In the middle of photographing the plants on the Show & Tell table, I came to some blue and bluish flowers. I whined about how the colors were not going to turn out anywhere near true. A young man showed me how to set up my camera for fluorescent lighting. Everything looked better on my small screen on my camera, so I took the rest of the photos using that setting. Things did not look quite so good when I opened the photos on my computer. Below are photos of the same flower taken at the two di"erent settings: Auto with flower mode selected (for focal distance) and P with High Fluorescence selected. Although I have edited the photos, cooling the temperature in the adjust feature of iPhoto, you will notice a definite yellow tone to the photos taken after the settings were changed on my camera. This did allow me to capture a truer color on the blue flower, but I should have returned to the original settings for the rest of the photos. Well, I’ve learned two new things for the day, so I can go home now! 2 NEWSLETTER OF THE PENINSULA ORCHID SOCIETY!DECEMBER 2010 Stenoglottis longifolia Oncidium Kukoo Lc.

Welcome to new members William Trimble, Laurie Heron, Pierre Pujol, Sandra Charles and Cathrin Callas. Calling All Novice Exhibitors! Have you felt ambivalent about entering something in the show? The success of the show depends on everyone entering their orchids to make a spectacular first impression for people visiting the show. The Novice Division is the smallest division every year. How often people arrive at the show on Saturday and wish they had entered too! Your plants could be on the bench, winning ribbons and being admired by the crowds! Give it a try - brighten up your January! All you need is an orchid with these attributes: You have owned it at least 6 months It is in flower It is free of pests and disease Start planning your entries now! If you think you might enter a plant, be sure to stake it as it is coming into spike. Clean the leaves with water, or 50/50 water and skim milk, or lemon juice. The skim milk and the lemon juice are helpful in removing hard water deposits. Set your plant in a pot that does not draw attention away from the flowers. Dress up the planting media top with moss, hiding the growing pot, if you like. Michaels is an excellent source of inexpensive plain decorative pots and moss as well as green coated wire to support delicate inflorescences. If your plant needs to be hung, you will need to supply a fixture to hang it from. Small hanging plants can be hung from clear or solid color vases. Pendulous orchids will need something to stand on. For further help, call any of your fellow !society members or bring your questions to the December meeting. Entries for AOS and CSA Judging Just a reminder that the entry rules for AOS and CSA judging are di"erent than for the ribbon judging in our show. There is no minimum ownership time for AOS or CSA judging. So bring in your worthy plants you bought at the auction, at a recent meeting, on eBay, or in the parking lot and ask to have them entered for AOS or CSA judging, but not ribbon judging. CSA judging will be available for Cymbidiums, Paphiopedilums and Phragmipediums which are in the displays. 4 NEWSLETTER OF THE PENINSULA ORCHID SOCIETY!DECEMBER 2010 Dendrochilum cobbianum Oerstede#a schweinfurthianum Vuylstekeara Jerry Lawless Masd.

  • New Names and Combinations in Orchidaceae from the Philippines and New Guinea
    BLUMEA 48: 507– 514 Published on 28 November 2003 doi: 10.3767/000651903X489500 NEW NAMES AND COMBINATIONS IN ORCHIDACEAE FROM THE PHILIPPINES AND NEW GUINEA A. SCHUITEMAN & E.F. DE VOGEL Nationaal Herbarium Nederland, Universiteit Leiden branch, P.O. Box 9514, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands SUMMARY New names and combinations are proposed for species of the orchid genera Bulbophyllum, Dendro­ bium, Flickingeria, Glomera, Octarrhena and Trichotosia. The genera Ischnocentrum and Sepalosi­ phon are synonymised with Glomera, while Chitonanthera is synonymised with Octarrhena. Key words: Orchidaceae, New Guinea, The Philippines, nomenclature, taxonomy. INTRODUCTION In the course of producing CD-ROMs on Orchidaceae for the Flora Malesiana project (Schuiteman & De Vogel, 2001, 2002; Agoo et al., 2003), it became apparent that a number of new names or combinations were required. As dissemination in electronic media does not constitute valid publication under the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (Greuter et al., 2000, article 29), they are dealt with in the present paper, together with some additional comments where necessary. BULBOPHYLLUM Thouars The two following species of this immense genus require a new name, the first because its original epithet is a later homonym, the second because it was described in the wrong genus. Both are ‘good’ species, to the best of our knowledge. 1. Bulbophyllum apoense Schuit. & de Vogel, nom. nov. Basionym: Bulbophyllum graciliscapum Ames & Rolfe in Ames (1915) 175. — Type: Copeland 1127 (holo AMES; iso K). Not Bulbophyllum graciliscapum Schltr. (1905) 203; Bulbophyllum graciliscapum H.

