Orchidaceae) from Indonesia, and Fungal Association of Goodyera Section Goodyera Phylogenetic Analyses of subtribe Goodyerinae and Revision of Goodyera section Goodyera (Orchidaceae) from Indonesia, and Fungal Association of Goodyera section Goodyera Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Lina Susanti Juswara, MSc. Graduate Program in Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Paul Fuerst, Advisor Laura Kubatko Hans Klompen Copyright by Lina Susanti Juswara 2010 Abstract Phylogenetic analyses using morphological and molecular data of the orchid subtribe Goodyerinae were performed using parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian methods. Two hypotheses, proposed by Dressler (1993) and Szlachetko (1995), were tested. The results showed that neither hypothesis can be supported, and that there are no morphological characteristics that can define groups within the subtribe Goodyerinae. Monophyletic groups within the subtribe cannot be defined using molecular information from three genes. Systematic revision of Goodyera section Goodyera from Indonesia was investigated using phenetic analyses (cluster analysis, non-metric multidimensional scaling), and discriminant function analysis. The results showed that, of eight forms initially recognized, only three independent taxa can be recognized by these analyses. The independent taxa are Goodyera bifida, G. procera, and G. reticulata. Six subspecies are recognized under Goodyera reticulata. They are G. reticulata subsp. colorata, G. reticulata subsp. gibbsiae, G. reticulata subsp. gemmata, G. reticulate subsp. pusilla, and G. reticulata subsp. reticulata. ii Fungal associations with members of Goodyera section Goodyera from Indonesia were examined using data from the fungal nuclear ITS region. Indonesian species of Goodyera section Goodyera have a broader range of fungal associates than do other taxa from the subtribe that had been previously studied. Members of Goodyera section Goodyera from Indonesia are associated not only with fungi of the phylum Basidiomycetes, including Rhizoctonia-like forms and Russula,, but also with some species from the phylum Ascomycetes. In contrast, temperate species of the subtribe (Goodyera oblongifolia) showed the stricter association with previously defined fungal taxa (Rhizoctonia groups). iii Dedication Dedicated to the students at The Ohio State University iv Acknowledgments Thanks to my committee members: Dr. Paul Fuerst, Dr. Laura Kubatko, and Dr. Hans Klompen for providing scientific assistance during the process of finishing the dissertation.

Transnordestina s.n., 44036-900, Feira de Santana, Bahia, Brazil 3Fazenda Rio do Negro, Entre Rios, Bahia, Brazil Abstract The monospecific genus Discyphus, previously considered a member of Spiranthinae (Orchidoideae: Cranichideae), displays both vegetative and floral morphological peculiarities that are out of place in that subtribe. These include a single, sessile, cordate leaf that clasps the base of the inflorescence and lies flat on the substrate, petals that are long-decurrent on the column, labellum margins free from sides of the column and a column provided with two separate, cup-shaped stigmatic areas. Because of its morphological uniqueness, the phylogenetic relationships of Discyphus have been considered obscure.

  • 65 Possibly Lost Orchid Treasure of Bangladesh
    J. biodivers. conserv. bioresour. manag. 3(1), 2017 POSSIBLY LOST ORCHID TREASURE OF BANGLADESH AND THEIR ENUMERATION WITH CONSERVATION STATUS Rashid, M. E., M. A. Rahman and M. K. Huda Department of Botany, University of Chittagong, Chittagong 4331, Bangladesh Abstract The study aimed at determining the status of occurrence of the orchid treasure of Bangladesh for providing data for Planning National Conservation Strategy and Development of Conservation Management. 54 orchid species are assessed to be presumably lost from the flora of Bangladesh due to environmental degradation and ecosystem depletion. The assessment of their status of occurrence was made based on long term field investigation, collection and identification of orchid taxa; examination and identification of herbarium specimens preserved at CAL, E, K, DACB, DUSH, BFRIH,BCSIRH, HCU; and survey of relevant upto date floristic literature. These species had been recorded from the present Bangladesh territory for more than 50 to 100 years ago, since then no further report of occurrence or collection from elsewhere in Bangladesh is available and could not be located to their recorded localities through field investigations. Of these, 29 species were epiphytic in nature and 25 terrestrial. More than 41% of these taxa are economically very important for their potential medicinal and ornamental values. Enumeration of these orchid taxa is provided with updated nomenclature, bangla name(s) and short annotation with data on habitats, phenology, potential values, recorded locality, global distribution conservation status and list of specimens available in different herbaria. Key words: Orchid species, lost treasure, Bangladesh, conservation status, assessment. INTRODUCTION The orchid species belonging to the family Orchidaceae are represented mostly in the tropical parts of the world by 880 genera and about 26567 species (Cai et al.

Nach den neuesten molekularen Daten, die aus DNA-Sequenzanalysen gewonnen wurden, ist ein Stammbaum erstellt worden, in dem die Neottioideae in die "epidendroids" eingereiht wurden.

Die Ableitung einer Orchideenblüte aus dem Liliiflorae-Erbe ermögliclit eine Differentialdiagnose zwi- schen den Orchidaceae und den Apostasiaceae. Die Apostasiaceae, die viele Autoren als Unterfamilie Apostasioideae zu den Orchidaceae stellen, werden durch vergleichende Blütenanalysen von dieser Familie abgetrennt. Der Entwickiungstendenz des Gynoeceums der Orchideen, durch die es zum Auf- bau eines Rostellums mit seinen Organen kommt, steht die Reduktionstendenz des Gynoeceums der Apostasiaceae, durch die es zu einer Verminderung des ursprünglich trimeren Stigmas kommt, gegen- über.

