Madagascar-Pre-Orders-2019.Pdf Following is a price list of the orchids that may be pre-ordered from Madagascar. Please place your order via email to [email protected] by MAY 26, 2019. Your total payment will be calculated and you will be notified by MAY 27. Your payment must be received by MAY 29. Please let us know your preferred payment method when you order; we can send invoices via Square or Paypal or you may mail your payment. The shipping cost will be based on how many and which plants you order, i.e. a large order of larger sized plants will cost more to ship from us to you. For example, the Cynorkis are dormant and are tiny “bulbs” whereas the Eulophiellas are large and must ship in boxes that exceed the standard USPS one cubic foot rate. The plants will be sent via USPS Priority Mail (unless you request and pay otherwise) within one day of arrival at Botanica Ltd. When you place your order, please let us know if you’d prefer an invoice via Square or PayPal, or if you’re a repeat customer, you may mail your payment. Please do keep in mind, that though these plants will be healthy when they depart Madagascar, the import process is traumatic. Imported orchids are always somewhat stressed and can be challenging. These plants will be coming to us from the southern hemisphere where it will be approaching their winter while it will be nearing our summer. Please email with questions.

  • An Introduction to the Epiphytic Orchids of East Africa
    Sphyrarchynchus sp. Cyrtorchis crassifoHa Schltr. AN INTRODUCTION TO THE EPIPHYTIC ORCHIDS OF EAST AFRICA. By W. M. MOREAU AND R. E. MOREAU. C()IYl,tents. 1. Introduction. 2. Nomenclature and classification. 3. General ecology. 4. The orchid flower. 5. Published and unpublished sources of East African records. 6. Tentative field key to the genera. 7. Annotated check-list of species. 1. INTRODUCTION. Over fifteen thousand species of orchids have been described, the vast majority of them tropical, and the greater part of them epiphytic, that is, normally growing on trees without deriving sustenance from them. But little more than ten per cent of the majestic total belong to Tropical Africa and moreover, so far as is known at present, within that area ground orchids predominate over epiphytic in the proportion of more than three to one. There is reason to believe that these figures are a reflection rather of our ignorance than of the truth. Because the Tropical African epiphytic orchids are not characterised by the magni• ficence and opulence of those of other regions, they have not attracted the commercial collector and certainly are most imperfectly known. Yet the local orchids display a delightful diversity of adaptation and of form. None are flamboyant, but many are beautiful, some are exquisitely dainty and a few are bizarre. They appeal to the same feelings and are capable of arousing the same enthusiasms as succulents or alpine plants. Moreover, anyone who takes the comparatively little trouble required to collect and grow them has the additional satisfaction of knowing that he is contributing to scientific knowledge.

  • Aerangis Articulata by Brenda Oviatt and Bill Nerison an Exquisite Star from Madagascar
    COLLECTor’s item by Brenda Oviatt and Bill Nerison Aerangis articulata An Exquisite Star from Madagascar IN ALL HONESTY, WHEN WE FOUND out that our photo of Aerangis articulata was chosen for the cover of Isobyl la Croix’s (2014) new book Aerangis, we were more than just a little excited! We decided that this is a perfect opportunity to tell people more about Aergs. articulata and give an introduction to her new book. We will try and help clarify the confusion surrounding the identification of this species, describe what to look for if you intend to buy one and discuss culture to help you grow and bloom it well. We love angraecoids, and the feature that most share and what sets them apart is their spurs or nectaries. In some orchid species, attracting the pollinator is all about fooling someone (quite often an insect). Some will mimic a female insect while others will mimic another type of flower to attract that flower’s pollinator. Oftentimes the u n s u s p e c t i n g insect gets nothing in return; not the promised mate or the nectar of the Brenda Oviatt and mimicked flower. Bill Nerison With angraecoids, the pollinator is often rewarded with a sweet treat: nectar that sits in the bottom of the spur. The pollinator of Aergs. articulata is a hawk moth (DuPuy, et al 1999) whose proboscis can reach that nectar. These moths are attracted by the sweet nighttime fragrance TT (scented much like a gardenia) and by the A VI O white flower (more visible than a colored A D flower in the dark).

