  • The Genus Brassavola, (L.) R.Br
    The Genus Brassavola, (L.) R.Br. in W.T.Aiton, Hortus Kew. 5: 216 (1813) Type: Brassavola [B.] cucullata [bra-SAH-vo-la kyoo-kyoo-LAH-ta] There are 28 species (OrchidWiz [update Dec 2017]) that are epiphytes and sometimes lithophytes at elevations of from sea level to 3300 ft (1000 m) from Mexico, southern Caribbean islands to northern Argentina in moist or wet montane forests, mangroves, rocky crevices and cliff faces. They are most fragrant at night and many with a citrus smell. The genus is characterized by very small pencil-like pseudobulbs, often forming large clumps; a single, fleshy, apical, sub-terete leaf and the inflorescence produced form the apex of the pseudobulb. The inflorescence carries from a single to a few large flowers. The floral characteristics are elongate narrow similar sepals and petals, the base of the lip usually tightly rolled around at least a portion of the column which carries 12, sometimes eight unequal pollina with prominent opaque caudicles. The flowers usually occur, as a rule, in spring, summer and fall. The flowers are generally yellow to greenish white with a mostly white lip. It is not unusual for dark spots, usually purple, to be in the region where the sepals, petals, and lip join the stem (claw). This spotting is a dominant generic trait in Brassavola nodose. They are easily cultivated under intermediate conditions. Although this is a relatively small genus (28 species), the species show an unusually close relationship with one another in their floral patterns, coloration, and column structure making identification difficult, key to know where the plants were collected.

  • Generic and Subtribal Relationships in Neotropical Cymbidieae (Orchidaceae) Based on Matk/Ycf1 Plastid Data
    LANKESTERIANA 13(3): 375—392. 2014. I N V I T E D P A P E R* GENERIC AND SUBTRIBAL RELATIONSHIPS IN NEOTROPICAL CYMBIDIEAE (ORCHIDACEAE) BASED ON MATK/YCF1 PLASTID DATA W. MARK WHITTEN1,2, KURT M. NEUBIG1 & N. H. WILLIAMS1 1Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida Gainesville, FL 32611-7800 USA 2Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT. 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. KEY WORDS: Orchidaceae, Cymbidieae, Maxillariinae, matK, ycf1, phylogenetics, Camaridium, Maxillaria cacaoensis, Vargasiella Cymbidieae include many of the showiest align nrITS sequences across the entire tribe was Neotropical epiphytic orchids and an unparalleled unrealistic due to high levels of sequence divergence, diversity in floral rewards and pollination systems. and instead to concentrate our efforts on assembling Many researchers have posed questions such as a larger plastid data set based on two regions (matK “How many times and when has male euglossine and ycf1) that are among the most variable plastid bee pollination evolved?”(Ramírez et al. 2011), or exon regions and can be aligned with minimal “How many times have oil-reward flowers evolved?” ambiguity across broad taxonomic spans.

    www.hengduanbiotech.com e-mail: [email protected] Orchid-List USA, Autumn 2013 (We attend the 2013 Fall Mid-America Orchid Show and Sale in Dayton , Ohio, October 19-20) Welcome at Hengduan Mts. Biotechnology! Hengduan Mts. Biotechnology is a German-Chinese company dedicated to the conservation and cul- tivation of native Chinese orchids. Our base is in Sichuan, Southwest China, in one of the biodiversity hotspots of the world, the Hengduan Mountains System (synonym Mountains of Southwest China), home to about 400 orchid species and the Giant Panda. Our laboratory and subtropical nursery in Chengdu, Sichuan’s capital, as well as the alpine nursery beds in North Sichuan are the tools for in vitro propagation and subsequent raising of a wide range of Chinese orchids, with our specialty be- ing slipper orchids (Cypripedium & Paphiopedilum, but also Phragmipedium and Mexipedium). We create also orchid hybrids and our modern laboratory is further engaged in the production of fruit crop plants and medicinal herbs. Hengduan Mts. Biotechnology is registered with the State Forestry Agency (SFA, the CITES authority of the Peoples Republic of China), as in-vitro propagation facility of CITES appendix I & II orchids and grower of these artificially produced plants. We legally export flasks as well as seedlings of all stages from recently deflasked to flowering size of Paphiopedilum, Cypripedium and many other types of or- chids to North America, the European Union, Japan and other countries. Because the paperwork for every single export involves 7 different governmental agencies with 12 steps, and requires at least 3 months (usually more), we only export once or twice a year to a given region.

