Prosthechea Green Hornet ORCHIDS WE SHOULD ALL GROW by Roy Kreugor PROSTHECHEA GREEN HORNET This particular little gem is a primary hybrid of two well known and loved “cockle shell” orchids, cochlea and lanceifolia. The family tree is a little more complicated with name changes in mid stream. First members of the Epidendrum family, this group was moved to the Encyclia heading when epis and encyclias were split. Later, the separate genus Prosthechea was created for the “cockle shell” type orchids. Today, there are about 100 species in this group, found mostly form Florida to Brazil. The plants are sympodial and mostly epiphytes. The distinction all carry is the shell shaped lip, often striped like a cockle shell, and always found at the top of the flower. Green Hornet is a primary hybrid (first generation cross of two species) of Psh cochlea X Psh lancefolia. It is an easy plant to grow in cultivation, easier than either parent. It takes its shape and size from cochlea, and its color, green form lancefolia. Plants can grow to 24” when mature with a typical size of 12-18”. Flowering season is spring to fall, although some will flower almost continuously. Flowers are borne on slender inflorescences up to 18”tall with 4-12 individual flowers opening almost simultaneously. Flowers are typically 3-4”long with narrow pedals and sepals and a shell shaped striped lip. The lip is a dark maroon on the outer side with a cream inner side striped with fine maroon markings. Pedals and sepals are a light green. Each bloom lasts from several weeks to a month. Specimen sized plants are easy to develop since the plant is a vigorous grower. Plants can be mounted or grown in a basket or pot. As with many of the Cattleya related species, I prefer to grow mine in baskets. This allows for heavier more frequent watering and feeding with less risk of root rot or medium deterioration since it dries more quickly and thoroughly. The plant likes bright light and regular feeding while in growth. It sometimes needs a brief rest period of less food and water in late fall to early winter. Grow it outdoors in bright filtered light or indoors on a bright windowsill. .

  • The Genus Brassavola, (L.) R.Br
    The Genus Brassavola, (L.) R.Br. in W.T.Aiton, Hortus Kew. 5: 216 (1813) Type: Brassavola [B.] cucullata [bra-SAH-vo-la kyoo-kyoo-LAH-ta] There are 28 species (OrchidWiz [update Dec 2017]) that are epiphytes and sometimes lithophytes at elevations of from sea level to 3300 ft (1000 m) from Mexico, southern Caribbean islands to northern Argentina in moist or wet montane forests, mangroves, rocky crevices and cliff faces. They are most fragrant at night and many with a citrus smell. The genus is characterized by very small pencil-like pseudobulbs, often forming large clumps; a single, fleshy, apical, sub-terete leaf and the inflorescence produced form the apex of the pseudobulb. The inflorescence carries from a single to a few large flowers. The floral characteristics are elongate narrow similar sepals and petals, the base of the lip usually tightly rolled around at least a portion of the column which carries 12, sometimes eight unequal pollina with prominent opaque caudicles. The flowers usually occur, as a rule, in spring, summer and fall. The flowers are generally yellow to greenish white with a mostly white lip. It is not unusual for dark spots, usually purple, to be in the region where the sepals, petals, and lip join the stem (claw). This spotting is a dominant generic trait in Brassavola nodose. They are easily cultivated under intermediate conditions. Although this is a relatively small genus (28 species), the species show an unusually close relationship with one another in their floral patterns, coloration, and column structure making identification difficult, key to know where the plants were collected.

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.

  • Encyclia Xcordistes Sauleda) from Colombia Is Described
    ISSN 2325-4785 New World Orchidaceae – Nomenclatural Notes Nomenclatural Note – Issue No. 60 November 24, 2019 A Second New Natural Hybrid of Encyclia Hook. (Encyclia xcordistes Sauleda) From Colombia is Described. Ruben P. Sauleda 6442 S. W. 107 Ct., Miami, Fl. 33173 ABSTRACT A second natural hybrid of Encyclia Hook. has been discovered in Colombia and is here described. The genus Encyclia Hook. is represented in Mexico by approximately 46 species, in Brazil by approximately 44 species (WCSP, 2018) and in Cuba at present 41 species are known, all with a high number of endemics. In Colombia only 14 species of Encyclia have been recognized and one cleistogamous variety (Encyclia chloroleuca variety yotocoensis Sauleda and J. C. Uribe). Natural hybrids are common in the Orchidaceae especially in the genus Encyclia (Sauleda and Adams, 1984; 1990; Sauleda, 2016). However, in Colombia hybrids are rare, only one natural hybrid, Encyclia xortizii Sauleda and a highly polymorphic species, Encyclia replicata (Lindl. & Paxt.) Schltr. (Sauleda, 2016a) which appears to be a result of introgression with Encyclia ceratistes (Lindl.) Schltr. (Sauleda, 2016a) have been reported. Considering the high biodiversity of Colombia this low number of Encyclia species is unusual. In Colombia other genera like Epidendrum L. (503 species), Stelis Sw. (406 species), Pleurothallis R. Br. (205 species), Maxillaria Ruiz & Pav. (268 species) have species numbers in the hundreds. One would wonder why Colombia has only 14 species of Encyclia. A second natural hybrid of Encyclia with E. ceratistes has been discovered and is here described. Encyclia xcordistes Sauleda, hyb. nov.