  • Lankesteriana 1
    LANKESTERIANA 4(1): 47-56. 2004. NOTES ON THE CARIBBEAN ORCHID FLORA. V. NEW SPECIES, COMBINATIONS AND RECORDS JAMES D. ACKERMAN Department of Biology, University of Puerto Rico, PO Box 23360 San Juan, PR 00931-3360, USA [email protected] ABSTRACT. Three species of Orchidaceae are described as new to science: a Telipogon and a Lankesterella from the Dominican Republic and an Encyclia from Cuba. Telipogon niri is based on material collected by Donald Dod from the Cordillera Central A rare species, T. niri was previously recognized as Stellilabium minutiflorum (Kraenzl.) Garay, a distinct species from Central America. The generic name has changed due to unequivocal molecular evidence offered by Norris Williams, and the specific epithet honors Dr. Mark Nir, an avid student of Caribbean orchids. Lankesterella glandula is also based on material collected by Dod from the Cordillera Central. Thus far known only from the type collection, it is the second representative of the genus in Hispaniola. Encyclia monteverdensis is described from 19th century Charles Wright collections from Monte Verde, Cuba. The combination, Dendrophylax filiformis (Sw.) Carlsward & Whitten, suffers as a later homonym and is replaced by the next available name in the new combination Dendrophylax mon- teverdi (Rchb. f.) Ackerman & Nir. Cyclopogon miradorensis Schltr. is reported for the island of Dominica; Cranichis ricartii Ackerman is noted for the island of Guadeloupe; Cranichis ovata Wickstr. and Psilochilus macrophyllus (Lindl.) Ames are noted for Montserrat; and Trinidad is another locality for C. ovata. In addi- tion, Eurystyles domingensis Dod and two Malaxis species are added to the Cuban flora: M.

  • Cytotaxonomy of the Monopodial Orchids of the African and Malagasy Regions
    Cytotaxonomy of the monopodial orchids of the African and Malagasy regions J. C. Arends & F. M. Van der Laan Department of Plant Taxonomy and Plant Geography, Agricultural University, Gen. Foulkesweg 37, 6700 ED Wageningen, The Netherlands Abstract The three subtribes which are recognized within the tribe Vandeae are represented in the tropical African and Malagasy regions. All taxa of the Vandeae have a monopodial growth habit. The first subtribe, Sarcanthinae, is mainly Asian-Australasian, but a few of its species occur in Madagascar and in Africa. The other two subtribes, Angraecinae and Aerangidinae, are both represented in the latter two regions. The Angraecinae ischaracterize d by the presence of a short rostellum, but this iselongate d in the Aerangidinae. According to earlier authors there is a correlation between presence of the short rostellum and a basic chromosome number of x= 19i nth e Angraecinae, and between the presence of an elongated rostellum and a basic number of x = 25 in the Aerangidinae. The results presented in this paper are placed in perspective with the chromosome numbers recorded by other authors. From the resulting chromosome number survey it appears that only part of the Angraecinae (Aeranthes, several species of Angraecum. Cryptopus and Jumellea) have a basic number of x = 19; some members of the Angraecinae (other species of Angraecum) were found to have a basic number of x = 21,24 and 25. The Aerangidinae is not characterized by a single basic number of x= 25 but by aserie s ranging from x = 23t o x= 27,o f which x= 23,24 and 25ar e the most frequent.

  • Aerangis Hariotiana by Brenda Oviatt and Bill Nerison Photgraphs and Drawing by Brenda Oviatt
    COLLECTor’s item Aerangis hariotiana by Brenda Oviatt and Bill Nerison Photgraphs and drawing by Brenda Oviatt The Aerangis Formerly Known as ... Aerangis hariotiana can produce a plethora of long-lasting, brightly colored flowers. Grower: Botanica Ltd. 590 ORCHIDS AUGUST 2016 WWW.AOS.ORG WHAT’S IN A name? This plant is better known by its former name; Microterangis hariotiana or even Chamaeangis hariotiana. Prior to that, it was also called Saccolabium hariotianum, and was first described in 1897 as Mystacidium hariotianum. Names aside, this is a charming, floriferous, colorful semiminiature orchid and we are excited to write about it; it’s a rewarding orchid to grow. Our specimen was beginning to bloom and we were sure we could get some excellent photos of this extraordinary plant. Mature, multigrowth plants will produce many spikes and are very long-lasting (read the culture section to find out why no such photo is included in this article). We began doing research about the history of the species and found that confusion seems to be prevalent with regard to it, especially on the Internet. We decided to look at the plant from a different angle for this article. First, some back- ground. The ge- nus Chamaeangis was established by Rudolf Schlechter in 1915 and, even at that point, he divided it into two Brenda Oviatt and sections based on Bill Nerison differences in the flower structure: Chamaeangis and Microterangis. He noted that there were enough differences between the sections that section 1 Microterangis might be elevated to genus level at some point (which was done in now called Diaphananthe odoratissima.
