  • 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. KEY WORDS: Orchidaceae, Cymbidieae, Maxillariinae, matK, ycf1, phylogenetics, Camaridium, Maxillaria cacaoensis, Vargasiella Cymbidieae include many of the showiest align nrITS sequences across the entire tribe was Neotropical epiphytic orchids and an unparalleled unrealistic due to high levels of sequence divergence, diversity in floral rewards and pollination systems. and instead to concentrate our efforts on assembling Many researchers have posed questions such as a larger plastid data set based on two regions (matK “How many times and when has male euglossine and ycf1) that are among the most variable plastid bee pollination evolved?”(Ramírez et al. 2011), or exon regions and can be aligned with minimal “How many times have oil-reward flowers evolved?” ambiguity across broad taxonomic spans.

(Orchidaceae) and also one of largest genera within the subfamily Vandoideae Endl. Maxillaria contains mainly tropical and subtropical orchids. It is a highly disorderly genus because of the great number of species as well as a multitude of features occurring in many combinations. Both the number of species assigned to this genus, and the infrageneric classifications of Maxillaria, are not clearly resolved yet. In this paper, a phylogenetic study based on Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) sequences is presented. The results show the monophyletic character of the subtribe Maxillariinae and the paraphyletic character of Maxillaria. Key words: Orchidaceae, Maxillariinae, Maxillaria, ITS, taxonomy, phylogenetic relationship 1.

  • Guanacas Reserve Orchid Diversity
    DIVERSITY OF ORCHID SPECIES IN GUANACAS RESERVE, ANTIOQUIA - COLOMBIA Progress Report No. 1 to the Conservation Committee of the American Orchid Society (Project funding from AOS) Dino J. Tuberquia M. Biologist Santiago Cardona Biology student Esteban Dominguez Biology student Fundación Guanacas Bosques de Niebla October 2019 Medellin - Colombia PRESENTATION The preliminary results of the orchideological exploration carried out in the Guanacas reserve, municipality of Santa Rosa de Osos, funded by the Conservation Committee of the American Orchid Society are presented in this report. A first four-day field trip was made during the month of September 2019, in which 50 morphospecies of orchids, belonging to 15 genera, were collected. The material was herbalized and is in the process of identification. The preliminary list of species and photographic file is presented. INTRODUCTION Orchids, without a doubt, constitute not only the group of flowering plants (angiosperms) with the largest number of species in the world, but also one of the most charismatic of the plant kingdom. The particular shapes and attractive colors of its flowers have historically attracted the attention of naturalists, horticulturists, taxonomists, artists, and society in general, which recreates in them, the greatest inspiration that nature could express in a flower. Even for the most profane in the knowledge of plants, the concept of orchid is synonymous with high expression of beauty, design and color. Orchids, like no other flower, have touched the most intimate fiber of sensitivity of human beings, thus becoming a natural reference to admire and contemplate in the plant world. Orchids are part of the flora in almost all the terrestrial ecosystems of the world, and Colombia, due to its geographical position and geological particularities, has been privileged as the representativeness of species of this group, positioning itself between the first two countries, jointly with Ecuador, with greater wealth of orchids in the world (Minambiente and U.

Box 1031-7050 Cartago, Costa Rica. 2 Centro de Investigación en Orquídeas de los Andes “Ángel Andreetta”, Universidad Alfredo Pérez Guerrero, Extensión Gualaceo, Ecuador. 3 Harvard University Herbaria, Cambridge, MA, USA. 4 Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, Sarasota, FL, USA. 5 Author for correspondence: [email protected] AB STRACT . We present and illustrate 11 new records of Orchidaceae from Costa Rica, and propose a new combination in Acianthera for Pleurothallis aberrans. Barbosella orbicularis and Myoxanthus speciosus, previously recorded from Costa Rica on the basis of doubtful vouchers, are confirmed to occur in the country and illustrated from Costa Rican vouchers. Warmingia margaritacea is reduced to the synonymy of Warmingia zamorana, a species previously known only from Ecuador. A new species, Epidendrum zunigae is described. This species is similar to E. guanacastense and E. isomerum, from which it differs by the narrow, lanceolate leaves, the greenish flowers, the apical half of the column purple with the clinandrium white, the sepals 11 mm long, and the creamy yellow, cordiform, acute, bicallose lip, wich is somewhat convex in natural position. RESUMEN : Presentamos e ilustramos 11 nuevos registros de Orchidaceae para Costa Rica, y proponemos una nueva combinación en Acianthera para Pleurothallis aberrans. Se confirma la presencia en el país de Barbosella orbicularis y Myoxanthus speciosus, registradas anteriormente con base en registros dudosos, y las dos especies se ilustran con material costarricense.

  • Encyclopedia of Kimilsungia
    1 Preface Love of flower is a noble trait peculiar to man. Flower brings fragrance, emotion and beauty to people. That is why they love it, and hope to live beautifully and pure-heartedly like it. At the same time, they express their wish and desire, happiness and hope by means of it, and want to bring their life into full bloom, picturing themselves in it. Kimilsungia, which was named by Sukarno, the first President of the Republic of Indonesia, reflecting the desire of the progressive people of the world, is loved by mankind not only because it is beautiful but also it is symbolic of the greatness of President Kim Il Sung. The editorial board issues Encyclopedia of Kimilsungia in reflection of the unanimous will of the Korean people and the world’s progressive people who are desirous to bloom Kimilsungia more beautifully and propagate it more widely on the occasion of the centenary of the birth of President Kim Il Sung. The book introduces in detail how Kimilsungia came into being in the world, its propagation, Kimilsungia festivals and exhibitions held in Korea and foreign countries every year, events held on the occasion of the anniversary of the naming of the flower, and its biological features and cultivating techniques the Korean botanists and growers have studied and perfected. And edited in the book are the typical literary works depicting Kimilsungia and some of gift plants presented to President Kim Il Sung by foreign countries. In addition, common knowledge of flower is compiled. The editorial board hopes this book will be a help to the flower lovers and people of other countries of the world who are eager to know and grow Kimilsungia.

Summer seems to have come with a rush and I hope that you and your orchids are surviving the onslaught of the hot, dry weather and anxiety of bushfire danger that November has brought. It was a real pleasure to see the many orchids and of such variety, exhibited at our last big event, the Species Show and I hope our club members continue to have such an interest in species orchids. It is a sad fact of life that so much habitat where flora and fauna exist, has and will continue to be lost to development and exploitation. It is always a big task to arrange an event that we hope will be well patronised and with the willing help of many of our club members, before, during and after the show, all went smoothly.
