China 3 Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Menglun Township, Mengla County, Yunnan province 666303, P.R. China Author for correspondence: Xiao-Hua Jin, [email protected] Abstract The phylogenetic position of two enigmatic Asian orchid genera, Thaia and Tangtsinia, were inferred from molecular data and morphological evidence. An analysis of combined plastid data (rbcL + matK + psaB) using Bayesian and parsimony methods revealed that Thaia is a sister group to the higher epidendroids, and tribe Neottieae is polyphyletic unless Thaia is removed. Morphological evidence, such as plicate leaves and corms, the structure of the gynostemium and the micromorphol- ogy of pollinia, also indicates that Thaia should be excluded from Neottieae. Thaieae, a new tribe, is therefore tentatively established. Using Bayesian and parsimony methods, analyses of combined plastid and nuclear datasets (rbcL, matK, psaB, trnL-F, ITS, Xdh) confirmed that the monotypic genus Tangtsinia was nested within and is synonymous with the genus Cepha- lanthera, in which an apical stigma has evolved independently at least twice.

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.

    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.

Phylogenetic relationships of Telipogon Kunth, Ornithocephalus Hook. and related genera (Orchidaceae: Oncidiinae) were evaluated using parsimony analyses of data from the internal transcribed spacers of nuclear ribosomal (nrITS DNA) and three plastid regions (matK, trnL-F, and the atpB-rbcL intergenic spacer region). In addition to an analysis of 81 OTU’s for ITS only, we used a matrix of 30 taxa for combined nuclear and plastid analyses. Stellilabium is embedded within Telipogon and should be merged with the latter genus.

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.

    The Systematic Distribution of Vascular Epiphytes: an Update

    Selbyana 9: 2-22 THE SYSTEMATIC DISTRIBUTION OF VASCULAR EPIPHYTES: AN UPDATE w. JOHN KREss Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, 811 South Palm Avenue, Sarasota, Florida 33577 ABSTRACT. The list of vascular plant families and genera containing epiphytic species published by Madison (1977) is updated here. Ten percent (23,456 species) of all vascular plant species are epiphytes. Seven percent (876) of the genera, 19 percent (84) of the families, 45 percent (44) of the orders and 75 percent (6) of the classes contain epiphytes. Twenty-three families contain over 50 epiphytic species each. The Orchidaceae is the largest family of epiphytes, containing 440 epiphytic genera and 13,951 epiphytic species. Forty-three genera of vascular plants each contain over 100 epiphytic species. In 1977 Madison published a list of the vas­ those plants that normally spend their entire life cular plant families and genera that contain epi­ cycle perched on another plant and receive all phytic species.

A apresentam elaióforos do tipo tricomático, no qual apenas polinização por engano é a estratégia mais comum, mas os tricomas unicelulares e digitiformes são responsáveis algumas espécies oferecem néctar, fragrância ou óleo [1]. pela secreção do óleo floral, como registrado para outras Os óleos florais são produzidos em glândulas chamadas Ornithocephalinae [4, 5]. Em todas as espécies a elaióforos, que podem ser do tipo tricomático, epidérmico quantidade de óleo secretada é grande, comparada ao ou misto [2]. tamanho diminuto das flores. O óleo secretado fica exposto aos polinizadores, principalmente entre os Atualmente a subtribo está dividida em 61 clados, dentre tricomas. Como reportado para Trichocentrum pumilum [6], provavelmente essas quatro espécies também sejam eles o clado Ornithocephalus [3] que compreende seis . gêneros. O objetivo desse trabalho foi investigar a polinizadas por fêmeas de abelhas coletoras de óleo anatomia floral de espécies de quatro gêneros de Conclusões Ornithocephalinae, assim como a natureza química da secreção oferecida como recurso aos polinizadores.

    A List of Orchid Books

    APPENDIX A list of Orchid Books TIM WING YAM, BENJAMIN SINGER, CHOY SIN HEW, TIIU KULL, IRINA TATARENKO, AND JOSEPH ARDITTI 279 280 T.W. Yam et al. Two private libraries, Benjamin Singer’s (which he donated to the American Orchid Society) and Joseph Arditti’s (its future is yet to be decided, it may be donated to an academic or scientific institutions or sold), served as primary sources for this list. However other sources were also used. The use of multiple sources increased the number of books which are listed but may have introduced errors or imperfections for following reasons. One and the same book may have been listed under different names erroneously. Names of authors may have been misspelled. When books have more than one author, the order of authors may have been presented differently in different lists and/or one or more names may have been omitted, added or misspelled. A book may have been published under different names in more than one country. Books are sometimes published by one publisher in one country and another in a different one. Spelling errors in different lists Translations Different editions Lack of information Conventions used in spelling names like “de” and “van.” Erroneous assumptions regarding Chinese surnames. The Chinese traditions is to list surname first, as for example, Yam Tim Wing which may end up incorrectly as Wing, Y. T. in some lists compiled in the West and correctly as T. W. Yam in others. Only the last names of some authors are listed. Some entries listed as books may in fact be no more than reprints.

Szlachetko & Marta Kolanowska Summary: The generic separateness of Oncidium, Ornithophora and Sigmatostalix is evaluated based on morphological data. A comparative morphology of the studied genera is provided. The first infrageneric classification of Sigmatostalix is presented. One new combination on the species level is proposed. Keywords: Oncidieae, Petalocentrum, Roezliella, taxonomy, comparative morphology The orchid genus Sigmatostalix was described by Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach (1852) based on Specklinia graminea Poepp. & Endl. which he considered similar in habit and gynostemium morphology to Odontoglossum Kunth and in clinandrium form to Rodriguezia Ruiz. & Pav. The genus was accepted by subsequent authors who considered it related to Odontoglossum and Oncidium Sw. (e.g. Ames & Correll 1953; Schweinfurth 1961; Atwood & Mora-Retana 1999; Dressler 2003; Carnevali & Ramírez-Morillo 2003). Sigmatostalix was included either to Odontoglossinae (originally Odontoglosseae) by Pfitzer (1887) and Kraenzlin (1922) or Oncidiinae by Schlechter (1915), Dressler & Dodson (1960), Dressler (1993), Senghas (1997) and Szlachetko (1995). The genus was treated as well-defined in aspect of its morphology. However, in 1918 Schlechter segregated two new genera from Sigmatostalix : Petalocentrum Schltr. and Roezliella. Schlechter (1918) recognized both taxa as distinguishable from Sigmatostalix in having a sessile lip. Additionally, Petalocentrum was defined by calcariform apices of the petals, unlobed lip and depressed basal lip callus. In contrary, Roezliella species have flat petal apices, 3-lobed lip and excavated callus. The two newly created genera were, however, not accepted by taxonomists.
