The genus name comes from the Gastrochilus fuscopunctatus Greek “gaster” (belly) and “cheilos” (lip). It was discovered in 1873 in Burma (My- anamar) by William Boxall, a plant collec- tor for the orchid firm of Low and Co. Low and Co. introduced the plant as Saccola- bium bellinum (it was later transferred to Gastrochilus). It is a vandaceous plant with rather leathery leaves. It may bloom at vari- ous times of the year, especially winter. It produces flowers on short inflorescences, so that flowers seem to nestle close to the base of the Orchid of the Month Gastrochilus obliquus leaves. The most striking Kathi McKenzie feature is its lip, with a gold center sur- rounded by fringe. Gastrochilus bellinus Its roots prefer not to be confined, but allowed to ramble a bit, so Gastrochilus bellinus is best grown mounted. It may be grown in moderate-warm conditions, preferably with just a bit more light than phalaenopsis, and with good humidity. There are a number of other species in the Gastrochilus genus, including fusco- punctatus, japonicus and obliquus. 5 Location, location, location. of a rainforest area is drasti- This is the mantra of real es- cally reduced due to logging, Saving the Wild Orchids tate agents when they tell you farming or mining, it cannot how much you can get for your retain all the characteristics house when you’re selling, or it originally had.

  • December 2019 Newsletter Issue 2 August Meeting 2019, Hoghton Village Hall in This Meeting We Were Lucky Enough to See Two Stanhopea Orchids
    North of England Orchid Society December 2019 Newsletter Issue 2 August Meeting 2019, Hoghton Village Hall In this meeting we were lucky enough to see two Stanhopea orchids. This is quite a rarity at shows due to the flowers being very short lived, lasting on average 3 to 4 days. This genus comprises of around 55 species and 5 natural hybrids spreading from Mexico to Trinidad. The Stanhopea flowers travel down through the bottom of the containers in which they grow, lending themselves to culture in baskets that have enough open space for the inflorescence to push through. In the wild they are pollinated by euglossine bees which use the flowers perfume to attract a mate. Nearly all Stanhopea as a result have extremely strong perfumes which can often fill a greenhouse.

  • An Enumeration to the Orchids and Their Conservation Status in Greater Sylhet, Bangladesh
    Bangladesh J. Plant Taxon. 23(1): 13-25, 2016 (June) © 2016 Bangladesh Association of Plant Taxonomists AN ENUMERATION TO THE ORCHIDS AND THEIR CONSERVATION STATUS IN GREATER SYLHET, BANGLADESH M.M. ISLAM, M.K. HUDA1 AND M. HALIM2 Department of Botany, University of Chittagong, Chittagong 4331, Bangladesh Keywords: Conservation; Diversity; Orchidaceae; Sylhet. Abstract The present investigation deals with enumeration including diversity, ecology and conservation of the family Orchidaceae of greater Sylhet region of Bangladesh. Extensive field trips were made at 11 different sites of this region during early monsoon, late monsoon and winter seasons. Relevant literature and different herbaria were consulted to gather information about the orchids of this region. Orchidaceae is represented in greater Sylhet by 75 species under 49 genera. Out of these, 25 species are terrestrial, 48 are epiphytic, one is saprohytic and one is hemiepiphytic. Presence of 37 monotypic genera indicates a narrow diversity in Orchidaceae of this area. The present investigation revealed that 26 orchid species are restricted and distributed only in Sylhet region in Bangladesh. The currently accepted taxonomic nomenclature, synonyms, habit, flowering time, present conservation status and geographical distribution are provided under each taxon. Introduction Orchidaceae is one of the largest flowering plant families, represented by about 1000 genera and 20,000 species with cosmopolitan distribution, primarily in the tropics and rarely in arctic regions (Chowdhery, 1998). A preliminary checklist of family Orchidaceae for Bangladesh was made by Huda et al. (1999) with an enumeration of 160 species and 2 varieties under 63 genera for Bangladesh. Of them, 106 taxa were epiphytic and remaining 56 were terrestrial.

A key to its allied species is provided. Thirteen species are reported as new records for Nepal: Epipogium japonicum, Goodyera nankoensis, Habenaria davidii, Habenaria wolongensis, Herminium chloranthum, Herminium kamengense, Herminium longilobatum, Herminium pusillum, Liparis campylostalix, Peristylus calcaratus, Platanthera stenochila, Platanthera roseotincta, Platanthera yadongensis. Key words: Habenaria, Herminium, Liparis, Peristylus, Platanthera, Flora Introduction Gastrochilus Don (32: 1825) is a genus of about 60 species (Govaerts et al. 2015) restricted to East Asia, Southeast Asia and South Asia with its centre in southern China and northeast India (Tsi 1999, Pridgeon et al. 2003). It is distributed in the tropical, subtropical as well as temperate zone (Pearce & Cribb 2002, Pridgeon et al. 2003, Chen et al. 2009). This is a distinct genus which is characterized by a monopodial stem, its immobile lip firmly adnate to the column, saccate hypochile, short bifid rostellum, and porate pollinia (Tsi 1999, Pearce & Cribb 2002). Seven species of Gastrochilus are currently known from Nepal, with most of the species occurring in the subtropical to temperate zone and a few species in the tropical zone (Hara et al.

Gastrochilus gongshanensis was, until recently, only known from the poorly preserved type specimen and because the protologue is deficient in several respects, the delimitation of this species has been difficult to inter- pret. During a recent field survey, fresh specimens of this species were collected which allow us to elucidate its key characters. Key Words. Aeridinae, China, Epidendroideae, revision, taxonomy. Introduction Taxonomic Treatment The name Gastrochilus is derived from the Greek gaster, Gastrochilus gongshanensis Z.H.Tsi (1996: 149).

Notes are presented on its distribution, ecology and conservation status, and its distinguishing features are compared with those of allied taxa. Gastrochilus jeitouensis is reduced to the synonymy of G. distichus, and a lectotype is assigned for G. pseudodistichus. Gastrochilus fuscopunctatus is reinstated as an accepted species. Dichotomous keys to this taxonomically difficult group of morphologically similar species are presented. Introduction The monopodial orchid genus Gastrochilus Don (1825: 32) (Epidendroideae; Vandeae; Aeridinae) is identified by the lip, which is typically biparted with a saccate hypochile and broad epichile that connects the lip to the column, two porate, globose pollinia borne on slender stipe and a bilobed viscidium, and a short axillary inflorescence.
