THREE NEW ORCHID SPECIES AND TWO NEW NAMES FROM COLOMBIA Pedro Ortiz V.* Abstract: Three new orchid species from Colombia are here presen- ted and new names for two species of Telipogon (formerly Stellila- bium) are published. Key words: Orchidaceae, Cyrtidiorchis, Peristeria, Stellilabium, Teli- pogon, Colombia, plant taxonomy. Three new orchid species newly discovered in Colombia CYRTIDIORCHIS GERARDI P. Ortiz, sp. nov. Type: COLOMBIA: Norte de Santander, Silos , La Laguna, ca. 2700 m. Collected by Enrique Poveda, March 2007, cultivated by Luis E. Alvarez. P. Ortiz 1286. (Herbarium of the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Bogotá [HPUJ]). Other mate- rial seen: Plant collected by Gerardo Buff at Umpalá, Santa Bárbara (Santander), ca, 1800 m. Pressed in August 2005. P. Ortiz 1249 (HPUJ). Description: Plant epiphytic, pseudobulbs globose, 2-3 cm long x 1-1.5 cm broad, 1- or 2-leaved, disposed at a distance of 2.5-3 cm along a strong rhizome covered by scarious sheaths, left by the falling leaves, terminating in oblong-ellip- tic, 3.5 cm long x 1 cm broad, obtuse, leaves. Inflorescences 1-flowered, from the stem near the pseudobulb or at a distance from it. Pedicel 1.5 cm long, with 3 adpressed bracts. Flowers olive green, with soft purple-brown hues in the veins at the base of sepals and petals. Lip purple-brown at the base, the rest yellow. Sepals oblong-ovate, acute, the margins of the apical part of the dorsal one in- volute, 20 mm long x 5 mm maximum broad; petals oblong-acute, 13 mm long x 4 mm broad, all sepals and petals 5-veined. Lip joined to the column-foot by a narrow base, enlarged up to 7 mm and then gradually tapering, with an obtuse * Universidad Javeriana. Bogotá - Colombia.

Column green with purple strips at the base, with a short foot, narrow at base, enlarged at the apex, clinandrium not prominent, stigma triangular. Etymology: Dedicated to Sr. Gerardo Buff (in its Latin form Gerardus), who first discovered and cultivated the plant. Distribution: Up to the present it has been found only in the northern section of the Eastern Cordillera of Colombia, Departments of Santander and Norte de Santander. Pollination: The pollinator is not known, but several flowers were pollinated and we hope being able to grow the plants from seed. Commentary: It is interesting that a new species of an infrequent genus appears. The most similar species is Cyrtidiorchis rhomboglossa (Lehm. & Krzl.) Garay, but the aspect of the flowers is quite different and the details of the lip, well presented in Dunsterville’s drawing (Venezuelan Orchids Illustrated), show the differences well. The genus was originally published by Schlechter as Cyrtidium, but it was later found that this name was preoccupied by a genus of fungi, and S. Rauschert changed it to Cyrtidiorchis in 1982.

