It is cosmopolitan, but the diversity is highest in the tropics. The family comprises almost 800 genera and more than 20.000 species (Mabberley 2008). Many orchids have been – and still are – much esteemed for their showiness and the Orchidaceae is certainly one of the most important horticultural plant families. Hamburg was the “continental centre of orchi- domania” during the middle of the 19th century second only to the United Kingdom, the global centre of the exaggerated passion for orchids at that time (Poppendieck 2006). -
Key to the Checklist
Key to the checklist • The checklist is divided into four broad categories: pteridophytes, gymnosperms, monocotyledons, and dicotyledons. • Families are arranged in alphabetical order under each plant group. • Genera and species are also arranged alphabetically. • The currently accepted generic and species names are in bold print. • Synonyms are indicated by italic script. Synonyms are listed twice: in the alphabetical listing followed by the accepted current name, as well as in parentheses under the current name. • Species names preceded by an asterisk (*) are exotic plants, some of which have become naturalised in Zambian ecosystems. • Genera and species marked ◆ indicate that they have been cited ex lit. for Zambia by Leistner (2004). • The abbreviations following the plant names indicate the provinces where species have been recorded.

The examination will be conducted in English. Faculty examiner: Prof. Julie Hawkins. Abstract Veldman, S. 2018. Markets, mixtures and molecular methods. Investigating medicinal plant and edible orchid diversity in Tanzania and Zambia. Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Science and Technology 1689. 36 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-513-0376-5. Medicinal plants are an important source of primary healthcare for many people in Tanzania. These medicinal plants are harvested from the wild, and increasing commercial trade poses a serious threat to local plant populations. Currently it is unknown which species are traded and in what amounts. Across the southwestern border in Zambia, the traditional dish chikanda has transformed from a niche product to being a mainstream delicacy. One of the main ingredients are wild-harvested orchids, and these have become depleted throughout the country as an effect of the increased trade. It is unclear which orchid species are targeted and might be at risk of overharvesting. The aims of my doctorate are to map harvest and trade of Tanzanian medicinal plants and Tanzanian and Zambian edible orchids, to investigate whether species that are traded on local markets can be identified using molecular methods such as DNA barcoding and metabarcoding and identify conservation issues arising from wild-harvesting of medicinal plants and edible orchids. -

This research was conducted to study the vascular plant composition, plant communities, diversity, conservation status, species richness pattern along elevation gradient, and spatiotemporal land use and land cover change. A total of 85 nested sample plots measuring 20 X 20 m, 5 X 5 m and 1 X 1 m were established for trees, shrubs, and herbs respectively. Topographic, edaphic and disturbance variables were also collected from each plot. IUCN Red List and a combination of density of mature individuals, habitat specificity, and species local range was considered to assess global and local rarity respectively. Two Landsat satellite imageries from 1986 (Thematic Mapper, TM) and 2017 (Operational Land Imager, OLI) were used. Aerial photographs were used for ground referencing of the 1986 satellite image. -

However, Orchid populations are overexploited in the Southern Highlands, due to trade with Zambia, and also other threats including changes in land use and habitat fragmentation, are prevalent. This study aimed to establish the status of edible Orchids, their diversity, abundance and habitat. Six Orchid genera and 17 species were gathered during this study, contributing 8% and 16%, respectively to the general flora of the study sites. Orchidaceae rank second position among plant families in terms of the number of species. Edible Orchid species contribute 6%, whereas for non-edible ones 10% to the total flora. Two species were found to be rare. These were Habenaria occlusa and Eulophia schweinfurthii . Orchidaceae, Asteraceae and Poaceae represent 50% of the species in the study sites. The edible Orchid species Brachycorythis pleistophylla and Eulophia schweinfurthii are reported for the first time as edible, probably their genera as well. Other edible species include Satyrium buchananii, S. -
7Th International Orchid Conservation Congress
7TH INTERNATIONAL ORCHID CONSERVATION CONGRESS Jodrell Laboratory Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew 28 May – 1 June 2019 Welcome to Kew! The International Orchid Conservation Congress (IOCC) series started in Western Australia in 2001, and subsequent meetings were held in Florida, Costa Rica, the Czech Republic, La Réunion and Hong Kong. At the meeting in Hong Kong, it was decided that IOCCVII should be held at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The title for IOCCVII is “Orchid Conservation: the Next Generation”, and we hope that the focus will be on the importance of involving the next generation of orchid conservation biologists and on the use of next-generation techniques. We are delighted to welcome more than 150 delegates from around the world to share their experiences of orchid conservation with each other. Orchids are among the most highly threatened groups of plants, with threats to orchids including habitat destruction, legal and illegal trade and climate change. As a result, our mission to conserve orchids is of increasing importance – if we don’t act, then we may be the last generation to see some groups of orchids, notably slipper orchids, in the wild. We are grateful to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, for the use of the venue and for logistical support. The Lennox Boyd Trust, the Linnean Society of London and Orchid Conservation International and friends and family of the late Amy Morris provided financial support which has allowed us to provide bursaries for orchid specialists from Developing Countries so that they can attend the congress. We have an exciting and busy programme – with many talks and posters and other events including a demonstration of orchid propagation, a “World Café” session on conservation planning (arranged with the Conservation Planning Specialist Group) and a meeting of the Orchid Specialist Group. -

(Orchidaceae, Habenariinae): general characteristic and research history of the genus Marta Kras* & Dariusz L. Szlachetko Department of Plant Taxonomy and Nature Conservation, the University of Gdańsk, Wita Stwosza 59, 80-308 Gdańsk, Poland * corresponding author (e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract: The genus Bilabrella (Habenarinae, Orchidaceae) was described by Lindley in 1834, but within next years, different authors incorporated it as the section of the genus Habenaria Willd. From 2003, Szlachetko and Kras stated that there were no grounds for distinguishing the sections Bilabrellae and Replicatae. They restored the genus Bilabrella, transfering to it 93 species from the section Replicatae and four species new to science were described. The poor condition of the old plant materi- als, the lack of some type specimens for many species described by Schlechter and problems with a series of transitional forms between some species are only few reasons, why the revision of the genus has not been published so far. Bilabrella comprises orchids found in Sub-Saharan Africa, Madagascar and neighbouring islands. Bilabrella differs from other Habenariinae in its unique combination of features. y Key words: taxonomy, research history, Orchidaceae, Habenaria, Bilabrella, Africa LOGEN y PH 1. Introduction In 2000, Szlachetko and his team started to develop a taxonomic revision of Habenaria sensu latissimo.
