This document has been submitted by the Scientific Authority for Flora of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.* 2. The context of this document pertains to PC24 Com. 8 (Rev. by Sec.). The UK Scientific Authority and the United Nations Environment Programme – World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC) were to prepare a checklist for Orchidaceae, presenting Appendix I and Appendix II species separately. a) This was to be undertaken by generating an output for Orchidaceae from the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families. The output includes accepted names, synonyms and country-level distribution information. b) The dataset for Orchidaceae was provided by The World Checklist of Selected Plant Families. The World Checklist of Selected Plant Families has become an international collaborative programme with more than 150 contributors from 22 countries. The main goal of the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families is to provide high quality peer reviewed baseline data on all accepted taxa included in each family. c) To make the review of proposed changes manageable, a comparison was undertaken between the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families output and the current CITES nomenclature standard references for Orchidaceae. 3. The Appendix I Orchid Checklist was adopted at the 18th CITES Conference of the Parties (Switzerland, 2019). This checklist and the proposed checklist were compiled using the same methodology.

  • Agricultural Plant Diversity of the Orchards Along the Bank of Chao Phraya River and Ko Kret Areas in Nonthaburi Province
    Kasetsart J. (Nat. Sci.) 42 : 215 - 225 (2008) Agricultural Plant Diversity of the Orchards along the Bank of Chao Phraya River and Ko Kret Areas in Nonthaburi Province Kittipong Treetaruyanont*, Wanlop Phosunk and Panom Suthisaksopon ABSTRACT A survey of the agricultural plant diversity in the orchards on the bank of Chao Phraya river and Ko Kret areas of Nonthaburi province was conducted in the year 2005. The soil in these areas was Banglen Series : (Bl, clay and silty clay loam) and pH was between 4.2-6.6. Soil fertility was considered to contain high plant nutrients, ranging form good to very good level, and the quality of water was also good. The total plant diversity of 48 orders, 96 families, 246 genera and 429 species of agricultural plants was recorded. The majority of plants was ornamental plants, 52.57 percent. Agricultural crops were categorized into 3 groups, i.e. native species, threatened species and extirpated species. Variability in cultivars of durians and rose apples were decreased. The threatened species were Kruai (Horsfieldia irya Gaertn Warb), Chomphu Mamiao (Syzygium mallacsense L. Merr. & L.M. Perry ST), Somsa (Citrus aurantium L. var. aurantium ExST), Reo (Alpinia nigra gaertn. Burtt H), and Dipli (Piper retrofractum Vahl C). The extirpated species were Chanthet (Myristica fragrans Houtt. ExS), Clove (Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merr.& L.M. Perry ExST), Langsat (Landsium domesticum), Raksorn (Calotropis giganted R.Br.), Payom (Shorea roxburghii), and purple Chabasorn (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L.). The results of this survey should be further used as the base line for plant genetic conservation policy and for environmental conservation.

    CHROMOSOME NUM~ERS OF SARCANTHINE ORCHID SPECIES OF THAILAND1 by H. KAMEMOT02, R. SAGARIK3 and S · KASEMSAP4 Sarcanthine orchids constitute a large and diverse taxonomic group of predominantly Old World monopodia! orchids. Dressier and Dodson ( 1960) have listed 106 separate genera in the subtribe Sarcanthinae of the tribe EpidendTeae based primarily on Schlecthter's classification, but some of these may not merit recognition. Thai­ land abounds in species of this group, many of which are well known among orchidists because of their desirable horticultural characteristics. The role of cytology in aiding breeding programs as well as in clarifying taxonomic relationships in orchids is generally recognized. According to · Tanaka and Kamemoto's recent tabulations ( 1963; In press), chromosome numbers for 55 species distributed among 15 genera of the Sarcanthinae have been reported to date by various workers. These counts, however, represent only a small fraction of the known species of this group. Species are the basic building blocks for improved advanced generation hybrids. Since cytological data on many of the horticulturally desirable species of Thailand are lacking, an investigation on the cytogenetics of orchids of Thailand was initiated at Kasetsart University in the Fall of 1962. The present paper reports the finding on the chromosome numbers of species of the sarcanthine or V anda alliance. 1. This investigation was conducted under the auspices of the Kasetsart/Hawaii University Contract in cooperation with USOM/Thailand ( KU/UH Project No. 14) 2.

  • Uncovering the Trade of Wild-Collected Ornamantal Plants in Thailand, Including Imports from Myanmar and Lao Pdr
    UNCOVERING THE TRADE OF WILD-COLLECTED ORNAMANTAL PLANTS IN THAILAND, INCLUDING IMPORTS FROM MYANMAR AND LAO PDR JACOB PHELPS B.S (Hons.) Michigan State University M.Phil. University of Cambridge THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE 2013 Declaration Declaration I hereby declare that the thesis is my original work and it has been written by me in its entirety. I have duly acknowledged all the sources of information which have been used in the thesis. This thesis has also not been submitted for any degree in any university previously. _______ __________ Jacob Phelps 08 July, 2013 II Summary Summary Wild-collected botanical resources are widely traded across Southeast Asia. There is growing concern over the conservation of commercially-traded ornamental plants— notably the family Orchidaceae, trade in which is regulated under the Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species of Fauna and Flora (CITES). However, there is virtually no baseline data on their regional trade dynamics or conservation. Between May 2011 and June 2012, we interviewed plant harvesters, traders and middlemen (N=158), made market observations and conducted botanical surveys of Thailand’s four largest plant markets, at Jatujak Market (Bangkok), Chedi Sam Ong and Dan Singkorn Markets (Thailand-Myanmar border) and Mukdahan Market (Thailand-Lao PDR border). The multidisciplinary study provides initial baseline data on the ornamental plant trade, and leverages the case to explore broader themes, including wildlife farming, CITES implementation, and conservation rule-breaking. Surveys uncovered a previously undocumented regional trade dominated by Orchidaceae (87.5% of documented trade), including more than 82,000 orchid specimens of 347 species in 93 genera.