Ortiz, sp. nov. The latest species of the genus Peristeria to be decribed was Peristeria cochlearis Garay (Orquideologia 7[4]: 199, fig. 75. 1973 Dec. 1972). This genus comprises only 11 species, according to the Monocot Checklist of Kew. It is noteworthy that a new species appears in Colombia. Type: COLOMBIA: Guaviare, Calamar, ca. 200 m. Plant cultivated by Esperanza Mejía de Moreno at Armenia (Quindío). June 16, 2006. P. Ortiz 1263 (Herba- rium of the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Bogotá [HPUJ]). Other material from the same collect seen in the garden of Arturo José Carrillo, at Villeta (Cund.). Description: Plant epiphytic, with an abbreviated rhizome, pseudobulbs pyri- form, 6 cm long x 2.5 cm broad, terminated by 3 leaves. Leaves narrow and acute, plicate, up to 72 cm long x 6 cm broad. Inflorescence basal, a short, 3-flo- wered raceme, pedicels ca. 3 cm long, bracts 1 cm long, subacute. Flowers large and showy, background white covered by many purple dots. Sepals united at the base, the dorsal ovate, subacute, 2.8 cm long x 1.4 cm broad near the base, the laterals similar to the dorsal but shorter (2.3 x 1.8 cm), more longly united at the base. Petals oblong-elliptic, subacute, 2.5 cm long x 1 cm broad; lip concave, hypochile with rounded, erect, 1 cm long x 0.9 cm tall lobes, mesochile ligulate, narrow, ca. 1 cm long, from which arises a straight ligule to which is movably connected the epichile convex, elliptic, provided with two transverse cushions, near the interior margin. Column 1.5 cm long, with a narrow base, cylindrical, apically enlarged with 5 mm long wings, apically with an undulated margin. An- ther not seen (figures 1 and 2). Etymology: dedicated to Sra. Esperanza Mejía de Moreno, of Armenia (Quindío), enthusiastic orchid grower, who grows this plant successfully. Distribution: Plains of the amazonian basin of Colombia. Comemntary: The discovery of a new species of Peristeria in Colombia is an important event, since it enriches the orchid flora of Colombia with a species of a showy genus. Peristeria esperanzae is distinguished from all other species of the genus by having very open flowers, the other species having a very concave and closed shape. Undoubdtedly in this area, quite inaccessible now, numerous species new to science are hidden. 130 ORQUIDEOLOGÍA XXV(2), 2008 Literature: HOOKER, J.D. 1831.

TELIPOGON ALVAREZII P. Ortiz, sp. nov. Type: COLOMBIA: Cundinamarca, Fómeque, 2400 m. Plant collected by Luis E. Alvarez, Sept. 23, 2007, P. Ortiz 1287 (Herbarium of the Pontificia Universi- dad Javeriana, Bogotá [HPUJ]). Description: Plant a twig epiphyte, small, 3-4 cm tall, roots flexuous, rather thick, glabrous. Stem abbreviated, with few basal, fleshy, leaves, up to 24 mm long x 8 mm broad, oblong-elliptic, the apex acute. Inflorescences two, apical, few-flowered (1-2 flowers developped, 1 embrionary), rachis terete, bracts con- cave, acute, 5 mm long. Flowers small, yellow with purple veins. Sepals yellow- green, oblong-ovate, the apex acute, 1-nerved, the vein externally prominent, 4 mm long x 2 mm broad near the base. Petals ovate with acute apex, with 5 purple veins, without reticulation, 6 mm long x 4 mm broad; lip similar to the pe- tals, a little broader, with 5 purple veins, the central with short transversal veins, without a callus, 6 mm long x 5 mm broad. Column purple, short, the base tere- te, the apex enlarged, 3-lobed, with thick lobes, externally very shortly strigose, the lateral lobes trapeziform, the central subquadrate, with long hairs at the apex of the lateral lobes. Anther rounded, the apex indented. Stigma subquadrate, pollinia typical of the genus. Etymology: dedicated to its discoverer Sr. Luis Eduardo Álvarez. Distribution: Eastern Cordillera of Colombia, central zone. ORQUIDEOLOGÍA XXV(2), 2008 131 Commentary: This species is noteworthy mainly for two features: first of all due to its truly tiny size. No doubt it is the smallest-flowered Colombian Telipogon species, since the flowers have a transversal diameter of 13 mm. Secondly, the shape of the column is unique among the Colombian species of this genus, ha- ving a trilobed apex, with trapeziform lateral lobes and quadrate middle lobe, all fleshy, externally very shortly strigose. Telipogon vieirae Dodson & Escobar possesses in the column two wings that resemble airplane wings, but they differ completely from the lobes of T. alvarezii. The flower which most closely resem- bles this new species is the Costarican and Panamanian Telipogon parvulus C. Schweinf., also a small flowered species, as its name tells it, which also has a column with lateral wings, but possesses a very characteristic callus at he base of the lip and different venation. The original drawing of T. parvulus can be seen in the web, in the page of Harvard University (HUH Publications Index) and photos and drawing in Orquideología 17(2):100-102. 1987. Renaming of two species If the species previously assigned to the genus Stellialium are trasnferred to the genus Telipogon, as DNA anylisis suggests, it becomes necessary to give new na- mes to the following species.

