  • The Genus Brassavola, (L.) R.Br
    The Genus Brassavola, (L.) R.Br. in W.T.Aiton, Hortus Kew. 5: 216 (1813) Type: Brassavola [B.] cucullata [bra-SAH-vo-la kyoo-kyoo-LAH-ta] There are 28 species (OrchidWiz [update Dec 2017]) that are epiphytes and sometimes lithophytes at elevations of from sea level to 3300 ft (1000 m) from Mexico, southern Caribbean islands to northern Argentina in moist or wet montane forests, mangroves, rocky crevices and cliff faces. They are most fragrant at night and many with a citrus smell. The genus is characterized by very small pencil-like pseudobulbs, often forming large clumps; a single, fleshy, apical, sub-terete leaf and the inflorescence produced form the apex of the pseudobulb. The inflorescence carries from a single to a few large flowers. The floral characteristics are elongate narrow similar sepals and petals, the base of the lip usually tightly rolled around at least a portion of the column which carries 12, sometimes eight unequal pollina with prominent opaque caudicles. The flowers usually occur, as a rule, in spring, summer and fall. The flowers are generally yellow to greenish white with a mostly white lip. It is not unusual for dark spots, usually purple, to be in the region where the sepals, petals, and lip join the stem (claw). This spotting is a dominant generic trait in Brassavola nodose. They are easily cultivated under intermediate conditions. Although this is a relatively small genus (28 species), the species show an unusually close relationship with one another in their floral patterns, coloration, and column structure making identification difficult, key to know where the plants were collected.

  • Lady of the Night Orchid, Brassavola Nodosa
    A Horticulture Information article from the Wisconsin Master Gardener website, posted 6 Sept 2004 Lady of the Night Orchid, Brassavola nodosa Lady of the Night is the common name of Brassavola nodosa, an epiphytic orchid native to low-lying coastal regions of Central and Southern America. It is widespread from Mexico to Colombia and throughout the Caribbean coast and islands, and ranges into Brazil, Bolivia and Peru. It is generally found in lowland tropical forests or mangrove swamps, growing on trees or on exposed rocks and cliffs near the shore. The white to pale green fl owers are usually about 3½ inches in diameter (but some may be up to 6 inches), and wonderfully fragrant in the evening. Each fl ower has long, slender sepals and petals, and a large, heart-shaped lip on the tubular lower petal. The lip may have purple or dark red spotting inside the tube. B. nodosa is a very easy orchid to grow, adapting to a wide range of conditions in cultivation. A large specimen plant may have dozens of fl owers, making quite a display; but even a single fl ower The white fl owers of Brassavola nodosa spike is quite rewarding. It likes the same conditions cattleya and produce a lovely fragrance in the evening. laelia orchids do, so if you can grow them successfully, this is a species to consider growing. Provide the plant with good light and intermediate temperatures (65º to 80ºF during the day with a 10ºF drop at night) for best fl owering. It may not fl ower, however, if kept at temperatures below about 55ºF.

Following through with our promise to gradually move from print to the Internet, we no longer will print and mail color photos. Producing those beautiful color pages has been a lot of fun, but it is time to move on. There are only a few us working and we need to put all of our time and energy towards what we do best; producing more new items and introducing them to the market faster. We are putting a lot of energy into new photos for our website, though, and 2009 will have the most new photos posted for any year since we developed the website. If you must have some color printed material, for a limited time we can mail you a collection of some of our best color pages for $5.00. These color pages are already “collector’s items”. Also, some of you may not be aware of Jay Pfahl’s excellent website; the Internet Orchid Species Photo Encyclopedia – a priceless resource, you can see photos of thousands of orchid species there. This List is only a partial listing of all the species that will become available this year. Please check our website frequently to see all the latest species as they are added. The website also has “special offers”. Our lab operation is looking great - and there are hundreds of exciting species yet to be offered. You can help us save time by ordering on-line.

