  • A Locality for Maxillaria Aureoglobula Christenson in Colombia
    ISSN 2325-4785 New World Orchidaceae – Nomenclatural Notes Nomenclatural Note – Issue No. 21 June 5, 2016 www.newworldorchidaceae.com A Locality for Maxillaria aureoglobula Christenson in Colombia. Ruben P. Sauleda 22585 SW 187 Ave. Miami, FL. 33170 ABSTRACT Maxillaria aureoglobula Christenson was described from a cultivated plant without locality. A locality is given for this species. The transfer of M. aureoglobula to an “expanded” version of the genus Mormolyca Fenzl based on molecular analysis is questioned. Calima Lake is the largest artificial lake in Colombia with an area of 70 km². It is located in the municipality of Darién in the Valle del Cauca Department. The lake is part of a hydroelectric project for generating power for the department. Along the road that leads from the lake to the hydroelectric plant, at an elevation of 1480 m, a small flowered Maxillaria Ruiz & Pavon in the section Rufescens Christenson (Proc. 16 World Orchid Conf. 285-286. 2002) was discovered. The plant was Maxillaria aureoglobula Christenson (Orchids, Mag. Amer. Orchid. Soc. 71(2): 125-126. 2002). The species was described from a cultivated plant. No specific locality was given, only Colombia. This paper establishes a locality for Colombia. Maxillaria aureoglobula is also recorded from Venezuela by a color photograph (opposite page 161) in Dunsterville & Garay (1961) as Maxillaria rufescens Lindl. That plant was said to come from the cloud forests near Maracay. Dunsterville & Garay comment “This Maxillaria belongs to a species that is extremely variable both as to the size and appearance of its leaves as well as to the size and appearance of its flowers.” Subsequently several new species previously considered M.

  • Generic and Subtribal Relationships in Neotropical Cymbidieae (Orchidaceae) Based on Matk/Ycf1 Plastid Data
    LANKESTERIANA 13(3): 375—392. 2014. I N V I T E D P A P E R* GENERIC AND SUBTRIBAL RELATIONSHIPS IN NEOTROPICAL CYMBIDIEAE (ORCHIDACEAE) BASED ON MATK/YCF1 PLASTID DATA W. MARK WHITTEN1,2, KURT M. NEUBIG1 & N. H. WILLIAMS1 1Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida Gainesville, FL 32611-7800 USA 2Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT. 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. KEY WORDS: Orchidaceae, Cymbidieae, Maxillariinae, matK, ycf1, phylogenetics, Camaridium, Maxillaria cacaoensis, Vargasiella Cymbidieae include many of the showiest align nrITS sequences across the entire tribe was Neotropical epiphytic orchids and an unparalleled unrealistic due to high levels of sequence divergence, diversity in floral rewards and pollination systems. and instead to concentrate our efforts on assembling Many researchers have posed questions such as a larger plastid data set based on two regions (matK “How many times and when has male euglossine and ycf1) that are among the most variable plastid bee pollination evolved?”(Ramírez et al. 2011), or exon regions and can be aligned with minimal “How many times have oil-reward flowers evolved?” ambiguity across broad taxonomic spans.

  • 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.

  • Cytotaxonomy of the Monopodial Orchids of the African and Malagasy Regions
    Cytotaxonomy of the monopodial orchids of the African and Malagasy regions J. C. Arends & F. M. Van der Laan Department of Plant Taxonomy and Plant Geography, Agricultural University, Gen. Foulkesweg 37, 6700 ED Wageningen, The Netherlands Abstract The three subtribes which are recognized within the tribe Vandeae are represented in the tropical African and Malagasy regions. All taxa of the Vandeae have a monopodial growth habit. The first subtribe, Sarcanthinae, is mainly Asian-Australasian, but a few of its species occur in Madagascar and in Africa. The other two subtribes, Angraecinae and Aerangidinae, are both represented in the latter two regions. The Angraecinae ischaracterize d by the presence of a short rostellum, but this iselongate d in the Aerangidinae. According to earlier authors there is a correlation between presence of the short rostellum and a basic chromosome number of x= 19i nth e Angraecinae, and between the presence of an elongated rostellum and a basic number of x = 25 in the Aerangidinae. The results presented in this paper are placed in perspective with the chromosome numbers recorded by other authors. From the resulting chromosome number survey it appears that only part of the Angraecinae (Aeranthes, several species of Angraecum. Cryptopus and Jumellea) have a basic number of x = 19; some members of the Angraecinae (other species of Angraecum) were found to have a basic number of x = 21,24 and 25. The Aerangidinae is not characterized by a single basic number of x= 25 but by aserie s ranging from x = 23t o x= 27,o f which x= 23,24 and 25ar e the most frequent.

    COLLECTor’s item Aerangis hariotiana by Brenda Oviatt and Bill Nerison Photgraphs and drawing by Brenda Oviatt The Aerangis Formerly Known as ... Aerangis hariotiana can produce a plethora of long-lasting, brightly colored flowers. Grower: Botanica Ltd. 590 ORCHIDS AUGUST 2016 WWW.AOS.ORG WHAT’S IN A name? This plant is better known by its former name; Microterangis hariotiana or even Chamaeangis hariotiana. Prior to that, it was also called Saccolabium hariotianum, and was first described in 1897 as Mystacidium hariotianum. Names aside, this is a charming, floriferous, colorful semiminiature orchid and we are excited to write about it; it’s a rewarding orchid to grow. Our specimen was beginning to bloom and we were sure we could get some excellent photos of this extraordinary plant. Mature, multigrowth plants will produce many spikes and are very long-lasting (read the culture section to find out why no such photo is included in this article). We began doing research about the history of the species and found that confusion seems to be prevalent with regard to it, especially on the Internet. We decided to look at the plant from a different angle for this article. First, some back- ground. The ge- nus Chamaeangis was established by Rudolf Schlechter in 1915 and, even at that point, he divided it into two Brenda Oviatt and sections based on Bill Nerison differences in the flower structure: Chamaeangis and Microterangis. He noted that there were enough differences between the sections that section 1 Microterangis might be elevated to genus level at some point (which was done in now called Diaphananthe odoratissima.