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.

ACKERMAN Department of Biology, University of Puerto Rico, PO Box 23360 San Juan, PR 00931-3360, USA [email protected] ABSTRACT. Three species of Orchidaceae are described as new to science: a Telipogon and a Lankesterella from the Dominican Republic and an Encyclia from Cuba. Telipogon niri is based on material collected by Donald Dod from the Cordillera Central A rare species, T. niri was previously recognized as Stellilabium minutiflorum (Kraenzl.) Garay, a distinct species from Central America. The generic name has changed due to unequivocal molecular evidence offered by Norris Williams, and the specific epithet honors Dr. Mark Nir, an avid student of Caribbean orchids. Lankesterella glandula is also based on material collected by Dod from the Cordillera Central. Thus far known only from the type collection, it is the second representative of the genus in Hispaniola. Encyclia monteverdensis is described from 19th century Charles Wright collections from Monte Verde, Cuba. The combination, Dendrophylax filiformis (Sw.) Carlsward & Whitten, suffers as a later homonym and is replaced by the next available name in the new combination Dendrophylax mon- teverdi (Rchb. f.) Ackerman & Nir. Cyclopogon miradorensis Schltr. is reported for the island of Dominica; Cranichis ricartii Ackerman is noted for the island of Guadeloupe; Cranichis ovata Wickstr. and Psilochilus macrophyllus (Lindl.) Ames are noted for Montserrat; and Trinidad is another locality for C. ovata. In addi- tion, Eurystyles domingensis Dod and two Malaxis species are added to the Cuban flora: M.

The Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, Sarasota, Florida, U.S.A [email protected] ABSTRACT. Taxonomic work has been historically regarded as a two-fold discipline. The first, which is basically aimed at answering the question about the diversity in whatever group under study, includes most of the “biological” questions of the research. Understanding of genetic and morphological variation, structure of populations and life cycles, biogeography and phylogeography, ecological modeling, pollination and other biological components is required to define the relationships among the taxa of the group and eventually to describe their diversity. The second part of the work consists in applying a correct name to all of the organisms as they result from the biological work.

    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.

    Orchidaceae: Maxillariinae) Based on Combined Molecular Data Sets

    LANKESTERIANA 13(1–2): 1—11. 2013 MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS OF MORMOLYCA (ORCHIDACEAE: MAXILLARIINAE) BASED ON COMBINED MOLECULAR DATA SETS RAFAEL ARÉVALO* & KENNETH M. 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.

The former species was previsouly known under the name Sigmatostalix poikilostalix, and the latter as Stellilabium helleri. The rediscovery of another Mexican orchid, Plectrophora alata, is also reported, having been registered in the country 75 years ago, but not collected since then, and presumed extinct. These three species were recently discovered in the rainforest of the Tacaná volcano region, in Chiapas.

Phylogenetic relationships of Telipogon Kunth, Ornithocephalus Hook. and related genera (Orchidaceae: Oncidiinae) were evaluated using parsimony analyses of data from the internal transcribed spacers of nuclear ribosomal (nrITS DNA) and three plastid regions (matK, trnL-F, and the atpB-rbcL intergenic spacer region). In addition to an analysis of 81 OTU’s for ITS only, we used a matrix of 30 taxa for combined nuclear and plastid analyses. Stellilabium is embedded within Telipogon and should be merged with the latter genus.