  • Orchid of the Month for July, 2014 Prosthechea Cochleata by Bruce Adams
    Orchid of the Month for July, 2014 Prosthechea cochleata by Bruce Adams Wherein the “Orchid of the Month” gets hijacked by a travelogue of our trip to the tropical paradise of Belize. Figure 1: Prosthechea cochleata I’m not a world traveler, but when my wife and I had the opportunity to stay in Belize at the home of an old colleague, we couldn’t say no. After all, imagine all of the orchids I would see growing in the wild, in their natural state as nature intended. With over three hundred species of orchids native to Belize (1), I felt certain I could see dozens of them growing naturally, photographing them to my heart’s content. As often turns out, the fantasy was better than the reality. I hiked steep trails up to magnificent waterfalls, scoured the coastal scrubland, made my way through Mayan ruins, but I found only one wild orchid, Brassavola nodosa, growing just a few hundred feet from the Caribbean Sea. B. nodosa is known to be salt tolerant(3), and this close to the saltwater it had to be! This plant was growing on a nearly dead stump of a tree in an open sandy lot which was likely slated for development. While I did enjoy spotting wild Philodendrons, Passiflora, Begonias, Anthurium, Heliconia, and lots and lots of ferns, I only saw the one Brassavola in the wild. There was some consolation in seeing the many, many cultivated specimens of Oncidium sphacelatum, in peak flower in late February. Figure 2:Brassavola nodosa, the Lady of the Night Orchid.

TRAPNELL,* J. L. HAMRICK† and JOHN D. NASON‡ *Department of Plant Biology, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia 30602, USA, †Departments of Plant Biology and Genetics, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia 30602 USA, ‡Department of Botany, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa 50011, USA Abstract Epiphytic plants occupy three-dimensional space, which allows more individuals to be closely clustered spatially than is possible for populations occupying two dimensions. The unique characteristics of epiphytes can act in concert to influence the fine-scale genetic structure of their populations which can, in turn, influence mating patterns and other popu- lation phenomena. Three large populations of Laelia rubescens (Orchidaceae) in the Costa Rican seasonal dry forest were sampled at two levels of intensity to determine: (i) whether individual clusters contain more than one genotype, and (ii) the spatial distribution and fine-scale genetic structure of genotypes within populations. Samples were assayed for their multilocus allozyme genotypes and spatial autocorrelation analyses were performed. High levels of genetic diversity, high genotypic diversity and low among-population vari- ation were found. In the larger clusters, multiple genets per cluster were common with dis- crete clusters containing up to nine genotypes. Spatial autocorrelation analyses indicated significant positive genetic structure at distances of ≤ 45 cm. This result is likely due to the formation of discrete clusters by vegetative reproduction, as well as the establishment of sexually derived progeny within and near maternal clusters.

    Acta Botanica Brasilica - 34(1): 66-73. January-March 2020. doi: 10.1590/0102-33062019abb0198 Variation in root morphology of epiphytic orchids along small-scale and large-scale moisture gradients Helena J. R. Einzmann1* , Nina Schickenberg1 and Gerhard Zotz1,2 Received: June 6, 2019 Accepted: August 28, 2019 . ABSTRACT Root morphology is expected to respond to environmental conditions. Two earlier studies reported predictable changes in the structure of the velamen radicum (common in monocotyledons) along rainfall gradients, which was expected from its assumed role in plant-water-relations. The present study expanded on this idea by analysing nine root traits that can be linked to root function, including velamen structure, along two moisture gradients of different spatial scales: 1) along the vertical gradient of a lowland forest in central Panama and 2) along a strong regional rainfall gradient in western Panama. All studied traits (e.g. velamen width, number of xylem poles, lignification of the exodermis) of the 45 orchid species showed substantial intraspecific and interspecific variation, but none of this (within forest) or very little of this (regional gradient) was related to the gradients. Only the community weighted means of velamen width, stele width and xylem pole number varied significantly with rainfall, with substantial effect sizes only found in the latter two traits. Our results clearly disagree with those of earlier publications, which did not include species abundance and/or rigorous statistics in their analyses. This discrepancy highlights that our understanding of the link between velamen form and function is still rudimentary. Keywords: epiphytic orchids, exodermis, interspecific variation, intraspecific variation, lignification, plant morphology, velamen radicum, water relations as an idiosyncracy of many aerial roots (see discussion in Introduction Zotz et al.
