  • Bulbophyllum
    Bulbophyllum Introduction ::: Bulbophyllum are the largest genus in the orchid family with species deriving from the high and low altitude rain and cloud forests of most tropical and subtropical countries. They have tremendous variation in their growth habit, ranging from fully terrestrial species to giant epiphytic climbers. They can bloom directly from the rhizome or the growth, depending on the species. Whilst it seems they are a diverse group of plants, they can mostly be grown together. They are a good genus to cultivate and relatively forgiving. Pot type: These orchids can be grown mounted on slabs of cork or tree fern. However, all the species can be grown in shallow pots, or even baskets. One requirement is to retain enough moisture at the root, as most species don’t like to dry out. The rhizome can be trained to stay in the pot by bending them, eventually cutting the old bulbs and leaving them in place, so they will provide additional growth in the pot. Sphagnum has been popular because it retains a lot of moisture, which is what these plants prefer when in active growth; however when it decays or starts to retain too many salts, the plants will have problems. One common problem being rot, for some more sensitive species, sphagnum will have a too low pH, resulting in either rhizome or emerging growth rot. Growers then start to keep the sphagnum dryer to prevent the rot, but it precludes a strong, fast growth. Orchiata has a higher pH, retains enough moisture and due to Orchiata’s longevity there is no need to disturb the plant for some years.

  • A NEW ORCHID of the GENUS Bulbophyllum (ORCHIDACEAE) from WESTERN GHATS of SOUTHERN INDIA
    MAJOR ARTICLE TAPROBANICA , ISSN 1800–427X. December, 2013. Vol. 05, No. 02: pp. 120–123. © Taprobanica Private Limited, 146, Kendalanda, Homagama, Sri Lanka. http://www.sljol.info/index.php/tapro A NEW ORCHID OF THE GENUS Bulbophyllum (ORCHIDACEAE) FROM WESTERN GHATS OF SOUTHERN INDIA Sectional Editor: James L. Reveal Submitted: 4 November 2013, Accepted: 25 November 2013 S. Karuppusamy1,2 and V. Ravichandran1 1 Department of Botany, Centre for Botanical Research, The Madura College (Autonomous), Madurai 625011, Tamil Nadu, India; Email: [email protected] Abstract Bulbophyllum aureoflavum, a new orchid from Western Ghats of southern India, is described and illustrated. The new species, Bulbophyllum aureoflavum, is rare and known presently only from the type locality in southern Western Ghats. This species is related to B. elegantulum and B. fischeri, but differs by having a thick rhizome, subglobose pseudopbulb, bendant filiform scape, and a light golden yellowish, glabrous flower. Key words: Bulbophyllum aureoflavum, new species, pantropical, taxonomy. Introduction Bulbophyllum Thouars is one of the largest hitherto known species from India or even genera of orchids with over 1700 species southeastern Asia. Consequently, we described it distributed pantropically in the Old World as a new species. (Dressler, 1993; Sieder et al., 2007; Chen et al., 2009). Bulbophyllum is the second largest Bulbophyllum aureoflavum Karuppusamy & angiosperm genus in India, represented by about Ravichandran, sp. nov. (Fig. 1, 2) 100 species with some 40 known from Western Ghats (Misra, 2007). The newly collected specimens are from the Munnar-Devicolam Type: Southern India, Kerala State, Munnar, on the road to Poopara near Gap Road, rare on Range of Kerala State in southern Western º º Ghats.

  • An Introduction to the Epiphytic Orchids of East Africa
    Sphyrarchynchus sp. Cyrtorchis crassifoHa Schltr. AN INTRODUCTION TO THE EPIPHYTIC ORCHIDS OF EAST AFRICA. By W. M. MOREAU AND R. E. MOREAU. C()IYl,tents. 1. Introduction. 2. Nomenclature and classification. 3. General ecology. 4. The orchid flower. 5. Published and unpublished sources of East African records. 6. Tentative field key to the genera. 7. Annotated check-list of species. 1. INTRODUCTION. Over fifteen thousand species of orchids have been described, the vast majority of them tropical, and the greater part of them epiphytic, that is, normally growing on trees without deriving sustenance from them. But little more than ten per cent of the majestic total belong to Tropical Africa and moreover, so far as is known at present, within that area ground orchids predominate over epiphytic in the proportion of more than three to one. There is reason to believe that these figures are a reflection rather of our ignorance than of the truth. Because the Tropical African epiphytic orchids are not characterised by the magni• ficence and opulence of those of other regions, they have not attracted the commercial collector and certainly are most imperfectly known. Yet the local orchids display a delightful diversity of adaptation and of form. None are flamboyant, but many are beautiful, some are exquisitely dainty and a few are bizarre. They appeal to the same feelings and are capable of arousing the same enthusiasms as succulents or alpine plants. Moreover, anyone who takes the comparatively little trouble required to collect and grow them has the additional satisfaction of knowing that he is contributing to scientific knowledge.

Orchids need to select an appropriate fungus among diverse soil fungi at the germination stage. However, there is limited understanding of the process by which orchids recruit fungal associates and initiate the symbiotic interaction. This study aimed to better understand this process by focusing on the seed coat, the first point of fungal attachment. Bletilla striata seeds, some with the seed coat removed, were prepared and sown with symbiotic fungi or with pathogenic fungi. The seed coat-stripped seeds inoculated with the symbiotic fungi showed a lower germination rate than the intact seeds, and proliferated fungal hyphae were observed inside and around the stripped seeds. Inoculation with the pathogenic fungi increased the infection rate in the seed coat-stripped seeds. The pathogenic fungal hyphae were arrested at the suspensor side of the intact seeds, whereas the seed coat-stripped seeds were subjected to severe infestation.

  • 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.
