 species endemic to the south-west of Western Australia, 114 of which have been formally described and a further 18 hybrids which have been described and named. In Western Australia, caladenias are found in the south-west from north of Kalbarri on the west coast to the Nuytsland Nature Reserve on the coast of the Great Australian Bight. Their habitats range from cool, moist Karri forest, to swamplands near the coast and to almost arid mallee woodland. Caladenia have generally proven difficult to maintain and cultivate artificially Some enthusiasts have had limited success by cultivating the symbiotic fungus that the orchid requires and by careful use of fertiliser to keep the fungus and orchid in balance..

El ‘infierno verde’ del mapa de Juan de la Cosa caló en la mentalidad europea, acrecentado por mitos de lugares inhóspitos. En un principio, los dorados de minerales valiosos fueron las presas que estimularon el avance de la frontera. Con excepción de pocos ejemplos anteriores, desde el siglo 18, viajeros, coleccionistas, visitadores y comerciantes dieron cuenta de las diversidades botánicas americanas y sus potenciales económicos. El continente recibió a partir de allí las grandes expediciones de inventarios, motivadas por los imaginarios de selvas, los nuevos dorados botánicos y los dineros de las coronas europeas. El coleccionismo de plantas, los herbarios, jardines botánicos reales y las expediciones de inventario fueron los bastiones de museología de plantas.

  • Wa Orchid Spectacular 2017 Four Day Tour
    WA ORCHID SPECTACULAR 2017 FOUR DAY TOUR Tour 1: 7–10 August 2017 Tour 2: 8–11 August 2017 Notes for attendees The four day tour will comprise two identical trips staged one day apart. The first trip departs from Perth on Monday 7 August and will be led by Andrew Brown author of ‘Orchids of Western Australia’ and ‘Field Guide to the Orchids of Western Australia’. The second trip departs on Tuesday 8 August and will be led by Garry Brockman co-author of ‘Field Guide to the Orchids of Western Australia’. The daily itinerary is tentative and may be subject to change. If we hear of particularly good orchid populations that are not currently included it may be modified to incorporate them. Some currently listed locations may also be removed if it is found they do not contain good orchid populations this year. It is anticipated, however, that most locations listed here will be visited during the trip. We will do four planned orchid stops most days but, if time permits, will also do one or two additional opportunistic stops. The amount of time spent at each planned orchid stop will vary depending on the number of orchids seen but will usually be around 45 minutes. Opportunistic stops will generally be around 30 minutes. We will also have two comfort stops each day, some of these coinciding with orchid stops. Orchids listed for each site are the ones that we are most likely to see but are not guaranteed with species/numbers seen dependent on seasonal influences in 2017.

  • Systematics and Evolution of the Genus Pleurothallis R. Br
    Systematics and evolution of the genus Pleurothallis R. Br. (Orchidaceae) in the Greater Antilles DISSERTATION zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades doctor rerum naturalium (Dr. rer. nat.) im Fach Biologie eingereicht an der Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät I der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin von Diplom-Biologe Hagen Stenzel geb. 05.10.1967 in Berlin Präsident der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Prof. Dr. J. Mlynek Dekan der Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät I Prof. Dr. M. Linscheid Gutachter/in: 1. Prof. Dr. E. Köhler 2. HD Dr. H. Dietrich 3. Prof. Dr. J. Ackerman Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 06.02.2004 Pleurothallis obliquipetala Acuña & Schweinf. Für Jakob und Julius, die nichts unversucht ließen, um das Zustandekommen dieser Arbeit zu verhindern. Zusammenfassung Die antillanische Flora ist eine der artenreichsten der Erde. Trotz jahrhundertelanger floristischer Forschung zeigen jüngere Studien, daß der Archipel noch immer weiße Flecken beherbergt. Das trifft besonders auf die Familie der Orchideen zu, deren letzte Bearbeitung für Cuba z.B. mehr als ein halbes Jahrhundert zurückliegt. Die vorliegende Arbeit basiert auf der lang ausstehenden Revision der Orchideengattung Pleurothallis R. Br. für die Flora de Cuba. Mittels weiterer morphologischer, palynologischer, molekulargenetischer, phytogeographischer und ökologischer Untersuchungen auch eines Florenteils der anderen Großen Antillen wird die Genese der antillanischen Pleurothallis-Flora rekonstruiert. Der Archipel umfaßt mehr als 70 Arten dieser Gattung, wobei die Zahlen auf den einzelnen Inseln sehr verschieden sind: Cuba besitzt 39, Jamaica 23, Hispaniola 40 und Puerto Rico 11 Spezies. Das Zentrum der Diversität liegt im montanen Dreieck Ost-Cuba – Jamaica – Hispaniola, einer Region, die 95 % der antillanischen Arten beherbergt, wovon 75% endemisch auf einer der Inseln sind.

