Hochr Orchid conservation in Xishuangbanna, China: species diversity, assessing endangerment status and conservation prospects Dr. JiangYun GAO 高江云 博士 研究员 Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences Ex Situ Conservation & Reintroduction Group http://ecrg.groups.xtbg.cn/ Tel：0086 691 8716757 Email：[email protected] The Next 50 Years (A Joint Meeting of ATBC and OTS) 24 June 2013, San Jose Location Xishuangbanna is included in the Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspots and contains over 5000 species of vascular plants, comprising 16 percent of China’s total plant diversity (Cao et al., 2006) Xishuangbanna is one of the most orchid-rich areas in China The systematic field surveys on orchids was conducted by Prof. Tsi Zhanhuo. The project “on investigation of orchid resources in tropical southwestern China”, supported by the National Geographical Society of USA． Time period: 1988 to 1992 Field trips: 7 times Orchidaceae： 335 species and 2 varities in 96 genera Among them, 2 genera, 50 species are new to China, 190 species new to this region, and 21 species and one variety are endemic to Xishuangbanna. Tsi & Chen, 1995 Threats to orchids in Xishuangbanna Orchids are among the most threatened of all flowering plants: over-collection and habitat loss has taken many Land use change species towards extinction in the wild. Now Nowadays, rubber monoculture plantations take up more than 20% of Xishuangbanna’s land area Over-collection About 350 species (25%) of Chinese orchids are used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), 97 of which are Chinese endemics. More than 50% of the 78 (14 endemic) Chinese species of Dendrobium are used in TCM for varying health purposes. 22 species of the 44 Dendrobium are used in TCM in Xishuangbanna area. (Bao et al. 2001; Chen and Luo, 2003; Liu et al. 2013).

The Xishuangbanna National Natural Reserve (XNNR) have been playing a very important role in preserving orchid species in the face of rapid land-use changes, and more than 80% of all orchid species can be found in XNNR. 2. Compared with nearby natural forest, about 70% orchid species can be found in Holly hill forests and traditional tea gardens, but none orchid was found in rubber monoculture plantations. 3. Compared with the data of Tsi & Chen (1995), A. 48 species were not found this time, and the possible reasons: taxonomic problems, some rare species became locally extinct in the wild, and the field trips did not cover these species. B. Many used common species became rare, such as some species of Dendrobium, Anoectochilus roxburghii, Ascocentrum ampullaceum, Aerides rosea , Phalaenopsis mannii . 4. This study provides us with fundamental information for further integrative conservation on local orchid plants, and a useful case study on assessing species endangerment status and determining protection priorities of a special taxonomical plant group at the regional level.

Using the “Seidenfaden collection” in Copenhagen as an example, we address the common view that botanical garden collections of orchids are important for conservation. Seidenfaden collected live orchids all over Thailand from 1957 to 1983 and created a traditional collection for taxonomic research, characterized by high taxonomic diversity and low intraspecific variation. Following an extended period of partial neglect, we managed to set up a five-year project aimed at expanding the collection with a continued focus on taxonomic diversity, but widening the geographic scope to tropical Asia.

  • Appendix: Orchid Potting Mixtures - an Abridged Historical Review 1
    Appendix: Orchid potting mixtures - An abridged historical review 1 T. J. SHEEHAN Introduction There is little doubt that potting media development over time has been the salvation of orchid growers (Bomba, 1975). When epiphytic orchids were first introduced into England and other European countries in the 18th century growers could not envision plants growing in anything but soil. '"Peat and loam' were good for everything and frequently became the mass murderers of the first generation of epiphytic orchids," Hooker is believed to have said around the end of the 19th century; England had become the graveyard of tropical orchids. Undoubtedly this was in reference to the concern individuals were having over the potting media problems. This problem also drew the attention of such noted individuals as John Lindley and Sir Joseph Paxton, as well as the Gardener's Chronicle, who noted that "The Rule of Thumb" had nothing to say about orchid growing; it was only effective in orchid killing (Bomba 1975). Fortunately, the ingenuity of growers solved the problem as innovative potting mixes evolved over the years. After visiting a number of orchid growing establishments it immediately becomes obvious to any orchid grower, professional or hobbyist, that orchids, both epiphytic and terrestrial, will grow in a wide variety of media. It has often been stated that epiphytic orchids can be grown in any medium except soil as long as watering and fertilization are adjusted to fit the mix being used. Ter­ restrial orchids seem to thrive in any medium that contains 40% or more organic matter. Reading cultural recommendations from the early days of orchid growing is most interesting and highly recommended.

