An Introduction to the Epiphytic Orchids of East Africa
Sphyrarchynchus sp. Cyrtorchis crassifoHa Schltr. AN INTRODUCTION TO THE EPIPHYTIC ORCHIDS OF EAST AFRICA. By W. M. MOREAU AND R. E. MOREAU. C()IYl,tents. 1. Introduction. 2. Nomenclature and classification. 3. General ecology. 4. The orchid flower. 5. Published and unpublished sources of East African records. 6. Tentative field key to the genera. 7. Annotated check-list of species. 1. INTRODUCTION. Over fifteen thousand species of orchids have been described, the vast majority of them tropical, and the greater part of them epiphytic, that is, normally growing on trees without deriving sustenance from them. But little more than ten per cent of the majestic total belong to Tropical Africa and moreover, so far as is known at present, within that area ground orchids predominate over epiphytic in the proportion of more than three to one. There is reason to believe that these figures are a reflection rather of our ignorance than of the truth. Because the Tropical African epiphytic orchids are not characterised by the magni• ficence and opulence of those of other regions, they have not attracted the commercial collector and certainly are most imperfectly known. Yet the local orchids display a delightful diversity of adaptation and of form. None are flamboyant, but many are beautiful, some are exquisitely dainty and a few are bizarre. They appeal to the same feelings and are capable of arousing the same enthusiasms as succulents or alpine plants. Moreover, anyone who takes the comparatively little trouble required to collect and grow them has the additional satisfaction of knowing that he is contributing to scientific knowledge. -
Acmispon Helleri Notes
Sorrie, B.A. 2015. Notes on morphology of Acmispon helleri (Fabaceae). Phytoneuron 2015-44. 1–3. Published 15 July 2015. ISSN 2153 733X NOTES ON MORPHOLOGY OF ACMISPON HELLERI (FABACEAE) BRUCE A. SORRIE University of North Carolina Herbarium North Carolina Botanical Garden Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599-3280 ABSTRACT Recent field observations of Acmispon helleri in North Carolina point out a number of discrepancies or omissions regarding published descriptions, including stem color and pubescence, leaflet morphology and vestiture, and corolla color. Degree of foliation strongly corresponds with phenology –– loss of leaves and leaflets over time appears to be common. Acmispon helleri (Britt.) A.A. Heller is the eastern segregate of the western and midwestern A. americanus (Nutt.) Rydb. and is restricted to scattered locations in the piedmont of south-central Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and northeastern Georgia (Weakley 2015). It was formerly placed within Lotus, sometimes as a full species, sometimes as a variety (see Brouillet 2008 and Weakley 2015 for synonymy). Observations of living plants at sites in the lower piedmont of Union County, North Carolina, in 2010 suggest that several morphological characters are at variance with published descriptions. The most detailed description available is that of Wilbur (1963); also very helpful are the illustrations in Chafin (2007). Radford, Ahles, and Bell (1968) followed Wilbur in writing their description. 1. Stem color. Neither Wilbur nor Radford, Ahles, and Bell mention this. In the Union County plants, stems are wholly reddish brown. Branches are green, but often reddish brown basally. 2. Pubescence of stems and branches. Wilbur: stems and branches are "glabrate (especially below) to moderately spreading villous-pubescent." In the Union County plants, stems are sparsely to moderately villous throughout and branches moderately to densely villous. -

Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese -
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. -

Traditional Therapeutic Uses of Some Indigenous Orchids of Bangladesh
® Medicinal and Aromatic Plant Science and Biotechnology ©2009 Global Science Books Traditional Therapeutic Uses of Some Indigenous Orchids of Bangladesh Mohammad Musharof Hossain* Department of Botany, University of Chittagong, Chittagong-4331, Bangladesh Correspondence : * [email protected] ABSTRACT The traditional therapeutic uses of some indigenous orchids of Bangladesh are described in this paper. Terrestrial (11) and epiphytic (18) orchids, 29 in total, are used by Bangladeshi rural and tribal people for the treatment of nearly 45 different diseases and ailments. Roots, tubers, pseudobulbs, stems, leaves and even whole plants are used. Some herbal preparations have miraculous curative properties. Unfortunately, these preparations have not typically been subjected to the precise scientific clarification and standardization which are consequently required for clinical implementations. Some of the orchids are endangered due to over-exploitation and habitat destruction. Conservation strategies for orchids and further pharmacological studies on traditional medicines are suggested. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Keywords: astavarga, conservation, ethnomedicine, herbal remedies, rasna INTRODUCTION the underground tuber of Orchis latifolia is used in the drug ‘munjatak’ pacifying cough (Khasim and Rao 1999).

I MADA (Hawaii Biological Survey, Bishop Museum, 1525 Bernice St, Honolulu, Hawai‘i 96817-2704, USA; emails: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]) These previously unpublished Hawaiian plant records report 2 new naturalized records, 13 new island records, 1 adventive species showing signs of naturalization, and nomen - clatural changes affecting the flora of Hawai‘i. All identifications were made by the authors, except where noted in the acknowledgments, and all supporting voucher speci - mens are on deposit at BISH. Apocynaceae Rauvolfia vomitoria Afzel. New naturalized record The following report is paraphrased from Melora K. Purell, Coordinator of the Kohala Watershed Partnership on the Big Island, who sent an email alert to the conservation com - munity in August 2008 reporting on the incipient outbreak of R. vomitoria, poison devil’s- pepper or swizzle stick, on 800–1200 ha (2000–3000 acres) in North Kohala, Hawai‘i Island. First noticed by field workers in North Kohala about ten years ago, swizzle stick has become a growing concern within the past year, as the tree has spread rapidly and invaded pastures, gulches, and closed-canopy alien and mixed alien-‘ōhi‘a forest in North Kohala, where it grows under the canopies of eucalyptus, strawberry guava, common guava, kukui, albizia, and ‘ōhi‘a. The current distribution is from 180–490 m (600–1600 ft) elevation, from Makapala to ‘Iole.