  • The Genus Encyclia (Hooker, Bot. Mag. 55: T. 2831 [1828]) Type: Encyclia Viridiflora [En-SEE-Clee-Ah Vi-Rid-I-FLOR-A]
    The Genus Encyclia (Hooker, Bot. Mag. 55: t. 2831 [1828]) Type: Encyclia viridiflora [en-SEE-clee-ah vi-rid-i-FLOR-a] There are 183 species and 16 natural hybrids (OrchidWiz [update Sep 2017]) that are mostly epiphytes that can be separated into two subgenera (not widely accepted but culturally convenient). Members of the subgenus Encyclia are principally found in seasonally dry forest at elevations from sea level to 1000 meters, while members of the subgenus Osmophytum are found in wet forest from sea level to 3,000 meters. Encyclias are distributed throughout the tropical Americas (including the West Indies, see distribution map below) with the center of distribution being in Mexico. These plants are highly variable, clump-forming, evergreen with the genus characterized by the presence of pseudobulbs; the apical inflorescence; the flowers not exceeding four centimeters in diameter; the lip free from the column for most of its length; the column without a foot; and the four hard pollinia attached to caudicles. The slender, often multibranched, numerous to few-flowered inflorescence, borne from the stem tip, has showy, wonderfully fragrant flowers found in a wide range of colors and shades of yellow, brown, green or rare pink. The flowers have similar sepals and petals. The widely varied, Encyclia viridiflora entire or trilobed lip encircles the stout or slender, footless column, but is never fully attached. These plants are best mounted on branches or tree fern plaques and generally do best in intermediate conditions. Encyclia is part of the Cattleya alliance and is often used in Cattleya alliance breeding.

  • Of Greenish Encyclia: Natural Variation, Taxonomy, Cleistogamy, and a Comment on Dna Barcoding
    LANKESTERIANA 11(3): 325—336. 2011. OF GREENISH ENCYCLIA: NATURAL VARIATION, TAXONOMY, CLEISTOGAMY, AND A COMMENT ON DNA BARCODING FRANCO PUPULIN1-5 & DIEGO BOGARÍN1-4 1 Lankester Botanical Garden, University of Costa Rica, P. O. Box 1031-7050 Cartago, Costa Rica 2 Harvard University Herbaria, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 USA 3 Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, Sarasota, Florida 34236 USA 4 Andean Orchids Research Center “Ángel Andreetta”, University Alfredo Pérez Guerrero, Ecuador 5 Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT. The species-level taxonomy of Encyclia has been disputed considerably because of the great morphological similarity among many of the taxa, particularly in the complex of species related to E. chloroleuca and E. gravida, characterized by small, greenish flowers. Current phylogenetic results are insufficient to assess the natural lineages of the greenish species of Encyclia, and species concepts in this group are discussed here independently from previous schemes of classification and current nomenclatural uses. In Mesoamerica, traditional taxonomic approaches shifted from broad views of species circumscriptions to the recognition of a large number of finely split taxa. However, the relative paucity of specimens available for study led both approaches to fail to appreciate the range of natural variation, with the consequence of nomenclatural inflation and misunderstanding of species diversity. On the basis of a better sample, we reduce the supposedly rare and variable E. amanda to synonymy of E. chloroleuca and discuss the case of cleistogamous individuals of Encyclia referred to E. gravida. On the basis of floral morphology, we suggest that the few documented records of E. gravida may simply represent self-pollinating forms belonging to different taxa.

Studies addressing chromosome variations have elucidated many points regarding the taxonomy of the Orchidaceae. Epidendrum L. besides being one the largest orchid genera, present remarkable morphological, and inter- and intraspecific chromosome variations. Thus, based on a previous report on flower color variation in individuals of E. ibaguense (magenta, pink, white, and red), our aim was to determine its chromosome number and test whether this trait is associated with flower color variation in natural populations on the Tepequém’s Tepuy, Roraima. Root apices were pre-treated with 8-hydroxyquinoline at 4°C for 24 h and subsequently submitted to conventional cytogenetic procedures.

We present and illustrate 11 new records of Orchidaceae from Costa Rica, and propose a new combination in Acianthera for Pleurothallis aberrans. Barbosella orbicularis and Myoxanthus speciosus, previously recorded from Costa Rica on the basis of doubtful vouchers, are confirmed to occur in the country and illustrated from Costa Rican vouchers. Warmingia margaritacea is reduced to the synonymy of Warmingia zamorana, a species previously known only from Ecuador. A new species, Epidendrum zunigae is described. This species is similar to E. guanacastense and E. isomerum, from which it differs by the narrow, lanceolate leaves, the greenish flowers, the apical half of the column purple with the clinandrium white, the sepals 11 mm long, and the creamy yellow, cordiform, acute, bicallose lip, wich is somewhat convex in natural position.
