The stress of modern-day living is causing enormous burden on healthcare globally. Poor eating habits, sleep deprivation and sedentary lifestyle has contributed to growth of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and obesity leading to a literal explosion of cases with cardiovascular complications. There are tips, how to mitigate lifestyle diseases such as, early to bed and early to rise make you healthy, wealthy and wise.

  • ORCHIDACEAE NEOTROPICALES, II During The
    ORCHIDACEAE NEOTROPICALES, II De orchidaceis principaliter colombianis notutae. BY RICHARD EVANS SCHULTES During the past fifteen or twenty years, plant exp.oration in Co- lombia has been greatly intensified. The number of collections, espe- cially from the high Andean regions of the country, is now very much more comprehensive; and monographic. and floristic proj ects should find in this trend strong impetus and keen encouragement. The very task of routine identification of plant collections often uncovers sig- nificant intorrnation. Frequently, species or genera turn up which are new either to Colombia or to a given phytogeographic province of the country. Some of the exploration along frontier regions has resulted in the discovery in Colombia of species known only from neighbouring co- untries. This is especially so in the case of the orchids which have been collected in eastern or Amazonian Colombia, many of which have been reported hitherto only from Brazil or Peru. There is every reason to believe that the total number of orchids known from Co- lombia will be markedly increased as recent collections receive cri- tical attention. In 1920, Schlechter (Schlechter, R. in Repert. Sp Nov. Beih. 7 (1920) listed as known from Colombia 1293 species of orchids. The f'o'ilowing notes, chiefly on Colombian species, are based upon material preserved in the Orchid Herbarium of Oakes Ames in the Botanical Museum of Harvard University. Identification of the specimens discussed has been made by Mr. Charles Schweinfurth, Mr. Gordon de Wolf, Mr. Leslie A. Garay or the writer. The, genera. and under them the species, are arranged alphabetically.

    ORCHIDACEAE JUSS. ASPECTOS MORFOLÓGICOS E TAXONÔMICOS VINÍCIUS TRETTEL RODRIGUES ORIENTADOR: DR. FÁBIO DE BARROS SÃO PAULO 2011 1 A FAMÍLIA ORCHIDACEAE Orchidaceae é a maior família, em número de espécies, entre as monocotiledôneas. Pertence à ordem Asparagales (APG 2006), sendo constituída por aproximadamente 24.500 espécies distribuídas em cerca de 800 gêneros (Dressler 1993, 2005). São plantas herbáceas, perenes, terrícolas ou, mais comumente, epífitas (cerca de 73% das espécies). Apresenta distribuição cosmopolita, embora seja mais abundante e diversificada em florestas tropicais, especialmente da Ásia e das Américas. (Figura 1). Figura 1: Distribuição da família Orchidaceae no mundo; a esquerda encontra-se o número de gêneros e a direita o de espécies. Adaptado de Dressler (1993). Nos Neotrópicos a família é amplamente diversificada, sobretudo na região equatorial, com grande diversidade de espécies na Colômbia, Equador, Brasil e Peru, (Figura 2). O Brasil detém uma das maiores diversidades de orquídeas do continente americano e do mundo, com cerca de 2.419 espécies das quais 1.620 são endêmicas deste país (Barros et al. 2010). Todas as formações vegetais brasileiras acomodam orquídeas, mas elas são mais numerosas nas formações florestais úmidas, principalmente na Mata Atlântica com cerca de 1.257 espécies distribuídas em 176 gêneros; dentre estas 791 espécies são endêmicas deste domínio (Barros et al. 2009). 2 Figura 2: Número de espécies da família Orchidaceae na América do Sul. Adaptado de Dressler (1993). Apesar da alta representatividade da família, que segundo Sanford (1974) abrange 7% das Angiospermas, ainda há muito a se descobrir. Dressler (1981) enfatiza que maiores estudos sobre a família devem ser feitos especialmente em regiões tropicais.

  • Generic and Subtribal Relationships in Neotropical Cymbidieae (Orchidaceae) Based on Matk/Ycf1 Plastid Data
    LANKESTERIANA 13(3): 375—392. 2014. I N V I T E D P A P E R* GENERIC AND SUBTRIBAL RELATIONSHIPS IN NEOTROPICAL CYMBIDIEAE (ORCHIDACEAE) BASED ON MATK/YCF1 PLASTID DATA W. MARK WHITTEN1,2, KURT M. NEUBIG1 & N. H. WILLIAMS1 1Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida Gainesville, FL 32611-7800 USA 2Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT. Relationships among all subtribes of Neotropical Cymbidieae (Orchidaceae) were estimated using combined matK/ycf1 plastid sequence data for 289 taxa. The matrix was analyzed using RAxML. Bootstrap (BS) analyses yield 100% BS support for all subtribes except Stanhopeinae (87%). Generic relationships within subtribes are highly resolved and are generally congruent with those presented in previous studies and as summarized in Genera Orchidacearum. Relationships among subtribes are largely unresolved. The Szlachetko generic classification of Maxillariinae is not supported. A new combination is made for Maxillaria cacaoensis J.T.Atwood in Camaridium.

