Orchidaceae, Epidendroideae) from Colombia
Polish Botanical Journal 58(1): 347–352, 2013 DOI: 10.2478/pbj-2013-0034 FOUR NEW SPECIES OF ADENELEUTEROPHORA (ORCHIDACEAE, EPIDENDROIDEAE) FROM COLOMBIA DARIUSZ L. SZ L ACHETKO & MARTA KO L ANOWSKA 1 Abstract. Four new species of the orchid genus Adeneleuterophora Barb. Rodr. are described and illustrated, based on Co- lombian material: A. orozcoi Szlach. & Kolan., A. magnipetala Szlach. & Kolan., A. luteyni Szlach. & Kolan. and A. Szlach. & Kolan. emberana. Their taxonomic affinities are briefly discussed. All new entities are placed within a key to identification of the Colombian species of Adeneleuterophora.

Phylogeny, Character Evolution and the Systematics of Psilochilus (Triphoreae)
THE PRIMITIVE EPIDENDROIDEAE (ORCHIDACEAE): PHYLOGENY, CHARACTER EVOLUTION AND THE SYSTEMATICS OF PSILOCHILUS (TRIPHOREAE) A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Erik Paul Rothacker, M.Sc. ***** The Ohio State University 2007 Doctoral Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. John V. Freudenstein, Adviser Dr. John Wenzel ________________________________ Dr. Andrea Wolfe Adviser Evolution, Ecology and Organismal Biology Graduate Program COPYRIGHT ERIK PAUL ROTHACKER 2007 ABSTRACT Considering the significance of the basal Epidendroideae in understanding patterns of morphological evolution within the subfamily, it is surprising that no fully resolved hypothesis of historical relationships has been presented for these orchids. This is the first study to improve both taxon and character sampling. The phylogenetic study of the basal Epidendroideae consisted of two components, molecular and morphological. A molecular phylogeny using three loci representing each of the plant genomes including gap characters is presented for the basal Epidendroideae. Here we find Neottieae sister to Palmorchis at the base of the Epidendroideae, followed by Triphoreae. Tropidieae and Sobralieae form a clade, however the relationship between these, Nervilieae and the advanced Epidendroids has not been resolved. A morphological matrix of 40 taxa and 30 characters was constructed and a phylogenetic analysis was performed. The results support many of the traditional views of tribal composition, but do not fully resolve relationships among many of the tribes. A robust hypothesis of relationships is presented based on the results of a total evidence analysis using three molecular loci, gap characters and morphology. Palmorchis is placed at the base of the tree, sister to Neottieae, followed successively by Triphoreae sister to Epipogium, then Sobralieae. -

A New Species of Elleanthus (Orchidaceae) from Central America
A new species of Elleanthus (Orchidaceae) from Central America Fredy Archila Morales1,2 & Guy R. Chiron3 ________________________________ 1Estación Experimental de orquídeas de la familia Archila 2Herbario BIGU, Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala 3Herbiers, Université de Lyon 1, F-69622 Villeurbanne Cedex (France) ________________________________ Abstract During botanical tours in Alta Verapaz (Guatemala), a plant of the genus Elleanthus drew the attention of the senior author by the color of its leaves, intense purple on their abaxial side. After having thoroughly examined it we came to the conclusion that it was something different from any known species. It is described here as a new species and compared to its closest relative, Elleanthus hymenophorus, by means of morphological descriptions, botanical drawings and photos. Résumé Au cours de sorties botaniques réalisées en Alta Verapaz (Guatemala), une plante du genre Elleanthus a attiré l'attention du premier auteur par la couleur de ses feuilles, d'un violet intense en partie abaxiale. Une étude approfondie a montré qu'il s'agissait d'un taxon ne correspondant à aucune espèce connue. Elle est décrite ici comme espèce nouvelle, comparée à l'espèce la plus proche, Elleanthus hymenophorus. Sa description est accompagnée de dessins botaniques et de photographies. C'est une espèce qui est menacée par la destruction des habitats et une collecte d'autant plus excessive qu'elle possède des caractéristiques faisant d'elle une plante ornementale.

