Tis is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Tis report reviews the European, National, and Regional catalogues of protected species, focusing specifcally on the Orchidaceae family to determine which species seem to be well-protected and where they are protected. Moreover, this examination highlights which species appear to be underprotected and therefore need to be included in some catalogues of protection or be catalogued under some category of protection. Te national and regional catalogues that should be implemented are shown, as well as what species should be included within them. Tis report should be a helpful guideline for environmental policies about orchids conservation in Spain, at least at the regional and national level. Around 76% of the Spanish orchid fora are listed with any fgure of protection or included in any red list, either nationally (about 12-17%) or regionally (72%).

    Watsonia 14 (1982), 79-100

    Walsonia , 14, 79-100 (\982) 79 Book Reviews Flowers of Greece and the Balkans. A field guide. Oleg Polunin. Pp. xv+592 including 62 pages of line drawings and 21 maps, with 80 colour plates. Oxford University Press, Oxford. 1980. Price £40.00 (ISBN 0-19- 217-6269). This latest of Oleg Polunin's Field guides to the European flora presents a concise, but by no means superficial, picture of the flowering plants and conifers of the Balkan peninsula. The area that is covers takes in the whole of Greece (including the East Aegean Islands, excluded from Flora Europaea), Turkey-in-Europe, Albania, Bulgaria, Jugoslavia as far north as the River Sava, and the small portion of Romania that lies south and east of the River Danube. The author has condensed his account of the rich and varied flora of the region, together with the associated mass of published material, into a form that is attractive, comprehensible and useful to the amateur botanist. A book of this type has been badly needed, as the available floristic texts on the Balkans tend to be over 50 years old, scarce, extremely expensive and written in a foreign language, often Latin. However, the most significant attribute of this book is not that it gives access to diffuse and obscure information, but that it provides a radical alternative to popular botanical accounts of Greece which emphasize the lowland spring flora, notably the orchids and other petaloid monocots. Based on the author's many years of botanical experience and extensive travel in the region, Flowers of Greece and the Balkans demonstrates the wide range of flora and vegetation that the amateur botanist can expect to see in the Balkan peninsula.

In the late 1980s and during the 1990s, mowing ceased and the area was gradually overgrown by shrubs and trees. Both MPs have been regularly mowed every year since 1999.

E-mail [email protected] Received: 3 November 2011 Returned for revision: 9 December 2011 Accepted: 1 March 2012 Published electronically: 25 April 2012 † Background and aims Tribe Orchideae (Orchidaceae: Orchidoideae) comprises around 62 mostly terrestrial genera, which are well represented in the Northern Temperate Zone and less frequently in tropical areas of both the Old and New Worlds. Phylogenetic relationships within this tribe have been studied previously using only nuclear ribosomal DNA (nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer, nrITS). However, different parts of the phylogenetic tree in these analyses were weakly supported, and integrating information from different plant genomes is clearly necessary in orchids, where reticulate evolution events are putatively common. The aims of this study were to: (1) obtain a well-supported and dated phylogenetic hypothesis for tribe Orchideae, (ii) assess appropriateness of recent nomenclatural changes in this tribe in the last decade, (3) detect possible examples of reticulate evolution and (4) analyse in a temporal context evolutionary trends for subtribe Orchidinae with special emphasis on pollination systems.

    Orchids: 2017 Global Ex Situ Collections Assessment

    Orchids: 2017 Global Ex situ Collections Assessment Botanic gardens collectively maintain one-third of Earth's plant diversity. Through their conservation, education, horticulture, and research activities, botanic gardens inspire millions of people each year about the importance of plants. Ophrys apifera (Bernard DuPon) Angraecum conchoglossum With one in five species facing extinction due to threats such (Scott Zona) as habitat loss, climate change, and invasive species, botanic garden ex situ collections serve a central purpose in preventing the loss of species and essential genetic diversity. To support the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation, botanic gardens create integrated conservation programs that utilize diverse partners and innovative techniques. As genetically diverse collections are developed, our collective global safety net against plant extinction is strengthened.

Orchids The diversity, stunning flowers, seductiveness, size, and ability to hybridize are all traits which make orchids extremely valuable Orchids (Orchidaceae) make up one of the largest plant families to collectors, florists, and horticulturists around the world. on Earth, comprising over 25,000 species and around 8% of all Over-collection of wild plants is a major cause of species flowering plants (Koopowitz, 2001). Orchids naturally occur on decline in the wild. Orchids are also very sensitive to nearly all continents and ecosystems on Earth, with high environmental changes, and increasing habitat loss and diversity found in tropical and subtropical regions.
