In the case of Bulbophyllum sections Hop- landra and Peltopus, to which the two species here described belong, paral- lels can be drawn especially with spe- cies of Masdevallia. The superfi cial re- semblance is mainly due to the rela- tively large, often caudate sepals and insignifi cant petals in both.

    Bulbophyllum

    Bulbophyllum Introduction ::: Bulbophyllum are the largest genus in the orchid family with species deriving from the high and low altitude rain and cloud forests of most tropical and subtropical countries. They have tremendous variation in their growth habit, ranging from fully terrestrial species to giant epiphytic climbers. They can bloom directly from the rhizome or the growth, depending on the species. Whilst it seems they are a diverse group of plants, they can mostly be grown together. They are a good genus to cultivate and relatively forgiving. Pot type: These orchids can be grown mounted on slabs of cork or tree fern. However, all the species can be grown in shallow pots, or even baskets. One requirement is to retain enough moisture at the root, as most species don’t like to dry out. The rhizome can be trained to stay in the pot by bending them, eventually cutting the old bulbs and leaving them in place, so they will provide additional growth in the pot. Sphagnum has been popular because it retains a lot of moisture, which is what these plants prefer when in active growth; however when it decays or starts to retain too many salts, the plants will have problems. One common problem being rot, for some more sensitive species, sphagnum will have a too low pH, resulting in either rhizome or emerging growth rot. Growers then start to keep the sphagnum dryer to prevent the rot, but it precludes a strong, fast growth. Orchiata has a higher pH, retains enough moisture and due to Orchiata’s longevity there is no need to disturb the plant for some years.

Ravichandran1 1 Department of Botany, Centre for Botanical Research, The Madura College (Autonomous), Madurai 625011, Tamil Nadu, India; Email: [email protected] Abstract Bulbophyllum aureoflavum, a new orchid from Western Ghats of southern India, is described and illustrated. The new species, Bulbophyllum aureoflavum, is rare and known presently only from the type locality in southern Western Ghats. This species is related to B. elegantulum and B. fischeri, but differs by having a thick rhizome, subglobose pseudopbulb, bendant filiform scape, and a light golden yellowish, glabrous flower. Key words: Bulbophyllum aureoflavum, new species, pantropical, taxonomy. Introduction Bulbophyllum Thouars is one of the largest hitherto known species from India or even genera of orchids with over 1700 species southeastern Asia. Consequently, we described it distributed pantropically in the Old World as a new species. (Dressler, 1993; Sieder et al., 2007; Chen et al., 2009). Bulbophyllum is the second largest Bulbophyllum aureoflavum Karuppusamy & angiosperm genus in India, represented by about Ravichandran, sp. nov.

The New Caledonian biodiversity hotspot contains many micro-hotspots that exhibit high plant micro- endemism, and that are facing different types and intensities of threats. The Belep archipelago, and especially Île Art, with 24 and 21 respective narrowly endemic species (1 Extinct,21Critically Endangered and 2 Endangered), should be considered as the most sensitive micro-hotspot of plant diversity in New Caledonia because of the high anthropogenic threat of fire. Nano-hotspots could also be defined for the low forest remnants of the southern and northern plateaus of Île Art. With an average rate of more than one new species described for New Caledonia each month since January 2000 and five new endemics for the Belep archipelago since 2009, the state of knowledge of the flora is steadily improving.

    Orchid of the Month for June, 2015 Oncidium Longipes by Bruce Adams

    Orchid of the Month for June, 2015 Oncidium Longipes by Bruce Adams Figure 1: Oncidium longipes When I first fell in love with orchids, about forty years ago, Oncidium was my favorite genus. I loved the intricate flowers on long sprays, often with a wonderful fragrance. At that time, I worked as a volunteer in the orchid house at Planting Fields Arboretum. After repotting plants, I had the opportunity to take home back bulbs, and received pieces of Oncidium sphacelatum, O. flexuosum, and others that I can no longer remember. Every year they had an orchid auction, and for the extravagant price of five dollars, I purchased a multi-lead plant of O. ornithorhyncum. I became familiar with many of the various species, and at the time was a bit of an Oncidium expert. Forty years later, I’ve forgotten much, and with the recent changes in nomenclature maybe I wasn’t ever really an Oncidium expert, but rather a Trichocentrum, Gomesa, and Tolumnia expert! What hasn’t changed is my fondness for this vast genus (or group of genera). Plants can get quite large, such as Oncidium sphacelatum, which can easily can fill a twelve-inch pot, sending out three foot spikes with hundreds of flowers. But there are also miniatures like Oncidium harrisonianum, which can be contained in a three or four inch pot and sports short sprays of pretty little yellow flowers with brown spots. In fact, most Oncidium flowers are a variation of yellow and brown, although Oncidium ornithorhyncum produces pretty purple pink flowers, while Oncidium phalaenopsis and its relatives have beautiful white to red flowers, often spotted with pink.

Patterns of morphological variation within D. kingianum are consistent with a single variable species that expresses clinal variation, with short-growing plants in the south and taller plants in the northern part of the distribution.

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.

    Nambour Orchid News FebruaryMay 2018 2018 Judges Choice - April - Bulbophyllum medusae. This species is epiphytic and lithophytic. It grows on limestone rocks in Thailand, western Malaysia, the islands of Sumatra and Borneo, Singapore, and the Philippines. I purchased this plant from Robert Trost at our Species Show in November 2011. It had three pseudobulbs growing in an 80mm pot, and sat and sulked for a year before starting to grow. It flowered for the first time in April 2014 with two inflorescences. May 2016, eight inflorescences, and later that year was potted up into the current size saucer, 260 x 50 mm. The plant has doubled in size since then. It is growing in a mixture of perlite and peat at a ratio of 12-1 with small amounts of medium bark, charcoal, diatomite and coconut pieces, with some gravel on top. It is under 70 percent shadecloth during summer, with a layer of solar weave added for winter. Watering is done to suit weather conditions, every second or third day in warmer weather, in cold conditions about once a week. I use a small amount of Plantacote Top K controlled release fertiliser twice a year, and use various foliar fertilisers at half strength every two weeks. Once a month I use a systemic fungicide, next month contact insecticide, following month contact fungicide, then systemic insecticide. Mid April the plant had four inflorescences open, but still lots of buds. Then, with good timing, two days before our meeting, nineteen inflorescences opened. At the meeting, a panel of judges considered the plant for an award, and it received an HCC and ACC.