    LANKESTERIANA 13(3): 215—227. 2014. I N V I T E D P A P E R* THE REVEREND CHARLES SAMUEL POLLOCK PARISH - PLANT COLLECTOR & BOTANICAL ILLUSTRATOR OF THE ORCHIDS FROM TENASSERIM PROVINCE, BURMA DUDLEY CLAYTON Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 3AB, United Kingdom [email protected] ABSTRACT. Charles Parish collected plants in Burma (now Myanmar) between 1852 and 1878. His orchid collections, both preserved and living plants, were extensive. He sent plant material and watercolour sketches to Sir William Hooker at Kew and living plants to the British orchid nursery of Messrs Hugh Low & Co. of Upper Clapton. H.G. Reichenbach obtained examples of the Parish plant material from Hugh Low and he visited Kew where he studied the Parish orchid specimens and illustrations and many of them were subsequently described by Reichenbach. His beautiful and accurate watercolour paintings of orchids were bound in two volumes and eventually came to Kew following his death. They have been extensively used by botanists such as Robert Rolfe, Victor Summerhayes, Gunnar Seidenfaden and Jeffery Wood when working on the orchid floras of the region. Parish’s life, collecting activities and collections are discussed here. The name Parish as a collector of orchids in No record has yet been found, but it is most likely Burma (Myanmar) will be familiar to those who that Charles Parish returned to England for his formal study orchids but it is unlikely that many people education in 1832 or thereabouts, aged ten.

However, self-pollination is common in pollinating animal-scarce habitats. In such habitats, self- pollinations require the assistance of a pollinating agent (e.g., wind, gravity, or floral assembly) to transport the pollen grains from the anther onto its own stigma. Methodology/Principal Findings: Based on observations on floral morphology and flowering phenology, tests of the breeding system, and a comparison of pollination mechanisms, a new self-pollination process was discovered in the hermaphroditic (i.e., possessing spatially separated male and female organs) flower of a slipper orchid, Paphiopedilum parishii. The anther changes from a solid to a liquid state and directly steps onto the stigma surface without the aid of any pollinating agent or floral assembly.

Л. І. Буюн Національний ботанічний сад ім. М. М. Гришка НАН України вул. Тімірязєвська, 1, Київ 01014, Україна e-mail: [email protected] У статті наведено огляд публікацій, присвячених екологічним особливостям орхідних, насамперед, епіфітизму та структурно-функціональним адаптаціям епі- фітів, обумовленим цим способом життя, а також взаємозв’язку із грибами-міко- ризоутворювачами. З’ясування цих питань є теоретичним підґрунтям для інтер- претації результатів експериментальних досліджень тропічних орхідних за умов оранжерейної культури з метою збереження ex situ. Ключові слова: Orchidaceae, екологічна спеціалізація, епіфітизм, життєві стратегії, адаптація, екологічна ніша. ВСТУП Родина Orchidaceae, яка налічує близько 25 тисяч видів [29], об’єднаних у п’ять під родин [65], є однією з найчисленніших серед квіткових рослин. Надзвичайно складний і тривалий життєвий цикл орхідей, включаючи їхню вза- ємодію з грибами-мікоризоутворювачами і високоспеціалізованими запилювачами, робить їх дуже вразливими до змін клімату і наслідків діяльності людини [10, 11]. Розуміння складного характеру цієї взаємодії є надзвичайно суттєвим для ор- ганізації системи природоохоронних заходів, включаючи проекти з інтродукції та реінтродукції [34, 77]. Метою цієї статті є аналіз публікацій, присвячених екологічним особливостям орхідних, передусім тропічних представників родини Orchidaceae, які відзначають- ся значно ширшим спектром життєвих стратегій порівняно з видами помірних ши- рот, а отже, і значно сильніше потерпають від глобальної деградації вологих тро- пічних лісів, що є первинними місцями зростання орхідних.