Transnordestina s.n., Feira de Santana, Bahia, 44036-900, Brazil; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new classification for the 114 species Cattleya is proposed, based on and compatible with previously published nuclear, plastid and combined phylogenetic trees. Cattleya is divided into four subgenera, three sections and five series. A key to the infrageneric categories and a table listing all species and their placement is presented. Key words: Laeliinae, Laelia, Sophronitis, infrageneric classification Introduction Cattleya Lindley (1824: t. 33) is a Neotropical genus with 114 species of outstanding horticultural importance (van den Berg 2005, 2008). On the basis of molecular phylogenetic results based on nuclear internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and plastid trnL-F (intron and intergenic spacer), matK and rbcL (van den Berg et al. 2000 , van den Berg 2009, van den Berg et al. 2009), Sophronitis Lindley (1828a: t. 1147) and all Brazilian species previously included in Laelia Lindley (1831a: 115) were transferred to Cattleya (van den Berg 2008). In the last paper, the rationale justifying lumping as a better option than splitting Cattleya in smaller genera was presented. The alternative option of splitting into several genera would the number of narrowly defined genera and create many thousand nothogenera in horticulture.

E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Volatile constituents of four Thai fragrant orchid species, Rhynchostylis gigantea Ridl., Rhynchostylis gigantea var. harrisonianum Holtt., Vanda coerulea and Dendrobium parishii Rchb. f., were examined by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Three parts of each plant sample (the flowers, leaves and roots) were analyzed for volatile compounds using the Headspace – Solid-Phase Microextraction method (HS-SPME). Alcohols, aldehydes, alkanes, esters, ethers, ketones, monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes were identified quantitatively from the volatile compounds isolated from the flower parts. The aromatic compounds isolated differed among the orchid species. The major aromatic compounds of the flowers of R. gigantea, R. gigantea var. harrisonianum, V. coerulea and D. parishii. were nerol (25.42%), 2,3-dihydrofarnesol (34.30%), nonanal (34.69%) and 2-pentadecanone (43.47%), respectively. Keywords: Rhynchostylis gigantea, Rhynchostylis gigantea var. harrisonianum Holtt., Vanda coerulea, Dendrobium parishii, Volatile compounds, HS-SPME, GC-MS INTRODUCTION Many volatile compounds from plant flowers are pleasant to humans and have potential applications as components of perfumes. Thus, there is demand to characterize and synthesize new aromatic compounds to fulfill these purposes.

Generally, there are three varieties with four different flower patterns, i.e., white, white with red−pink spots, white with red blotches and red. The pure red is called R. gigantea var. rubrum Sagarik whereas the pure white is called R. gigantea var. harrisonianum HolH., and the white with red−pink spots or blotches is called R. gigantea. Recently, another color, orange−peach, has been developed. The objectives of this study were to determine genetic inheritance and conduct chemical component analysis of flower color inR. gigantea. Chemical analysis of all colors was conducted to identify major color components of the flowers using liquid chromatography−mass spectrometry (LC−MS). Three major components, cyanidin, peonidin and delphinidin were found in the red, white with red blotches and white with red−pink spots forms, whereas pelargonidin was found only in the orange−peach flowers. Anthocyanins were not found in the white color flower. Hybridization was carried out in order to determine color inheritance in these four−color forms: white, white with red blotches, white with red−pink spots and red.

    Orchid Research Newsletter No. 66 When the Molecular Systematics Laboratory at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, first opened under the leadership of Mark Chase and Mike Bennett as Keeper of the Jodrell, the main target marker was rbcL for family-wide systematic studies of Orchidaceae and other families. Internal transcribed spacers of nuclear ribosomal DNA were used for studies below the family level. Those of us unfortunate to have lived through those days of manual sequencing in the early 1990s know how laborious it was to label nucleotides with radioactive phosphorus 32 or sulfur 35 with all the safety measures that that entailed, pour polyacrylamide gels between two glass plates without even the smallest air bubble, expose the sequencing gel to x-ray film, and then manually call the bases one by one off the autoradiogram, hoping to get 100 bases of the more than 1300 base pairs in the rbcL sequence and then enter them into the computer database. In many cases, the results were ambiguous, which entailed judgment calls. And this did not even include data analysis with software much, much slower than today. All this work produced only a trickle of data and a lack of strong support for many branches leading to the major clades. Manna from heaven came in the form of automated sequencing later that decade. Automated sequencers used the Sanger method, which relied on the introduction of dideoxynucleotides into the growing DNA strand by DNA polymerase, creating fragments separated by size on the gel by electrophoresis. Nucleotides were labeled by fluorescent dyes rather than sulfur 35, and read by a laser.
