AUSTRALIAN ORCHID NAME INDEX (27/4/2006) by Mark A. Clements AUSTRALIAN ORCHID NAME INDEX (27/4/2006) by Mark A. Clements and David L. Jones Centre for Plant Biodiversity Research/Australian National Herbarium GPO Box 1600 Canberra ACT 2601 Australia Corresponding author: [email protected] INTRODUCTION The Australian Orchid Name Index (AONI) provides the currently accepted scientific names, together with their synonyms, of all Australian orchids including those in external territories. The appropriate scientific name for each orchid taxon is based on data published in the scientific or historical literature, and/or from study of the relevant type specimens or illustrations and study of taxa as herbarium specimens, in the field or in the living state. Structure of the index: Genera and species are listed alphabetically. Accepted names for taxa are in bold, followed by the author(s), place and date of publication, details of the type(s), including where it is held and assessment of its status. The institution(s) where type specimen(s) are housed are recorded using the international codes for Herbaria (Appendix 1) as listed in Holmgren et al’s Index Herbariorum (1981) continuously updated, see [http://sciweb.nybg.org/science2/IndexHerbariorum.asp]. Citation of authors follows Brummit & Powell (1992) Authors of Plant Names; for book abbreviations, the standard is Taxonomic Literature, 2nd edn. (Stafleu & Cowan 1976-88; supplements, 1992-2000); and periodicals are abbreviated according to B-P-H/S (Bridson, 1992) [http://www.ipni.org/index.html]. Synonyms are provided with relevant information on place of publication and details of the type(s). They are indented and listed in chronological order under the accepted taxon name. Synonyms are also cross- referenced under genus. Notes are included for some taxa, immediately following information on the types. The distribution in Australia of each taxon is provided using the abbreviations for State botanical districts (Appendix 2). Should a species also occur outside Australia, the countries in which it is known to occur are listed according to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Common Country Coding (Appendix 3) [http://www.iso.org/iso/en/prods-services/iso3166ma/02iso-3166-code-lists/list-en1.html]. Hybrids: The occurrence of natural hybrids in the wild is of interest but has caused some problems in classification. Inter-specific hybrids are treated at the same rank as species following the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (Greuter, et al., 2000) [http://www.bgbm.org/iapt/nomenclature/code/SaintLouis/0000St.Luistitle.htm], but are differentiated by the placement of the symbol “×” between the generic and specific names. In the case of inter-generic hybrids, the symbol “×” is placed before the hybrid generic name. Abbreviations: ! = specimen seen, viewed, studied †= destroyed, dead * = exotic species or hybrids naturalised in Australia ** = exotic species thought to be introduced into or misinterpreted as occurring in Australia References: Bridson, G.

Transnordestina s.n., 44036-900, Feira de Santana, Bahia, Brazil 3Fazenda Rio do Negro, Entre Rios, Bahia, Brazil Abstract The monospecific genus Discyphus, previously considered a member of Spiranthinae (Orchidoideae: Cranichideae), displays both vegetative and floral morphological peculiarities that are out of place in that subtribe. These include a single, sessile, cordate leaf that clasps the base of the inflorescence and lies flat on the substrate, petals that are long-decurrent on the column, labellum margins free from sides of the column and a column provided with two separate, cup-shaped stigmatic areas. Because of its morphological uniqueness, the phylogenetic relationships of Discyphus have been considered obscure. In this study, we analyse nucleotide sequences of plastid and nuclear DNA under maximum parsimony

  • Jervis Bay Territory Page 1 of 50 21-Jan-11 Species List for NRM Region (Blank), Jervis Bay Territory
    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect. All species names have been confirmed as valid species names, but it is not possible to confirm all species locations.

  • Review of Selected Literature and Epiphyte Classification
    --------- -- ---------· 4 CHAPTER 1 REVIEW OF SELECTED LITERATURE AND EPIPHYTE CLASSIFICATION 1.1 Review of Selected, Relevant Literature (p. 5) Several important aspects of epiphyte biology and ecology that are not investigated as part of this work, are reviewed, particularly those published on more. recently. 1.2 Epiphyte Classification and Terminology (p.11) is reviewed and the system used here is outlined and defined. A glossary of terms, as used here, is given. 5 1.1 Review of Selected, Relevant Li.terature Since the main works of Schimper were published (1884, 1888, 1898), particularly Die Epiphytische Vegetation Amerikas (1888), many workers have written on many aspects of epiphyte biology and ecology. Most of these will not be reviewed here because they are not directly relevant to the present study or have been effectively reviewed by others. A few papers that are keys to the earlier literature will be mentioned but most of the review will deal with topics that have not been reviewed separately within the chapters of this project where relevant (i.e. epiphyte classification and terminology, aspects of epiphyte synecology and CAM in the epiphyt~s). Reviewed here are some special problems of epiphytes, particularly water and mineral availability, uptake and cycling, general nutritional strategies and matters related to these. Also, all Australian works of any substance on vascular epiphytes are briefly discussed. some key earlier papers include that of Pessin (1925), an autecology of an epiphytic fern, which investigated a number of factors specifically related to epiphytism; he also reviewed more than 20 papers written from the early 1880 1 s onwards.

    Taiwania, 57(3): 251-262, 2012 Studies of West Malesian Agrostophyllum Blume (Orchidaceae) Paul Ormerod P.O. Box 8210, Cairns 4870, Queensland, Australia. Email: [email protected] (Manuscript received 6 March 2012; accepted 20 March 2012) ABSTRACT: Studies of West Malesian material of the genus Agrostophyllum reveals that three previously described species should be treated as new synonyms of earlier named entities, namely A. arundinaceum Ridl. (= A. cyathiforme J.J.Sm.), A. mearnsii Ames (= A. globiceps Schltr.) and A. wenzelii Ames (= A. glumaceum Hook.f.). However A. formosanum Rolfe is found to be a good species, distinct from A. inocephalum (Schauer) Rchb.f. On the other hand five new taxa have been recognised and are proposed here, namely A. asahanense, A. boeeanum, A. galeandrae, A. maliauense and A. pseudolaxum. KEY WORDS: Malesia, Agrostophyllum, new species. INTRODUCTION (Holotype: AMES!). The genus Agrostophyllum Blume currently Affinis A. djaratense Schltr. sed sepalis brevioribus contains about 102 species (new taxa included) (2.75-3.80 vs. 5 mm), epichilo ovato-suborbicularis, distributed from the Seychelles to Samoa. New Guinea bipulvinatis et angustioribus (non cordatis, excavatis et is the centre of diversity with about 57 named taxa, 4.5 vs. 1.75-2.00 mm latis) differt. though my own studies indicate another 20 (including five infraspecific taxa) require description from that Roots and rhizome not seen. Stem terete basally, island. In West Malesia [Malaysia, Western Indonesia compressed above, upper half sublaxly leafy, 66.3 cm (Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan), Brunei and the long, 0.3 cm thick basally, 1.0-1.2 cm wide across Philippines] there are about 28 accepted taxa, to which upper sheaths.

  • 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.