  • Crippling American Cattleyas–
    Crippling A Genetic issue in Yellow and Art-Shade Cattleyas And an update of primary hybrids associated with American Cattleyas – Species and Outstanding Clones that Defined American Hybridizing Emphasis on Primary Grexes In the June 2010 issue of Orchids, Ron Midgett discussed the little mention (but well known) issue of crippling, a genetic problem, in yellow and art-shade Cattleyas. It was the bane of efforts to breed good nonfading yellow cattleyas because the parents with the best color crippled. Crippling, which caused a thickening of tissue in the petal, became worse with age (the older the plant, the worse the crippling). It would start as a slightly thickened line of tissue running more or less parallel to the long axis of the petal. It is thought that this tissue was an attempt to create another stamen because in the worst cases a knob of tissue would form at the distal end of the thickened tissue. Inside this knob, one could usually find poorly formed but unmistakable pollinia. In the two pictures of Rhyncholaeliocattleya Golden Queen ‘Regina’ (Golden Crown x C. Miguelito), one shows a flower without crippling and the second, taken at a later blooming, show's severe crippling. This disfigurement of the flower was disheartening. Crippling is a genetic problem and continues in future bloomings, it is NOT sporadic (such as cultural related deformities). C. dowiana ‘Amanda Sofia’ AM/AOS It is generally Apr 2016, NS 11.5 x 16.2 cm accepted that the crippling gene came from the use of a particular clone of Cattleya dowiana (hort.

  • Orchidaceae: Maxillariinae) Based on Combined Molecular Data Sets
    LANKESTERIANA 13(1–2): 1—11. 2013 MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS OF MORMOLYCA (ORCHIDACEAE: MAXILLARIINAE) BASED ON COMBINED MOLECULAR DATA SETS RAFAEL ARÉVALO* & KENNETH M. CAMERON Department of Botany, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 430 Lincoln Drive, Madison, WI 53706-1381, U.S.A. *Author for correspondence: [email protected] ABSTRACT. The Neotropical orchid genus Mormolyca Fenzl, as currently circumscribed, encompasses a diverse group of ca. 27species. Many of these were included traditionally in Maxillaria sect. Rufescens, when similarity of floral morphology was considered foremost in their classification rather than the evolutionary history of the taxa. In order to begin revising species delimitation and clarifying the evolution and biology of the genus, we present a phylogenetic hypothesis using sequence data from five plastid loci (rpoC1, matK gene and flankingtrnK intron, atpB-rbcL intergenic spacer, and the 3’ portion of ycf1) and the nuclear ribosomal internal and external transcribed spacers (ITS, ETS). Resulting trees using both Bayesian and parsimony inference are congruent with each other, and generally well resolved. Based on current level of sampling across Maxillariinae, these molecular data support the monophyly of Mormolyca and shed light on the interspecific phylogenetic patterns within the genus. These include an early divergent paraphyletic grade of Mormolyca species successively sister to a clade with at least two definable subclades within. The latter are characterized by two different flower morphologies that are likely related to their pollination systems. Although not all relationships within the genus are fully resolved or supported, these results offer a first glimpse into the phylogeny of a small group of epiphytic orchids characterized by an unusually high level of variable vegetative characters, floral fragrance profiles, and pollination systems.
