COMPETITION RULES 1 Plants registered for competition will be placed in sections for judging by the stewards. Exhibitors may not place plants within the individual competition area. Plants remaining in landscapes will not be judged as competition plants. 2 Exhibitors may enter exhibits in their name, or under a pseudonym. Corporate or organisational names are allowed. Joint entries are not allowed. 3 Exhibitors will be classed as amateur or professional/commercial. An amateur is a hobby grower whose winning will not benefit or be thought to benefit a professional or commercial grower or organisation. Spouses and close family members of professional or commercial growers may not exhibit as amateurs. 4 Judging will be by invited Judges, who will only consider landscapes and registered competitive plants. 5 Challenge cups, ribbons and medals will be awarded. Challenge Cups are awarded in the discretion of Judges to worthy winners. Ribbons are awarded for first second and third placing within classes. Gold, silver and bronze medals are awarded on the basis of absolute merit, and any number (or none) may be awarded at the discretion of Judges. Time permitting, OSSEA Award Judging will also be carried out. 6 A plant may receive more than one award. 2 7 The judges may in their discretion withhold any award if exhibited plants are considered unworthy. 8 Orchids with attractive or variegated foliage will be judged as foliage plants, but if in flower, they will also be considered in the respective floral sections. 9 Landscapes should not contain flowering plants other than orchids. 10 The Chair of Judges has the authority to decide the class of entry of a particular plant. 11 To be eligible for the Yuen-Peng McNeice Challenge Cup, specimen plants should be single plants. 12 Where more than one plant is in a pot or other container or mount, only the best will be judged. In the case of Papilionanthe and strongly terete Papilionandas, up to 5 plants (stems) may be included in the pot and will be judged as a group, see the note at the relevant schedule classes. 13 Stakes or wires must be unobtrusive, must not touch any part of any flower, including the pedicel, and must not extend beyond the first flower on any spray, except in the case of Phalaenopsis and Oncidium Alliance exhibits. 14 Disbudded plants, diseased plants and newly collected jungle plants are not to be exhibited. 15 No exhibit may be removed before the close of the Show without the permission of the Show Manager. 16 Any infringement of these rules may lead to the disqualification of the exhibit or exhibitor concerned. Any protest concerning such infringement or any other matter must be made to the Show Chair, whose decision shall be final.

China 3 Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Menglun Township, Mengla County, Yunnan province 666303, P.R. China Author for correspondence: Xiao-Hua Jin, [email protected] Abstract The phylogenetic position of two enigmatic Asian orchid genera, Thaia and Tangtsinia, were inferred from molecular data and morphological evidence. An analysis of combined plastid data (rbcL + matK + psaB) using Bayesian and parsimony methods revealed that Thaia is a sister group to the higher epidendroids, and tribe Neottieae is polyphyletic unless Thaia is removed. Morphological evidence, such as plicate leaves and corms, the structure of the gynostemium and the micromorphol- ogy of pollinia, also indicates that Thaia should be excluded from Neottieae. Thaieae, a new tribe, is therefore tentatively established. Using Bayesian and parsimony methods, analyses of combined plastid and nuclear datasets (rbcL, matK, psaB, trnL-F, ITS, Xdh) confirmed that the monotypic genus Tangtsinia was nested within and is synonymous with the genus Cepha- lanthera, in which an apical stigma has evolved independently at least twice.

Relationships among all subtribes of Neotropical Cymbidieae (Orchidaceae) were estimated using combined matK/ycf1 plastid sequence data for 289 taxa. The matrix was analyzed using RAxML. Bootstrap (BS) analyses yield 100% BS support for all subtribes except Stanhopeinae (87%). Generic relationships within subtribes are highly resolved and are generally congruent with those presented in previous studies and as summarized in Genera Orchidacearum. Relationships among subtribes are largely unresolved. The Szlachetko generic classification of Maxillariinae is not supported. A new combination is made for Maxillaria cacaoensis J.T.Atwood in Camaridium.

    J. biodivers. conserv. bioresour. manag. 3(1), 2017 POSSIBLY LOST ORCHID TREASURE OF BANGLADESH AND THEIR ENUMERATION WITH CONSERVATION STATUS Rashid, M. E., M. A. Rahman and M. K. Huda Department of Botany, University of Chittagong, Chittagong 4331, Bangladesh Abstract The study aimed at determining the status of occurrence of the orchid treasure of Bangladesh for providing data for Planning National Conservation Strategy and Development of Conservation Management. 54 orchid species are assessed to be presumably lost from the flora of Bangladesh due to environmental degradation and ecosystem depletion. The assessment of their status of occurrence was made based on long term field investigation, collection and identification of orchid taxa; examination and identification of herbarium specimens preserved at CAL, E, K, DACB, DUSH, BFRIH,BCSIRH, HCU; and survey of relevant upto date floristic literature. These species had been recorded from the present Bangladesh territory for more than 50 to 100 years ago, since then no further report of occurrence or collection from elsewhere in Bangladesh is available and could not be located to their recorded localities through field investigations. Of these, 29 species were epiphytic in nature and 25 terrestrial. More than 41% of these taxa are economically very important for their potential medicinal and ornamental values. Enumeration of these orchid taxa is provided with updated nomenclature, bangla name(s) and short annotation with data on habitats, phenology, potential values, recorded locality, global distribution conservation status and list of specimens available in different herbaria. Key words: Orchid species, lost treasure, Bangladesh, conservation status, assessment.

    Epilist 1.0: a Global Checklist of Vascular Epiphytes

    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2021 EpiList 1.0: a global checklist of vascular epiphytes Zotz, Gerhard ; Weigelt, Patrick ; Kessler, Michael ; Kreft, Holger ; Taylor, Amanda Abstract: Epiphytes make up roughly 10% of all vascular plant species globally and play important functional roles, especially in tropical forests. However, to date, there is no comprehensive list of vas- cular epiphyte species. Here, we present EpiList 1.0, the first global list of vascular epiphytes based on standardized definitions and taxonomy. We include obligate epiphytes, facultative epiphytes, and hemiepiphytes, as the latter share the vulnerable epiphytic stage as juveniles. Based on 978 references, the checklist includes >31,000 species of 79 plant families. Species names were standardized against World Flora Online for seed plants and against the World Ferns database for lycophytes and ferns. In cases of species missing from these databases, we used other databases (mostly World Checklist of Selected Plant Families). For all species, author names and IDs for World Flora Online entries are provided to facilitate the alignment with other plant databases, and to avoid ambiguities. EpiList 1.0 will be a rich source for synthetic studies in ecology, biogeography, and evolutionary biology as it offers, for the first time, a species‐level overview over all currently known vascular epiphytes. At the same time, the list represents work in progress: species descriptions of epiphytic taxa are ongoing and published life form information in floristic inventories and trait and distribution databases is often incomplete and sometimes evenwrong.
