65 Possibly Lost Orchid Treasure of Bangladesh
J. biodivers. conserv. bioresour. manag. 3(1), 2017 POSSIBLY LOST ORCHID TREASURE OF BANGLADESH AND THEIR ENUMERATION WITH CONSERVATION STATUS Rashid, M. E., M. A. Rahman and M. K. Huda Department of Botany, University of Chittagong, Chittagong 4331, Bangladesh Abstract The study aimed at determining the status of occurrence of the orchid treasure of Bangladesh for providing data for Planning National Conservation Strategy and Development of Conservation Management. 54 orchid species are assessed to be presumably lost from the flora of Bangladesh due to environmental degradation and ecosystem depletion. The assessment of their status of occurrence was made based on long term field investigation, collection and identification of orchid taxa; examination and identification of herbarium specimens preserved at CAL, E, K, DACB, DUSH, BFRIH,BCSIRH, HCU; and survey of relevant upto date floristic literature. These species had been recorded from the present Bangladesh territory for more than 50 to 100 years ago, since then no further report of occurrence or collection from elsewhere in Bangladesh is available and could not be located to their recorded localities through field investigations. Of these, 29 species were epiphytic in nature and 25 terrestrial. More than 41% of these taxa are economically very important for their potential medicinal and ornamental values. Enumeration of these orchid taxa is provided with updated nomenclature, bangla name(s) and short annotation with data on habitats, phenology, potential values, recorded locality, global distribution conservation status and list of specimens available in different herbaria. Key words: Orchid species, lost treasure, Bangladesh, conservation status, assessment. INTRODUCTION The orchid species belonging to the family Orchidaceae are represented mostly in the tropical parts of the world by 880 genera and about 26567 species (Cai et al. -

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. -

www.hengduanbiotech.com e-mail: [email protected] Orchid-List USA, Autumn 2013 (We attend the 2013 Fall Mid-America Orchid Show and Sale in Dayton , Ohio, October 19-20) Welcome at Hengduan Mts. Biotechnology! Hengduan Mts. Biotechnology is a German-Chinese company dedicated to the conservation and cul- tivation of native Chinese orchids. Our base is in Sichuan, Southwest China, in one of the biodiversity hotspots of the world, the Hengduan Mountains System (synonym Mountains of Southwest China), home to about 400 orchid species and the Giant Panda. Our laboratory and subtropical nursery in Chengdu, Sichuan’s capital, as well as the alpine nursery beds in North Sichuan are the tools for in vitro propagation and subsequent raising of a wide range of Chinese orchids, with our specialty be- ing slipper orchids (Cypripedium & Paphiopedilum, but also Phragmipedium and Mexipedium). We create also orchid hybrids and our modern laboratory is further engaged in the production of fruit crop plants and medicinal herbs. Hengduan Mts. Biotechnology is registered with the State Forestry Agency (SFA, the CITES authority of the Peoples Republic of China), as in-vitro propagation facility of CITES appendix I & II orchids and grower of these artificially produced plants. We legally export flasks as well as seedlings of all stages from recently deflasked to flowering size of Paphiopedilum, Cypripedium and many other types of or- chids to North America, the European Union, Japan and other countries. Because the paperwork for every single export involves 7 different governmental agencies with 12 steps, and requires at least 3 months (usually more), we only export once or twice a year to a given region. -

In nature, orchid seed germination is obligatory following infection by mycorrhizal fungi, which supplies the developing embryo with water, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, causing the seeds to germinate relatively slowly and at a low germination rate. ,e nonsymbiotic germination of orchid seeds found in 1922 is applicable to in vitro propagation. ,e success of seed germination in vitro is influenced by supplementation with organic compounds. Here, we review the scientific literature in terms of the contents and role of organic supplements in promoting seed germination, protocorm development, and seedling growth in orchids. We systematically collected information from scientific literature databases including Scopus, Google Scholar, and ProQuest, as well as published books and conference proceedings. Various organic compounds, i.e., coconut water (CW), peptone (P), banana homogenate (BH), potato homogenate (PH), chitosan (CHT), tomato juice (TJ), and yeast extract (YE), can promote seed germination and growth and development of various orchids. -

Shakuntala Manay Here is Nagesh’s story, the first recipient of TOSKAR Rolling Shield for the Best Orchid. His interest in growing plants started as a child of eight when he would pick up sprouting onions from Mom’s kitchen onion and plant them in the yard and watched them grow into green leeks. This got him into the hobby to grow vegetables. By this time he was 14. Later he turned to growing foliage plants like succulents, Anthuriums and Cacti. Thus he dared to enter into annual shows at Lalbagh and won many prizes. In “small homes garden” categories he won eight awards from Urban Art Commission such as “Best Maintained Building & Garden” “Pride of Bangalore” “Role of Honour” etc. Ex- commissioners of Bangalore City Corporation Late N. Laxman Rao and Late Mr. Parthsarathy would visit his house as Judges. He received these prestigious prizes amidst distinguished guests and dignitaries at Rajbhavan. Trophies gathered so fast that there was no place for them at home. Twenty years ago he got one orchid from Indo American Nursery. Thus he began collecting orchids from Kerala, North East India and Western Ghats. Now on his terrace of 800 sq ft he has 1500 orchids! Among these Dracula Orchid (Monkey face) which grows in cloud mountains of Mexico, Central America and Colombia is one of his special collections, and more than 15 varieties of Carnivorous Plants and many Tillandsias also add to his collection. -
