The fifth chapter of the series about Rudolf Schlechter’s South-American orchids introduces us to those botanists and orchid collectors who travelled and worked in Ecuador and Peru and supplied Schlechter with many of the new orchid species he described. As in previous chapters, the biographies and accomplishments of these travellers are preceded by brief geographical and historical outlines for each of these countries. It is worth mentioning that the lives and orchids of such prominent figures in the orchidology of South America as F.C. Lehmann, W. Hennis, E. Bungeroth and E. Ule, who collected in Ecuador and Peru, have already been mentioned in previous chapters and are therefore omitted here.

  • The Phenology of Plants in the Humid Tropics
    The Phenology of Plants in the Humid Tropics P. R. WYCHERLEY1 Abstract Meteorological phenomena (as indicated by cloudiness and hours of bright sunshine) reinforce or modify the relatively small differences in daylength which result from astronomical conditions. Examples of photoperiodism are discussed in relation to this. The 'storm' stimulus (fast-falling temperature and/or breaking of water stress) stimulates anthesis in representatives of several families of flowering plants. The flowering of evergreen forest trees (e.g. Dipterocarpaceae) at irregular intervals is attributed to preceding periods with large diurnal temperature ranges and high maximum temperatures in­ dicating high insolation (which is probably the main inductive factor, because of consequent bio­ chemical conditions associated with accumulation of assimilates and high carbohydrate status). Such flowering is thus not attributed to drought. Flowering in many deciduous trees follows leaf-fall and/or new leaf appearance. Floral initiation may occur during a period when the tree bears only senescent leaves. Leaf abscission, and thus subsequent emergence of new leaves and flowers, appears to be a response to drought. Susceptibility to dry periods in particular seasons, more than in others, may be due to lack of response by new leaves not yet 'hardened' which results in an insensitive period, followed by a phase in which senescence is accelerated by photoperiodic conditions. In this last phase the foliage is sensitized. Following the discovery of vernalization by the chilling of germinating seed (Gassner, 1918) and of photoperiodism or the effect of daylength (Garner and Allard, 1920), the environmental stimuli operative in many flowering plants of the temperate regions have become evident.

    MiScellANeOuS NeW SpecieS iN The pleuROThAlliDiNAe (ORchiDAceAe) CARLYLE A. LUER1 AND A. L. V. TOSCANO DE BRITO2,3 Abstract. Two new species of Crocodeilanthe, C. dewildei and C. steinbachii, three new species of Masdevallia, M. calochrysos, M. driesseniana and M. rostriflora, and one new species of Pleurothallis, P. amentacea, are described and illustrated. Keywords: Crocodeilanthe, Masdevallia, Pleurothallis, Stelis Two species of Crocodeilanthe Rchb. f. & Warsz., This large species is characterized by a thick rhizome, three species of Masdevallia Ruiz & Pav., one species long ramicauls, and one or two many-flowered racemes of Pleurothallis R. Br. and one species of Stelis Sw. are shorter than an elliptical leaf; small, fleshy, obtuse sepals; described as new. oblong, membranous, single-veined petals; and a fleshy lip As discussed elsewhere (Toscano de Brito, 2018), the with erect, broadly rounded margins overlaid with similarly genus Crocodeilanthe is related to Stelis Sw. Vegetatively, shaped calli nearly to the tip. Crocodeilanthe is inseparable from many species of Stelis, Plant large, epiphytic, densely caespitose from a rhizome which is reflected in portions of their DNA. Species of 5 mm thick; roots slender. Ramicauls erect, stout, 18–23 cm Crocodeilanthe are distinguished by morphology of the long, with a close, tubular sheath on the middle third and sepals, petals, lip and column. The sepals of Crocodeilanthe 2–3 other sheaths below at the base. Leaf erect, coriaceous, are developed into a recognizable dorsal sepal, which is free elliptical, subacute, 14–16 cm long including a petiole 1–1.5 of variably connate to the lateral sepals that are also more mm long, the blade 3 cm wide in the dry state, cuneate below or less connate and antrorse.

Ackerman Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 06.02.2004 Pleurothallis obliquipetala Acuña & Schweinf. Für Jakob und Julius, die nichts unversucht ließen, um das Zustandekommen dieser Arbeit zu verhindern. Zusammenfassung Die antillanische Flora ist eine der artenreichsten der Erde. Trotz jahrhundertelanger floristischer Forschung zeigen jüngere Studien, daß der Archipel noch immer weiße Flecken beherbergt. Das trifft besonders auf die Familie der Orchideen zu, deren letzte Bearbeitung für Cuba z.B. mehr als ein halbes Jahrhundert zurückliegt. Die vorliegende Arbeit basiert auf der lang ausstehenden Revision der Orchideengattung Pleurothallis R. Br. für die Flora de Cuba. Mittels weiterer morphologischer, palynologischer, molekulargenetischer, phytogeographischer und ökologischer Untersuchungen auch eines Florenteils der anderen Großen Antillen wird die Genese der antillanischen Pleurothallis-Flora rekonstruiert. Der Archipel umfaßt mehr als 70 Arten dieser Gattung, wobei die Zahlen auf den einzelnen Inseln sehr verschieden sind: Cuba besitzt 39, Jamaica 23, Hispaniola 40 und Puerto Rico 11 Spezies. Das Zentrum der Diversität liegt im montanen Dreieck Ost-Cuba – Jamaica – Hispaniola, einer Region, die 95 % der antillanischen Arten beherbergt, wovon 75% endemisch auf einer der Inseln sind.

The following six phytogeographic regions (at the rank of floristic province) are distinguished and outlined within eastern Indochina: Sikang-Yunnan Province, South Chinese Province, North Indochinese Province, Central Annamese Province, South Annamese Province and South Indochinese Province.