Sobraliinae SCHLECHT. & Elleanthinae SZLACH
Genus Supplement 14: 51-52 Wrocław, 15 XII 2007 Sobraliinae SCHLECHT. & Elleanthinae SZLACH. – classificatory differences* MAGDALENA DUDEK1, Piotr tukałło Department of Plant Taxonomy and Nature Conservation, Gdańsk University, Al. Legionów 9, PL-80- 441 Gdańsk, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. In spite of differences in the structure of the seeds and pollinia, some authors classifiedSobralia with Elleanthus, Epilyna and Sertifera as a members of a common subtribe Sobraliinae (DREssLER 1981, 1993; BURNS-BALOGH & FUNK 1986). SZLACHETKO (1995) separated Elleanthus, Epilyna and Sertifera into the subtribe Elleanthinae (Elleantheae, Epidendroideae). Also, he transferred the remaining Sobraliinae with only one genus Sobralia into another subfamily Vanilloideae. Key words: Sobraliinae, Elleanthinae, Orchidaceae, classification. Members of subtribes Sobraliinae and Elleanthinae exhibit significant morpholo- gical diversity in both generative and vegetative structures. Such diversity is likely to be caused by adaptation to different environmental conditions and various groups of pollinators. It is also the main reason of classification problems described below. Most species of Elleanthus and Sertifera indicate the hummingbird-pollination syn- drome. However, Epilyna and Elleanthus sect. Chloidelyna, characterized by presence of small, white flowers, can be pollinated by hummingbirds and perhaps Lepidoptera (PRIDGEON & al. 2005). Almost all members of Sobralia are pollinated by euglossine bees, although other bees can also serre as pollinators. Some species of Sobralia may be atractive to male euglossine bees because of secretion of specific fragrance. Only two species, Sobralia amabilis and Sobralia callosa, appear to be adapted to hummingbird pollination. For example, lip of S. amabilis is short, flat and open and pollinaria of S. callosa resemble those found in genus Elleanthus. -

With over 200 species, the orchid tribe Sobralieae is a major constituent of the Neotropical flora. As currently circumscribed, the tribe includes four genera: Elleanthus, Epilyna, Sertifera, and Sobralia. Most species of these four genera typically produce long, cane-like stems but differ drastically in flower size and inflorescence structure. -

These analyses divide the family into ®ve primary monophyletic clades: apostasioid, cypripedioid, vanilloid, orchidoid, and epidendroid orchids, arranged in that order. These clades, with the exception of the vanilloids, essentially correspond to currently recognized subfamilies. A distinct subfamily, based upon tribe Vanilleae, is supported for Vanilla and its allies. The general tree topology is, for the most part, congruent with previously published hypotheses of intrafamilial relationships; however, there is no evidence supporting the previously recognized subfamilies Spiranthoideae, Neottioideae, or Vandoideae. Subfamily Spiranthoideae is embedded within a single clade containing mem- bers of Orchidoideae and sister to tribe Diurideae. -

CAMERON The Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Program for Molecular Systematics Studies, The New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, New York 10458-5126, USA ([email protected]) ABSTRACT Parsimony analyses of DNA sequences from the plastid genes atpB and rbcL were completed for 173 species of Orchidaceae (representing 150 different genera) and nine genera from outgroup families in Asparagales. The atpB tree topology is similar to the rbcL tree, although the atpB data contain less homoplasy and provide greater jackknife support than rbcL alone. In combination, the two-gene tree recovers five monophyletic clades corresponding to subfamilies within Orchidaceae, and fully resolves them with moderate to high jackknife support as follows: Epidendroideae are sister to Orchidoideae, followed by Cypripedioideae, then Vanilloideae, and with Apostasioideae sister to the entire family. -
