For over 35 years the flora of the Arnside and Silverdale AONB has been recorded. First by Dr Margaret Baeker and Charles Bromley Webb followed by Julie Clarke who records for the BSBI. Geoffrey Halliday recorded the Cumbrian tetrads (2km squares) and Eric Greenwood the Lancashire ones for their Floras. Ken and I first got involved when we helped Charles Bromley Webb put all his records onto a computer. Julie and I went on to follow in his footsteps as the botanical recorders for the Arnside and District Natural History Society. Aided by a willing band of amateur botanists we have tried to record every species growing in each one-kilometre square (Monad) of the AONB and to record its progress through time. I suspect that there is still plenty out there to be discovered. We have not managed to cover all the squares. This is an attempt to make some of the knowledge we have gained available to the wider public.

Twenty of the 45 9 monitored Danish orchids showed a significant decrease in abundance over the past 30 years (16, if only 10 orchids with at least 50 observations each are selected), thus corroborating the previous observations of 11 declining orchid abundances at European scale. Generally, there was a significant negative effect of 12 overgrowing with tall-growing herbs and shrubs on the abundance of Danish orchids. 13 14 Keywords: Danish orchid species, Danish Red List, National Orchid Monitoring Program, Danish Orchid 15 Database, citizen science, monitoring, vegetation, population size, population trend, plant abundance, 16 plant diversity, pressures on orchid sites 1 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.04.01.019455; this version posted April 2, 2020.

  • How Are the Flower Structure and Nectar Composition of the Generalistic Orchid Neottia Ovata Adapted to a Wide Range of Pollinators?

Abstract: Plant-pollinator interactions significantly influence reproductive success (RS) and drive the evolution of pollination syndromes. In the context of RS, mainly the role of flower morphology is touched. The importance of nectar properties is less studied, despite its significance in pollination effectiveness. Therefore, the aim of this study was to test selection on flower morphology and nectar chemistry in the generalistic orchid Neottia ovata. In 2019–2020, we measured three floral displays and six flower traits, pollinaria removal (PR), female reproductive success (FRS), and determined the soil properties. The sugars and amino acids (AAs) were analyzed using the HPLC method. Data were Citation: Brzosko, E.; Bajguz, A.; analyzed using multiple statistical methods (boxplots, ternary plot, one-way ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis Chmur, M.; Burzy´nska,J.; test, and PCA).

  • The Ability of Spontaneous Autogamy in Four Orchid Species: Cephalanthera Rubra, Neottia Ovata, Gymnadenia Conopsea, and Platanthera Bifolia

K. Ciołkowskiego 1J, 15-245 Białystok, Poland Received February 28, 2017; revision accepted June 13, 2017 The breeding system in Orchidaceae generates many questions about the selfing potential of its representatives. We investigated the ability of spontaneous autogamy of four orchid species: Cephalanthera rubra and Neottia ovata of the Neottieae tribe and Gymnadenia conopsea and Platanthera bifolia of the Orchideae tribe. These species represent diverse specializations of the gynostemium architecture. The self-compatibility and properties of auto- gamous seeds were determined in a bagging experiment and seed development analysis. After induced autogamy, a high level of fruiting (80-100%) was noted in all of the four study species. C. rubra, N. ovata, and G. conopsea are completely self-compatible, and P. bifolia is suggested to be partially self-compatible. If autogamy occurred, inbreeding depression and resource limitation on seed development appeared only in the two Orchideae species. Independent of flower specialization, both Neottieae species and P. bifolia were completely allogamous, whereas G.
