Percy has been doing this job at every show for some years, and we sincerely than him. Again, the many dedicated growers benched some well grown plants, which so many of the visitors commented on. The quality of the plants for sale was also very good. Laurie Baxter was kept busy advising and giving potting demonstrations to many visitors. Laurie worked very hard, for which we thank him. A job well done. The QOS Committee will discuss all aspects of our shows to see if we can come up with a few different ideas. Any opinions from the Members would be gladly accepted. Supper was then served. Thank you to Margaret Horsey and her helpers Myra Westphal and Anne Gibbard for the excellent variety of tasty food and tea & coffee. The Guest Speaker for this evening was Ann Gillingham, who presented a programme on "The Magic & Medication Properties of Or- chids". This presentation was interesting and amusing. The President thanked Ann and presented her with the speaker's fee. The Plant of special interest selected, was Brasiliorchis (Bch.) schunkeana, owned by Maree & Reg Illingworth. Nick drew out raffle tickets, the winners each won a well grown orchid plant or other. Thank you to the raffle ticket seller, Greg Molloy.

We did not have as many plants as at some of our other shows. What we had was plenty of quality. Really well grown Orchids. Sales Plants went very well especially flowering Cattleyas and Dendrobiums. I would like to thank everyone who helped at the Show in any way. A special thank you to Percy Tesch who rearranged the benches so that each plant was in full view. Many visitors commented on the quality of the show plants. The Kitchen ladies led by Margaret Horsey, did us proud, the food was plentiful and very appe- tising. I have booked Guest Speakers for each month up till September, if any member knows of an interesting speaker, please let me know. In May the Guest Speaker will be Ann Sales, an excellent presenter, who has a new pro- gramme on growing Cattleyas. Good Growing, Albert Gibbard QOS President Profile _Ann Sales I have always loved gardens but never ventured into orchids until I retired in 1999. One of my neighbours took me to Aranbeem where I bought my first Cattleya and I was hooked. The first orchid society I joined was Pine Rivers and Kathy Wanka was my host for my first evening at the club and we hit it off immediately. How lucky is that. It is so lovely to find such good friends and I am so fortunate to have had Doug and Kath as orchid mentors over all the years. Ross Maidment of Aranbeem has also tolerated my endless questions and “why is it so?‟ mind. He de- lights in giving me a “hard time” at his monthly growers group. The Aranbeem Growers Group is so valuable for all orchid growers whether they are new or experienced. (first Saturday of the month at Aranbeem -1.30PM). We all never stop learning. Betty Lane has become another close friend and mentor too and she is always steering me to the best of the Cattleya alliance. I had found it was very difficult to get guest speakers, so called on my former teaching skills and started along the path of more learning and developed talks to share some of the knowledge I have gained over the year. I like to think that I can help newer growers in the same way generous orchid growers have assisted me. I have taught an endless stream of people how to access the wonderful RHS Hybrid Orchid facilities and the Kew gardens Species Data base (both free on the internet)-a wealth of knowledge at your finger tips. I have done some breeding of 3 Special Interest Plant Of The Month April 2014 PLANT NAME: Brasiliorchis (Bch.) schunkeana OWNER’S NAME: Maree & Reg Illingworth JUDGE’S COMMENT: Unusual species orchid OWNER’S COMMENTS: Housing: The orchid is grown on a low shelf in a shade house with 70% black shade cloth on roof and sides.