Of all the families of plants orchids are the largest. There are an estimated 750 to 1,000 genera and more than 25,000 species of orchids known today, with the number growing each year! The largest number of species is found in the Dendrobium (1,500 spp), Bulbophyllum (1,500 spp), and Pleurothalis (1,000 spp) genera. They are found on every continent in the world with the largest variety found in Asia. There are even species which use hot springs in Greenland to grow. Orchids can be epiphytic (growing high in the trees), terrestrial (growing in the ground), lithophytes (grow on rocks), and a few are saprophytic (living off decaying vegetation). The family is prized for its beautiful and diverse flowers. The only plant with an economic value to the common man is vanilla, which is a commonly enjoyed flavoring. The hybridizing of these flowers has become a major economic force worldwide for cut flowers and cultivation of plants by hobbyists.

  • Notes on Some Malesian Orchidaceae
    NOTES ON SOME MALESIAN ORCHIDACEAE PAUL ORMEROD,1, 2 MARK A. NAÏVE,3 AND JIM COOTES4 Abstract. Herbarium and literature studies of various orchids from the Malesian floristic zone reveal some new species, synonymy, and the need for a few nomenclatural proposals. Thus, the synonymy of Cestichis halconensis is elaborated; Cymboglossum is found to be the older name for Ascidieria, requiring 8 transfers; Dendrobium appendiculoides is reduced to D. zamboangense; Dendrobium philippinense is reduced to D. gerlandianum; Epidendrum subulatum is reduced to Thrixspermum filiforme; Eria section Polyura is transferred to Pinalia; Eria villosissima is transferred to Mycaranthes; and Myrmechis philippinensis is renamed Odontochilus marivelensis. Six new species are proposed, namely, Dendrobium rubroflavum, Pinalia edanoana, P. kitangladensis, P. pentalopha, P. sanguinea, and P. tonglonensis.

This book is essentially a much expanded and updated version of Dressier’s well known ‘The Orchids; natural history and classification’ (1981), without the parts on natural history. Dressier divides the orchid family in five subfamilies: Apostasioideae, Cypripe- dioideae, Epidendroideae, Spiranthoideae, Orchidoideae. The Epidendroideae have swallowed the Vandoideae, which he recognized in his earlier book. At the tribal and subtribal level there are many changes too. Most of these changes reflect increased knowledge and the results of in-dept studies, and are therefore likely to be improve- ments. The classification proposed is the most thorough and best-argued one current- ly available. Much is still tentative, however, and even the number of subfamilies and their circumscription can by no means be considered definitive. Dressler is an open-minded scientist, who never hides his doubtsand uncertainties about his own in his scheme. system. He would be the first to point out weak spots In the same and criticisms. spirit I should like to offer some comments It is only natural that Dressier is not familiar with each and every of the hundreds of genera that are currently recognized in the Orchidaceae.

  • (Orchidaceae), with Emphasis on Dendrobium Section Pedilonum
    247 Molecular phylogenetic systematics in the Dendrobiinae (Orchidaceae), with emphasis on Dendrobium section Pedilonum M.A. Clements Abstract Clements, M.A. (Centre for Plant Biodiversity Research, Australian National Herbarium, G.P.O. Box 1600, Canberra, A.C.T. 2601, Australia) 2003. Molecular phylogenetic systematics of the Dendrobiinae (Orchidaceae), with emphasis on Dendrobium section Pedilonum. Telopea 10(1): 247–298. Molecular systematic research using the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the 18–26S nuclear ribosomal DNA repeat unit, on representatives of most taxonomic units within the Dendrobiinae has provided independent support, in addition to morphological and biological data, for the phylogenetic reassessment of the taxon. At a broad level, the Dendrobiinae is polyphyletic with Epigeneium forming an independent clade; Dendrobium section Oxystophyllum is deeply embedded within one of the outgroups, subtribe Eriinae: Podochileae; and the remaining taxa isolated into two major groups, viz the Asian and Australasian clades. A detailed study of part of the Asian clade, with emphasis on representatives of the morphologically based Dendrobium section Pedilonum, groups species into seven major clades. Dendrobium section Pedilonum is shown to be non-monophyletic with most species previously interpreted as belonging to it being well isolated from D. secundum, the designated type of that taxon, and interspersed amongst representatives of D. section Calcarifera, Calyptrochilus, Cuthbertsonia, Dendrobium, Dolichocentrum, Oxyglossum and Platycaulon. Dendrobium section Rhopalanthe, which separates the two major clades containing representatives of D. section Pedilonum, is itself paraphyletic with representatives of sections Aporum and Bolbidium embedded within it. These molecular results, combined with morphological data, provide a strong basis for a reassessment of the phylogeny of part of the study taxon.

These analyses divide the family into ®ve primary monophyletic clades: apostasioid, cypripedioid, vanilloid, orchidoid, and epidendroid orchids, arranged in that order. These clades, with the exception of the vanilloids, essentially correspond to currently recognized subfamilies. A distinct subfamily, based upon tribe Vanilleae, is supported for Vanilla and its allies. The general tree topology is, for the most part, congruent with previously published hypotheses of intrafamilial relationships; however, there is no evidence supporting the previously recognized subfamilies Spiranthoideae, Neottioideae, or Vandoideae. Subfamily Spiranthoideae is embedded within a single clade containing mem- bers of Orchidoideae and sister to tribe Diurideae.