The third chapter of the series about Rudolf Schlechter’s South-American orchids presents concise biographical information about those botanists and orchid collectors who were related to Schlechter and worked in north and northeastern Brazil, as well as in the three Guianas. As an introduction, a brief geographical outline is presented, dividing the northern territories in four zones: the Amazon basin, the Araguaia-Tocantins river basin, the Northeast region and the Guianas. It is followed by a short mention of the historical milestones in the history of orchids in these regions during the preceding centuries.

  • Epilist 1.0: a Global Checklist of Vascular Epiphytes
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2021 EpiList 1.0: a global checklist of vascular epiphytes Zotz, Gerhard ; Weigelt, Patrick ; Kessler, Michael ; Kreft, Holger ; Taylor, Amanda Abstract: Epiphytes make up roughly 10% of all vascular plant species globally and play important functional roles, especially in tropical forests. However, to date, there is no comprehensive list of vas- cular epiphyte species. Here, we present EpiList 1.0, the first global list of vascular epiphytes based on standardized definitions and taxonomy. We include obligate epiphytes, facultative epiphytes, and hemiepiphytes, as the latter share the vulnerable epiphytic stage as juveniles. Based on 978 references, the checklist includes >31,000 species of 79 plant families. Species names were standardized against World Flora Online for seed plants and against the World Ferns database for lycophytes and ferns. In cases of species missing from these databases, we used other databases (mostly World Checklist of Selected Plant Families). For all species, author names and IDs for World Flora Online entries are provided to facilitate the alignment with other plant databases, and to avoid ambiguities. EpiList 1.0 will be a rich source for synthetic studies in ecology, biogeography, and evolutionary biology as it offers, for the first time, a species‐level overview over all currently known vascular epiphytes. At the same time, the list represents work in progress: species descriptions of epiphytic taxa are ongoing and published life form information in floristic inventories and trait and distribution databases is often incomplete and sometimes evenwrong.

  • History and Current Status of Systematic Research with Araceae
    HISTORY AND CURRENT STATUS OF SYSTEMATIC RESEARCH WITH ARACEAE Thomas B. Croat Missouri Botanical Garden P. O. Box 299 St. Louis, MO 63166 U.S.A. Note: This paper, originally published in Aroideana Vol. 21, pp. 26–145 in 1998, is periodically updated onto the IAS web page with current additions. Any mistakes, proposed changes, or new publications that deal with the systematics of Araceae should be brought to my attention. Mail to me at the address listed above, or e-mail me at [email protected]. Last revised November 2004 INTRODUCTION The history of systematic work with Araceae has been previously covered by Nicolson (1987b), and was the subject of a chapter in the Genera of Araceae by Mayo, Bogner & Boyce (1997) and in Curtis's Botanical Magazine new series (Mayo et al., 1995). In addition to covering many of the principal players in the field of aroid research, Nicolson's paper dealt with the evolution of family concepts and gave a comparison of the then current modern systems of classification. The papers by Mayo, Bogner and Boyce were more comprehensive in scope than that of Nicolson, but still did not cover in great detail many of the participants in Araceae research. In contrast, this paper will cover all systematic and floristic work that deals with Araceae, which is known to me. It will not, in general, deal with agronomic papers on Araceae such as the rich literature on taro and its cultivation, nor will it deal with smaller papers of a technical nature or those dealing with pollination biology.

The reason for this was simple. Plants that were called "Odontoglossum" back in those days did well for me on my windowsill in Sweden. The problem was they all came from Mexico or Guatemala (and are not called “odontoglossums" anymore) and I knew that the really inter­ esting ones existed only in the humid Andean cloud forests of South America. So I went there to find them. Another little problem was that I knew nothing about how or where they grew. Our team of three orchid enthusiasts therefore hired an old Nissan Patrol in Quito, which had its best days long gone, and bravely puttered across the high and mighty cordilleras and occa­ sionally plunged right into an Odontoglossum lover's heaven. We were also extremely lucky to hit the flowering season for many species. Large plants of Odontoglossum hall! grew high up in the trees, displaying magnificent flower shows. And when I held my first blooming Odontoglossum cirrhosum in my trembling hands I knew that I had been spellbound for life. The absolutely exquisite and sweetly scented flowers were, and still are, the essence of pure beauty. When we are emotionally engaged in whatever the cause, our judgments may not always work on all cylinders, and we sometimes make poor decisions.
