  • 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.

Wien 103 B 525 - 555 Wien, Dezember 2001 Contributions to a reassessment of Costa Rican Zygopetalinae (Orchidaceae). The genus Kefersteinia RcHB.f. Franco Pupulin* Abstract A revision of the Costa Rican species pertaining to the genus Kefersteinia RcHB.f. is presented. Phylo- genetic relationships of the genus are discussed. Ten species are accepted for Costa Rica and a key to the species is provided, together with references to the types and synonyms, a detailed description, etymology, general distribution and examined specimens in the study area, ecological notes, taxonomic discussion and a composite illustration for each taxon. A new species, Kefersteinia endresii PUPULIN, is described and illu- strated. Lectotypes are selected for Zygopetalum lacteum RcHB.f., Kefersteinia alba SCHLTR., K. micro- charis SCHLTR. and K. parvilabris SCHLTR. Key words: Orchidaceae, Zygopetalinae, Kefersteinia, Kefersteinia endresii, Costa Rica, systematics, taxonomy Introduction Although the Zygopetalinae appear to be a natural group of the Orchidaceae, its divisi- on into several formal subgroups has proven to be difficult. Within the subtribe, delimi- tation of genera is particularly critical in the Chondrorhyncha alliance. Despite the pre- sence in all the genera of the complex of a common variant in the seed type with res- pect to the Maxillaria type (DRESSLER 1981), vegetative and floral characters do not seem to correlate consistently enough to permit the definition of clear generic bounda- ries.

  • Amherst Orchid Society Newsletter May 2016 Online Edition
    The Newsletter of the Amherst Orchid Society Greater Whorled Pogonia An affiliate of the American Orchid Society April Meeting Roger West A small group was present for this meeting. No new news was discussed. We had a speaker this month and she talked about species that were cold and warm growers. Isabel Lopatin focused on species that grew in the two Tropic zones. The Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn were the areas that these wildly adaptable orchids grew. In other words, orchids that you could grow either cold or warm. Dendrobiums were the main genera dis- cussed, and the type that the speaker grew in her basement and in windows. The talk was informative as she dis- cussed the growing culture on these supposedly easy to grow plants. The show table was very full for this time of the year and was dominated by five large specimen plants. Look at the list below to see if you can figure out which were grown into specimen plants. Chondrorhynchas Steve Steiner I noticed a plant labeled “Chondrorhyncha discolor” in bud and I thought I could write an article about the genus. I have a book “Huntleyas and related orchids” by Patricia Harding and thought I was all set. I have 2 clones of C. discolor and Chondrorhyncha lendyana as well as a C.discolor hybrid. Imagine my surprise when, according to Ms. Harding, it turned out that none of the plants were still considered Chondrorhynchas. C. discolor is now Warczewiczella discolor. While C. lendyana “Frisky” is now Stenotyla lendyana “Frisky”.

  • 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.

This study aimed to analyze the in vitro development of Catasetum fimbriatum under different concentrations of jasmonic acid in Murashige & Skoog culture medium compound of ½ macronutrients. After 180 days of cultivation, concentration of 0.25 and 0.50 μL • L-1 caused a significant increase in number of roots and leaves. The concentration of 1.00 μL • L-1 showed the best result for the length of longest root and largest leaf, the total length of seedling, and the total fresh and dry masses. Nevertheless, the use of this plant regulator on in vitro culture media still requires further investigations to determine the optimal concentration in order to obtain desirable phytotechnical characteristics in different orchid species.