  • Two New Species in the Maxillaria Rufescens Complex from Central America'
    Lindleyana 11(1): 27-33. 1996. TWO NEW SPECIES IN THE MAXILLARIA RUFESCENS COMPLEX FROM CENTRAL AMERICA' GERMAN CARNEVALe,3 AND JOHN T. ATWOOD4 ABSTRACT: Two new species in the Maxillaria rufescens complex are described from Central America. Maxillaria dressleriana Carnevali & J.T. Atwood is related to M. hedwigae Hamer & Dodson but flowers are red-maroon and are held erect on short pedicels, besides other differences in the shapes of the floral segments; it is known from Costa Rica and Panama. Maxillaria moralesii Carnevali & J.T. Atwood is only known with certainty from the Central Valley of Costa Rica and is related to the South American M. acutifolia Lindley but it is a larger flower with clear yellow-green flowers and differently shaped perianth segments. Illustrations and discussion on affinities of both new species are provided. THE MAXILLARIA RUFESCENS complex is widely dis­ borne at or below the mid-zone of the blade; the tributed in the Neotropics from southern Mexico central lobe is usually oblong or oblong-subquad­ to southern Brazil. As a group, the complex is rate, apically truncate to emarginate-bilobed. The characterized by the I-leaved pseudobulbs each pollinarium of the group is characterized by a enveloped with 2-3 nonleaf-bearing sheaths. The horse-shoe shaped viscidium with a thick rim to I-flowered inflorescences are always shorter than the lower dorsal surface, and a broad, thick, su­ the pseudobulbs. The floral bracts are shorter than bquadrate to oblong stipe (type XV of Carnevali, the ovary. The labella are 3-lobed with the lateral 1991).

  • Orchidaceae, Maxillariinae) from Antioquia, Colombia Dariusz L
    Wulfenia 24 (2017): 199 –204 Mitteilungen des Kärntner Botanikzentrums Klagenfurt Two new species of the genus Xanthoxerampellia (Orchidaceae, Maxillariinae) from Antioquia, Colombia Dariusz L. Szlachetko & Marta Kolanowska Summary: Two new species of Xanthoxerampellia, X. anthropophora and X. betancuri, are described based on Colombian material. Morphological characteristics of novelties are complemented with illustrations and taxonomic notes. An updated key to Colombian species of Xanthoxerampellia is provided. Keywords: biodiversity, Maxillariinae, Neotropics, orchids, taxonomy The infratribal classification of Maxillariinae proposed by Lindley (1843) has been a topic of discussion among taxonomists worldwide for over 130 years (Bentham 1881; Pfitzer 1887; Rolfe 1911; Schlechter 1926; Dressler 1993; Senghas 1993; Szlachetko 1995; Christenson 2002; Blanco et al. 2007; Whitten et al. 2007; Schuiteman & Chase 2015). Despite fundamental disagreement on the taxonomic position of many genera and divergence between results of molecular and morphological studies, the separateness of few taxa was rarely questionable. One of these distinctive groups of plants was delimited by Fenzl (1850) who proposed the new generic name Mormolyca for the plants characterized by conduplicate, linear to elliptic-oblong leaves arising from the base of the pseudobulb, the basal, elongate inflorescence consisting of a single flower with dissimilar, free tepals, 3-lobed lip, hinged at the apex of the column-foot with a puberulent, basal callus and 4 pollinia. During the last century, the genus was not recognized only in two classification systems,Schlechter ’s (1926) and Christenson’s (2002). In the broad concept (i.e. Blanco et al. 2007; Whitten et al. 2007), the genus was intermixed with section Rufescens within Maxillaria Ruiz & Pav.

CAMERON Department of Botany, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 430 Lincoln Drive, Madison, WI 53706-1381, U.S.A. *Author for correspondence: [email protected] ABSTRACT. The Neotropical orchid genus Mormolyca Fenzl, as currently circumscribed, encompasses a diverse group of ca. 27species. Many of these were included traditionally in Maxillaria sect. Rufescens, when similarity of floral morphology was considered foremost in their classification rather than the evolutionary history of the taxa. In order to begin revising species delimitation and clarifying the evolution and biology of the genus, we present a phylogenetic hypothesis using sequence data from five plastid loci (rpoC1, matK gene and flankingtrnK intron, atpB-rbcL intergenic spacer, and the 3’ portion of ycf1) and the nuclear ribosomal internal and external transcribed spacers (ITS, ETS). Resulting trees using both Bayesian and parsimony inference are congruent with each other, and generally well resolved. Based on current level of sampling across Maxillariinae, these molecular data support the monophyly of Mormolyca and shed light on the interspecific phylogenetic patterns within the genus. These include an early divergent paraphyletic grade of Mormolyca species successively sister to a clade with at least two definable subclades within. The latter are characterized by two different flower morphologies that are likely related to their pollination systems. Although not all relationships within the genus are fully resolved or supported, these results offer a first glimpse into the phylogeny of a small group of epiphytic orchids characterized by an unusually high level of variable vegetative characters, floral fragrance profiles, and pollination systems.
