  • A PARTIAL HISTORY of ODONTOGLOSSUMS in GREAT BRITAIN by Brian Ritterhausen
    page 1-2 Odontoglossum Alliance A PARTIAL HISTORY OF ODONTOGLOSSUMS IN GREAT BRITAIN by Brian Ritterhausen Odontoglossums belong to the enormous sub tribe Oncidinnae whose main genera also include Oncidium, Miltonia and Cochlioda. The genus Odontoglossum consist of about one hundred known species. These are distributed throughout South America at altitudes of between 1,500 and 2, 750 meters, in cloud forest areas close to the equator in Columbia, Ecuador and Peru. In these tropical regions where is little difference between summer and winter months as we know them. The climate can be considered idyllic, with almost permanent spring all year round. Some species also occur further north, crossing the Panama isthmus into Guatemala and as far as northern Mexico, always growing at high attitudes, very seldom to be found in the tropical lowlands. The first odontoglossum was discovered by Humboldt and Bonpland. Friedrich Heinrich Alexander Baron von Humboldt was born in Germany in 1769, and before his death in 1859 he had successfully explored enormous areas of South America. In his lifetime he was to discover 2, 000 rivers, mountains, plants, animals, ocean currents, and even a crater on the moon named after him. In 1799 Humboldt teamed up with the Frenchman, Aime Bonpland, together they trA-veled to Venezuela on a trip of exploration and discovery. Although they spent only five years on the South American mainland they covered a very large area. upon their return to Europe they brought with the over 60,000 specimens of which no less than 3,000 were new plants unknown to science.

Of all the families of plants orchids are the largest. There are an estimated 750 to 1,000 genera and more than 25,000 species of orchids known today, with the number growing each year! The largest number of species is found in the Dendrobium (1,500 spp), Bulbophyllum (1,500 spp), and Pleurothalis (1,000 spp) genera. They are found on every continent in the world with the largest variety found in Asia. There are even species which use hot springs in Greenland to grow. Orchids can be epiphytic (growing high in the trees), terrestrial (growing in the ground), lithophytes (grow on rocks), and a few are saprophytic (living off decaying vegetation). The family is prized for its beautiful and diverse flowers. The only plant with an economic value to the common man is vanilla, which is a commonly enjoyed flavoring. The hybridizing of these flowers has become a major economic force worldwide for cut flowers and cultivation of plants by hobbyists.
