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. In this study, we analyse nucleotide sequences of plastid and nuclear DNA under maximum parsimony

  • Bifoliate Cattleyas - Cattleya Tigrina (Syn
    St. Augustine Orchid Society www.staugorchidsociety.org Bifoliate Cattleyas - Cattleya tigrina (syn. leopoldii) by Sue Bottom, [email protected] If your orchids do not bloom much during the heat of the summer, you might consider adding some bifoliate cattleyas to your collection. There are small varieties like Cattleya walkeriana, aclandiae and violacea that do not take up too much space and bloom several times a year. Then there are the large varieties like Cattleya tigrina, which was called leopoldii for years. It has beautiful clusters of flowers held on stems above the foliage. Courtney describes these bifoliates as multiflora cattleyas in his book American Cattleyas: A multiflora cattleya is one where the inflorescence is the focus of hybridizing instead of the individual flower. Typically there are more than seven flowers on a single inflorescence arranged as a mass instead of as a series of individual flowers. While the parent species are usually bifoliate, not all bifoliates are multifloras… Multifloras are separated from all other groups discussed because the form of each individual flower, although important, is not the focus of the hybrid. The perfect multiflora cattleya has a mass of flowers with each flower fully open and barely coming in contact with other flowers in the inflorescence so that from all sides there are no large gaps between flowers. The form of each individual flower should be as closed (petals and sepals overlapping) as possible, given the parentage. The arrangement of flowers on the stem is more important than individual flower form. The typical color form of Cattleya tigrina (syn.

  • The Genus Encyclia (Hooker, Bot. Mag. 55: T. 2831 [1828]) Type: Encyclia Viridiflora [En-SEE-Clee-Ah Vi-Rid-I-FLOR-A]
    The Genus Encyclia (Hooker, Bot. Mag. 55: t. 2831 [1828]) Type: Encyclia viridiflora [en-SEE-clee-ah vi-rid-i-FLOR-a] There are 183 species and 16 natural hybrids (OrchidWiz [update Sep 2017]) that are mostly epiphytes that can be separated into two subgenera (not widely accepted but culturally convenient). Members of the subgenus Encyclia are principally found in seasonally dry forest at elevations from sea level to 1000 meters, while members of the subgenus Osmophytum are found in wet forest from sea level to 3,000 meters. Encyclias are distributed throughout the tropical Americas (including the West Indies, see distribution map below) with the center of distribution being in Mexico. These plants are highly variable, clump-forming, evergreen with the genus characterized by the presence of pseudobulbs; the apical inflorescence; the flowers not exceeding four centimeters in diameter; the lip free from the column for most of its length; the column without a foot; and the four hard pollinia attached to caudicles. The slender, often multibranched, numerous to few-flowered inflorescence, borne from the stem tip, has showy, wonderfully fragrant flowers found in a wide range of colors and shades of yellow, brown, green or rare pink. The flowers have similar sepals and petals. The widely varied, Encyclia viridiflora entire or trilobed lip encircles the stout or slender, footless column, but is never fully attached. These plants are best mounted on branches or tree fern plaques and generally do best in intermediate conditions. Encyclia is part of the Cattleya alliance and is often used in Cattleya alliance breeding.
