  • Review of Selected Literature and Epiphyte Classification
    --------- -- ---------· 4 CHAPTER 1 REVIEW OF SELECTED LITERATURE AND EPIPHYTE CLASSIFICATION 1.1 Review of Selected, Relevant Literature (p. 5) Several important aspects of epiphyte biology and ecology that are not investigated as part of this work, are reviewed, particularly those published on more. recently. 1.2 Epiphyte Classification and Terminology (p.11) is reviewed and the system used here is outlined and defined. A glossary of terms, as used here, is given. 5 1.1 Review of Selected, Relevant Li.terature Since the main works of Schimper were published (1884, 1888, 1898), particularly Die Epiphytische Vegetation Amerikas (1888), many workers have written on many aspects of epiphyte biology and ecology. Most of these will not be reviewed here because they are not directly relevant to the present study or have been effectively reviewed by others. A few papers that are keys to the earlier literature will be mentioned but most of the review will deal with topics that have not been reviewed separately within the chapters of this project where relevant (i.e. epiphyte classification and terminology, aspects of epiphyte synecology and CAM in the epiphyt~s). Reviewed here are some special problems of epiphytes, particularly water and mineral availability, uptake and cycling, general nutritional strategies and matters related to these. Also, all Australian works of any substance on vascular epiphytes are briefly discussed. some key earlier papers include that of Pessin (1925), an autecology of an epiphytic fern, which investigated a number of factors specifically related to epiphytism; he also reviewed more than 20 papers written from the early 1880 1 s onwards.

  • Phalaenopsis
    Chapter 23 Phalaenopsis Chia-Chi Hsu, Hong-Hwa Chen, and Wen-Huei Chen Abstract Phalaenopsis is one of the most popular cultivated orchids worldwide. So far, 92 native species and 34,112 hybrids of Phalaenopsis have been registered in the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), but only 18 native species are frequently used for breeding. In Phalaenopsis market, large flowers with various colors are most popular. Phal. amabilis and Phal. aphrodite are the major species used for breeding the white-and-large-flower hybrids. The colored hybrids include pink, red- to- purple, green, yellow-to-orange, and black colors, as well as distinct colors in tepals with red lip. For large-and-red flowers,Phal. schilleriana and Phal. sanderiana are the major parent species, whereas Phal. equestris and Phal. pulcherrima are important for the development of the small- and medium-sized red flowers. Members of the subgenusPolychilos are the most important ancestors for yellow-to-orange flowers. More recently, there is an increased interest in plants with white, pink, or yellow colors with red stripes and/or spots. These traits are introduced from Phal. lindenii, Phal. stuartiana, and Phal. amboinensis. Furthermore, harlequin flowers which have clown-like spots and very complicated color patterns are released in the market, as well as hybrids with peloric and Bigfoot flowers. Besides color, scent and (a)biotic stress resistance are becoming important targets in Phalaenopsis breeding. Keywords Bigfoot · Breeding · Harlequin · Orchids · Peloric · Phalaenopsis C.-C.

  • Orchitheek 1 Uitgave: Nederlandse Orchideeën Vereniging
    Nederlandse Orchideeën Vereniging – Orchitheek 1 Uitgave: Nederlandse Orchideeën Vereniging. Auteursrechten voorbehouden Phalaenopsis hieroglyphica Rchb.f. Sectie Zebrinae Syn. Phalaenopsis lueddemanniana ssp. Hieroglyphica Deze plant werd gevonden door P. Micholitz in het jaar 1890 op de zuidelijke eilanden van de Filippijnen in het Sulu-gebied, en werd overgebracht naar de Fa. Low en Co in Engeland. Ze werd door F. Reichenbach beschreven en gepubliceerd in de Gardeners’ Chronicle als Ph.lueddemanniana ssp. hieroglyphica. Deze naam is waarschijnlijk ontleend aan de kleur en tekening van de bloem. Verspreiding Het verspreidingsgebied is de groep zuidelijke eilanden in de Sulu-archipel (Filippijnen), waar de planten op bomen groeien die langs riviertjes staan in het laagland op een hoogte van 500 m. Beschrijving De planten groeien in een horizontale, lichtelijk omhoog gerichte stand tegen de bomen, of in humusnesten in de vorken van takken in de bomen. Zij hebben geen schijnknollen of bulben; de bladeren ontspruiten uit het hart van de wortelstok dicht opeen, zijn langwerpig, puntig aan het uiteinde, met een nerf in het midden. De kleur is effen grasgroen; bladeren stevig, niet vlezig en dik. De planten vormen niet meer dan 1 nieuw blad per groeiseizoen; het zijn uitgesproken trage groeiers. De wortels zijn zilverachtig en rond, vertakken zich en zijn 5 mm in dwarsdoorsnede. De bloemtakken ontwikkelen zich aan de onderkant van de wortelstok en tussen de onderste, oudste bladeren. Ze worden ongeveer 30 cm lang en jaar na jaar worden op dezelfde bloemtak bloemen geproduceerd. Naarmate de plant ouder wordt, neemt het aantal bloemen toe. Zoals exemplaren van andere ondersoorten van Ph.lueddemanniana wel doen, produceren zij geen jonge planten aan de bloemtakken.

Box 230, BABINDA 4861 Phone: 0740 671 577 Newsletter 53 December 2005 MAJORS MOUNTAIN - A WALK TO PARADISE FOR A NATIVE ORCHID GROWER t~r; I1 -&d by Mark Nowochatko In Mid August 2005 the Atherton Tablelands Branch of SGAP conducted a field day at Major's Mountain, just east of Ravenshoe on the Evelyn Tableland in North Queensland. A group of 20 plus diehard SGAP enthusiasts met at the trailhead and undertook the walk of approximately 3 km one way. With the first 2.1 km easy going, the balance is a strenuous climb to an elevation of around 1,100 metres. II I1 Moving from the main track to the Major's Mountain goat trail, the orchids started with a Plectorrhiza tridentata and several Bulbophyllurns. Shortly after the steep climbing starts the orchid zone is reached. The pace slowed considerably as everyone explored this wonderful orchid habitat, and the difficulty of the walk faded away. Dendrobium adae in bloom greeted the walkers; some flowers with a significant amount of red on the back of the tepals caught the interest of several people. Amongst the orchids in bloom visible at eye level was Sarcochilusfalcatus. The plants are small with flowers nearly as large as the plants. A stunning Sarcochilus borealis (olivaceous) on a tree trunk barely 100 mm off the ground tested the determination of several photographers. (Mind you the ground was sloping up at over 50°.*) Several plants of Taeniophyllum were found carrying seed pods, but without the flowers positive identification of the species was not possible.