  • Development of the Embryo and the Young Seedling Stages of Orchids
    Development of the Embryo II' L_ and the Young Seedling Stages of Orchids YVONNE VEYRET Until 1804, when Salisbury found that orchid seeds could germinate, the seeds were considered sterile. Much later, in 1889, Bernard's discovery of the special conditions necessary for their growth and development ex- plained the lack of success in previous attempts to obtain plantules, and the success, although mediocre, when sowing of seed took place at the foot of the mother plant. Knowing the rudimentary state of minute or- chid embryos, one can better understand that an exterior agent, usually a Rhizoctonia, can be useful in helping them through their first stages of development (Bernard, 1904). Orchid embryos, despite their rudimentary condition, present diverse pattems of development, the most apparent of which are concerned with the character of the suspensor; there are other basic patterns that are re- vealed in the course of the formation of the embryonic body. These char- acteristics have been used differently in the classification of orchid em- bryos. This will be discussed in the first part of this chapter, to which will be added our knowledge of other phenomena concerning the embryo, in particular polyembryonic and apomictic seed formation. The second part of this chapter is devoted to the development of the young embryo, a study necessary for understanding the evolution of the different zones of the embryonic mass. We will also examine the characteristics of the em- bryo whose morphology, biology, and development are specialized when compared to other plants. 3 /-y , I', 1 dT 1- , ,)i L 223 - * * C" :.

  • November 2008 Newsletter
    Odontoglossum Alliance Newsletter Volume 5 November 2008 Odontoglossum Species Reference Edition Special Edition Odontoglossum Species This is a Special Edition of the Odontoglossum Alliance Newsletter devoted to producing a reference edition of the odontoglossum species. Dr. Guido Deburghgraeve has an extensive collection of odontoglossum species and provided us with a DVD of the flowers of the species in his collection. This edition is devoted to showing these flowers. The pic­ tures are augmented by (1) additional pictures of species from Steve Beckendorf’s collection and (2) the complete list of odontoglossum species as produced by Kew Gardens. This list contains what they consider as the recognized names as well as the historical names applied to each species. It is planned that this edition will be repeated in the future with other genera in the Odontoglossum Alliance. The pictures have (when available) both a facing photograph and a profile photograph. Where there are multiple photographs of the same species, this is done to show the variability within the species. There were more photographs available then we had space and money to show in this edition. A number of these species are marked with an X indicat- ing a natural hybrid. Please see the explanation and definition of natural hybrids by Steve Beckendorf in the newsletter following the photographs. The Alliance is indebted to Dr. Guido Deburghgraeve for supplying the DVD of his flowers, to Stig Dalstrom for consulting on the material and to Dr. Steve Beckendorf for his consultation, flower pictures and explanation of the mate­ rial contained m this issue.

Species on monocots ARTICLE (Acoraceae to Xyridaceae, excluding Poaceae) Uwe Braun1, Pedro W. Crous2, and Chiharu Nakashima3 1Martin-Luther-Universität, Institut für Biologie, Bereich Geobotanik und Botanischer Garten, Herbarium, Neuwerk 21, 06099 Halle (Saale), Germany; corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] 2CBS-KNAW, Fungal Biodiversity Centre, Uppsalalaan 8, 3584 CT Utrecht, The Netherlands 3Graduate School of Bioresources, Mie University, 1577 Kurima-machiya, Tsu, Mie 514-8507, Japan Abstract: Cercosporoid fungi (formerly Cercospora s. lat.) represent one of the largest groups of Key words: hyphomycetes belonging to the Mycosphaerellaceae (Ascomycota). They include asexual morphs, Ascomycota asexual holomorphs, or species with mycosphaerella-like sexual morphs. Most of them are leaf-spotting Cercospora s. lat. plant pathogens with special phytopathological relevance. In the first part of a new monographic work, Liliopsida cercosporoid hyphomycetes occurring on other fungi (fungicolous species), on ferns (pteridophytes) and hyphomycetes gymnosperms were treated. This second part deals with cercosporoid fungi on monocots (Liliopsida; Equisetopsida, Magnoliidae, Lilianae), which covers species occurring on host plants belonging to families arranged in alphabetical order from Acoraceae to Xyridaceae, excluding Poaceae (cereals and grasses) which requires a separate treatment. The species are described and illustrated in alphabetical order under the particular cercosporoid genera, supplemented by keys to the species concerned. A detailed introduction, a survey of currently recognised cercosporoid genera, a key to the genera concerned, and a discussion of taxonomically relevant characters were published in the first part of this series.Neopseudocercospora , an additional recently introduced cercosporoid genus, is briefly discussed.
