  • The Reverend Charles Samuel Pollock Parish - Plant Collector & Botanical Illustrator of the Orchids from Tenasserim Province, Burma
    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. On 12th will know very much about him. Charles Samuel December 1837, aged fifteen, he was admitted to St Pollock Parish (1822-1897) (Fig.

  • The Anther Steps Onto the Stigma for Self-Fertilization in a Slipper Orchid
    The Anther Steps onto the Stigma for Self-Fertilization in a Slipper Orchid Li-Jun Chen1., Ke-Wei Liu1,2., Xin-Ju Xiao1,3*, Wen-Chieh Tsai4, Yu-Yun Hsiao5, Jie Huang1, Zhong- Jian Liu1,2,6* 1 Shenzhen Key Laboratory for Orchid Conservation and Utilization, The National Orchid Conservation Center of China and The Orchid Conservation & Research Center of Shenzhen, Shenzhen, China, 2 The Center for Biotechnology and BioMedicine, Graduate School at Shenzhen, Tsinghua University, Shenzhen, China, 3 Continuing Education College of Beijing Forestry University, Beijing, China, 4 Institute of Tropical Plant Sciences, and Orchid Research Center, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan, China, 5 Department of Life Sciences, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan, China, 6 College of Forestry, South China Agricultural University, Guangzhou, China Abstract Background: Due to the spatial separation between male and female pollen grains from the anther of most flowering plants, including orchids, pollens are transported by wind or animals and deposited onto the receptive surface of the stigma of a different plant. 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.

Araya Chochai London, November 2013 2 Abstract Slipper orchids (subfamily Cypripedioideae) comprise five genera; Paphiopedilum, Cypripedium, Phragmipedium, Selenipedium, and Mexipedium. Phylogenetic relationships of the genus Paphiopedilum, were studied using nuclear ribosomal ITS and plastid sequence data. The results confirm that Paphiopedilum is monophyletic and support the division of the genus into three subgenera Parvisepalum, Brachypetalum and Paphiopedilum. Four sections of subgenus Paphiopedilum (Pardalopetalum, Cochlopetalum, Paphiopedilum and Barbata) are recovered with strong support for monophyly, concurring with a recent infrageneric treatment. Section Coryopedilum is also recovered with low bootstrap but high posterior probability values.