You will be surprised how many other members have the same troubles. Plant display and commentary, library raffle and trading table. Due to the growth of the Society over the past twelve months, the quantity of plants received for sale on the trading table has in- creased dramatically. It has now reached the point where the number of plants brought in each month for sale has become unmanageable. Many of the plants are not sold and have to be returned to the owner sometimes in a damaged condition due to the rough handling received in the melee at the table.

Wita Stwosza 59, 80-308 Gdańsk, Poland. [email protected] Abstract. The floristic, geographical and ecological analysis of the orchid flora of the department of Valle del Cauca are presented. The study area is located in the southwestern Colombia and it covers about 22 140 km2 of land across 4 physiographic units. All analysis are based on the fieldwork and on the revision of the herbarium material. A list of 572 orchid species occurring in the department of Valle del Cauca is presented. Two species, Arundina graminifolia and Vanilla planifolia, are non-native elements of the studied orchid flora. The greatest species diversity is observed in the montane regions of the study area, especially in wet montane forest. The department of Valle del Cauca is characterized by the high level of endemism and domination of the transitional elements within the studied flora. The main problems encountered during the research are discussed in the context of tropical floristic studies. Key words: biodiversity, ecology, distribution, Orchidaceae. Resumen.

  • ….Promoting Societies and Orchid Growing
    ….promoting societies and orchid growing... Just a fairly brief update on how to enter the Covid Congress this time folks. We are all so pleased that the entries have started to roll in! Do go and have a look at the website where you can check the current entries for each class. Since the last Bulletin, there have been several questions that people have been asking. So please check the FAQ below and you should find answers to anything that got missed last time! Please, send each entry as soon as you take the pictures, there is no need to wait until the last minute in order to send everything at once. It will make life easier if the images don’t all arrive in a big rush at the end— remember Chris has to upload everything and then organise judging teams, and depending on the number of entries and it can take a lot of time. Entries to: [email protected] website: http://boccovid19congress.org.uk/ We have had good weather here this past week as I hope you have too. A bit more sunshine should help to get the orchids flowering and those spikes that have been sulking for weeks to open! It helps to make everyone feel better anyway. I even have a few Dactylorrhiza coming through, I have been trying to grow these for years with very little success so I am very excited about these ones! These appeared in my Hosta pots last year, and are there again - so hope they will flower again! Central Orchid Society received some sad news this week.

  • Alternative Translation Initiation Codons for the Plastid Maturase Matk: Unraveling the Pseudogene Misconception in the Orchidaceae Michelle M
    Barthet et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology (2015) 15:210 DOI 10.1186/s12862-015-0491-1 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Alternative translation initiation codons for the plastid maturase MatK: unraveling the pseudogene misconception in the Orchidaceae Michelle M. Barthet1,2* , Keenan Moukarzel3, Kayla N. Smith1, Jaimin Patel3 and Khidir W. Hilu3 Abstract Background: The plastid maturase MatK has been implicated as a possible model for the evolutionary “missing link” between prokaryotic and eukaryotic splicing machinery. This evolutionary implication has sparked investigations concerning the function of this unusual maturase. Intron targets of MatK activity suggest that this is an essential enzyme for plastid function. The matK gene, however, is described as a pseudogene in many photosynthetic orchid species due to presence of premature stop codons in translations, and its high rate of nucleotide and amino acid substitution. Results: Sequence analysis of the matK gene from orchids identified an out-of-frame alternative AUG initiation codon upstream from the consensus initiation codon used for translation in other angiosperms. We demonstrate translation from the alternative initiation codon generates a conserved MatK reading frame. We confirm that MatK protein is expressed and functions in sample orchids currently described as having a matK pseudogene using immunodetection and reverse-transcription methods. We demonstrate using phylogenetic analysis that this alternative initiation codon emerged de novo within the Orchidaceae, with several reversal events at the basal lineage and deep in orchid history. Conclusion: These findings suggest a novel evolutionary shift for expression of matK in the Orchidaceae and support the function of MatK as a group II intron maturase in the plastid genome of land plants including the orchids.