  • “Lima-Orchid” Chloraea Sp., Have Been Amply Debate
    THE LIMA ORCHID BY SUSI SPITTLER ABSTRACT The habitat and identity of the “Lima-orchid” Chloraea sp ., have been amply debated. Recent work carried out at Lomas de Asia, [close to Lima], where a single specimen of Chloraea was identified as C. undulata , re-sparked the debate. Here new research on this orchid, its identification and its alleged new habitat are presented, together with a recompilation of the studies carried out on species of Chloraea from coastal Peru. The Lima orchid is identified as Chloraea pavonii , and C. undulata is relegated under its synonymy. 1 In 2015, an article was published in Lima about the rediscovered “Lima Orchid”, found on the hills at Lomas de Asia (Llellish Juscamayta 2015), which re-sparked debates on the possible new habitat and identity of Chloraea, the famous “Lima Orchid”. Let us start with the article by Llellish Juscamayta (2015), which has driven us to conduct this research. According to the author, the hills of Asia were claimed by Raimondi, Weberbauer and Maish (Perú 2010. "Flora Perpetua" Arte y Ciencia botánica de Antonio Raimondi:Tomo III. Antonio Raimondi: Botánico Ilustre: 135- 155. Lima) as the type location for C. undulata Raimondi. As a consequence of urban expansion, the author noted that the populations of the “Lima Orchid” have declined and, in certain cases, have been recorded as very rare or extinct (see Roque and León 2006). He cited Colunga (1878), who referred to C. undulata as “maybe the only indigenous species of Chloraea in Peru” and added that it “is found in the vicinity of the hills of Lima: it has a height of one meter, more or less: with elliptic-oblong leaves: the flowers are arranged in clusters: with a golden yellow perianth with greenish veins: the labellum is unguiculate and 2 trilobe”.

Instituto de Biología, Facultad de Ciencias, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, Campus Curauma, Avenida Universidad 330, Valparaíso, Chile. *[email protected] ABSTRACT Orchids require symbiotic fungi and/or specific conditions to germinate. Asymbiotic techniques have been shown successful for orchid germination. In Chile, Chloraea include many endemic, and potentially ornamental, terrestrial orchid species. In this study, individuals of Chloraea crispa, C. gavilu and C. virescens were manually autopollinated. The resulting capsules were sterilized and seeds were aseptically obtained. We evaluated asymbiotic germination in: Agar Water (AW), Knudson C (KC), Banana Culture Media (CMB), Tomato Culture Media (CMT), Malmgren Modified (MM), Murashige and Skoog (MS), and MS modified (MS1/2). Seeds were incubated in the dark at 24±1 ºC for 2 weeks. Then they were put in 16/8 h light/dark cycles for 14 weeks. We registered germination and embryo development in the different culture media. After 8 weeks, all tested Chloraea species germinated in most culture media. After 16 weeks, embryos in MM showed an evident shoot. In AW only the pre-germination stage was achieved.

  • Fungal Diversity Driven by Bark Features Affects Phorophyte
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Fungal diversity driven by bark features afects phorophyte preference in epiphytic orchids from southern China Lorenzo Pecoraro1*, Hanne N. Rasmussen2, Sofa I. F. Gomes3, Xiao Wang1, Vincent S. F. T. Merckx3, Lei Cai4 & Finn N. Rasmussen5 Epiphytic orchids exhibit varying degrees of phorophyte tree specifcity. We performed a pilot study to investigate why epiphytic orchids prefer or avoid certain trees. We selected two orchid species, Panisea unifora and Bulbophyllum odoratissimum co-occurring in a forest habitat in southern China, where they showed a specifc association with Quercus yiwuensis and Pistacia weinmannifolia trees, respectively. We analysed a number of environmental factors potentially infuencing the relationship between orchids and trees. Diference in bark features, such as water holding capacity and pH were recorded between Q. yiwuensis and P. weinmannifolia, which could infuence both orchid seed germination and fungal diversity on the two phorophytes. Morphological and molecular culture-based methods, combined with metabarcoding analyses, were used to assess fungal communities associated with studied orchids and trees. A total of 162 fungal species in 74 genera were isolated from bark samples. Only two genera, Acremonium and Verticillium, were shared by the two phorophyte species. Metabarcoding analysis confrmed the presence of signifcantly diferent fungal communities on the investigated tree and orchid species, with considerable similarity between each orchid species and its host tree, suggesting that the orchid-host tree association is infuenced by the fungal communities of the host tree bark. Epiphytism is one of the most common examples of commensalism occurring in terrestrial environments, which provides advantages, such as less competition and increased access to light, protection from terrestrial herbivores, and better fower exposure to pollinators and seed dispersal 1,2.

E-mail: [email protected] The main phytogeographic regions within the eastern part of the Indochinese Peninsula are delimited on the basis of analysis of recent literature on geology, geomorphology and climatology of the region, as well as numerous recent literature information on phytogeography, flora and vegetation. The following six phytogeographic regions (at the rank of floristic province) are distinguished and outlined within eastern Indochina: Sikang-Yunnan Province, South Chinese Province, North Indochinese Province, Central Annamese Province, South Annamese Province and South Indochinese Province. Short descriptions of these floristic units are given along with analysis of their floristic relationships.
