A total of 281 individuals were used to construct regional descriptions of D. kingianum and 139 individuals were measured for 19 morphological characters, and similarities and differences among specimens summarised using multivariate statistical methods. Patterns of morphological variation within D. kingianum are consistent with a single variable species that expresses clinal variation, with short-growing plants in the south and taller plants in the northern part of the distribution. The nrITS gene tree suggests two subgroups within D. kingianum subsp. kingianum, one comprising northern, the other southern individuals, which may overlap in the vicinity of Dorrigo, New South Wales.

However whether, and to what extent, the very substantial taxonomic restructure presented in the book is accepted by the professional botanical community, only time will tell. In the meantime, while many orchid growers will enthusiastically embrace these new taxonomies, many others will exercise their valid right to continue labelling their orchids using the older taxa, waiting for the dust to settle on the scientific debate. In either regard there are difficulties for users of Jones's book, in their attempt to relate many of these new taxa to older species descriptors. The individual species entries in the text provide no prior taxonomic information whatever; and the index is of limited assistance, and far from complete regarding taxonomic descriptors commonly used over the past decade or so.

  • Dendrobium Speciosum Cultivars (Note: the List Has Been Revised As
    Dendrobium speciosum cultivars (Note: The list has been revised as at January 2017. January 2016 entries are in blue. January 2017 entries are in green.) About two years ago I took on the task of compiling a list of cultivars of Dendrobium speciosum. My object has been to record the named cultivars and record information as to provenance, of bush collected plants and also those which are the result of line breeding. It has not been my intention to discriminate in any way, so plants are listed whether or not they have won shows or awards or been used in breeding programs. If a cultivar has come to my attention, it has been included. I have obtained the information from personal observation at orchid shows, from reading nursery catalogues, and from correspondence with people who have written providing valuable information from their own knowledge and records. In a number of cases I received information about a cultivar from more than one source. I have not listed every source of information for every plant, generally replacing an earlier source name with a more recent source if the later source provided more details, so the fact that a single name is listed in the Information Source/Additional Comments column should not be taken as meaning that was the only source of information about that cultivar. I am particularly grateful to Phil Ritchie, who provided extensive information from the database maintained by himself and Keith Riseley, and also subsequently provided further details. Bill Dobson, Dave Groffen, Wally Heath, Norm Stockton, and Gerry Walsh all provided me with lists and Graeme Russell shared the research paper he wrote on this subject for the ANOS judging course.

  • Dendrobium Speciosum Cultivars – Updated May 2020
    Dendrobium speciosum Cultivars – Updated May 2020 This list has finally been updated. All entries added since the February 2017 changes are written in blue text. The introductions to the original list in 2012 and the 2016 revision have been left in as the issues remain the same, and I repeat the plea made previously for growers to be careful with names and avoid using “breeding group” names such as “Herbmere” and “Larwind” on their tags because of the confusion they can cause. I have received a number of contributions and comments since the last version and there are quite a few additions and some deletions. I deleted the entry I had for ‘Triffid’ as a cross between ‘Herberton’ and ‘Windermere’ and replaced it to note ‘Trifid’ as a cross between ‘Herberton’ and ‘North Star’, which is what DUNO catalogues indicate it actually is. I had attributed the information about ‘Triffid’ to Bill Dobson but have checked with Bill and he only knows about ‘Trifid’ and did not give me the other, erroneous, information. I cannot account for the mistake and I take full responsibility for it. If anyone notices similar errors, please point them out to me so I can fix them. Den. speciosum var. grandiflorum 'William' HCC/AOC 2016 (NSW) Some amendments have been made based on information received from Gerry Walsh, and also on input from various other interested persons. I have updated the information about awards and added names from plants I have seen at shows. As stated earlier, information about a plant often comes from a number of different people, but I have not listed every person who informed me of basic details about a plant, only the first source.

The transfer of Nab/onium to Ammobium by Anderberg (1990) is re-examined in light of additional characters. Some of the characters used by Anderberg to link Nab/onium with Ammobium craspedioides are shown to be based on misinterpretations. Nab/onium differs from the two species of Ammobium by a group of 14 characters, while the links between the genera are much less than previously suggested. These relationships are best reflected in a classification which keeps the two genera distinct. Introduction The genus Nablonium, endemic to Tasmania, and consisting of a single, well-defined species, has always been difficult to place within the tribal subdivisions of the Aster­ aceae. At various times it has been placed in the Anthemideae, Heliantheae and Inuleae. Within the Inuleae it has been assigned to the Bupthalminae, Angianthiinae and Gnaphaliinae. The taxonomic history has been surveyed by Anderberg (1990) and a full account can be found there. Anderberg (1990) has recently compared Nablonium with Ammobium, the two species of which occur in eastern mainland Australia.
