Typification of Infrageneric Taxa in Dendrobium(Orchidaceae)
Typification of infrageneric taxa in Dendrobium (Orchidaceae) André Schuiteman Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey, TW9 3AB, United Kingdom; e-mail: [email protected] Introduction Abstract The nomenclature of infrageneric taxa in Orchidaceae on occasion In order to stabilise the nomenclature borders on the chaotic. In the past, names were often proposed in a of infrageneric taxa in Dendrobium, type species are chosen for those highly informal fashion, with little concern for typification, priority, taxa for which this has not been precise circumscription, or even ranking. Such names were frequently done previously. In all, 35 names are applied to sets of species which had little in common beyond one or typified, including one genus name a few key characters. Those who used these names rarely cited their (Onychium), and assigned to sections authors, while the circumscription of the taxa often varied considerably of Dendrobium as recognised in Genera Orchidacearum. from one botanist to the next. It was not uncommon that earlier names were deliberately disregarded, to be replaced with new names that Keywords: Dendrobium, infrageneric taxa, nomenclature, taxonomy more or less covered the same groups. As a result, the nomenclature and systematics of many infrageneric taxa were, and sometimes still are, Muelleria 30(1): 3–7 (2012) extremely confused. In Dendrobium, one of the largest orchid genera with some 1500 species (Pridgeon et al., in prep.), well over 200 subgenera, sections and subsections have been proposed. Examples of all the problems just mentioned can be found in abundance in this gargantuan taxon. Fortunately, many of these problems can be solved rather easily by carefully typifying the taxa involved. -

The diversity of wild orchids in the southern slope of Mount Merapi, Yogyakarta, Indonesia eight years after the 2010 eruption. Biodiversitas 21: 4457-4465. The ecosystem of the slopes of Mount Merapi is mountain tropical forest which is frequently affected by volcanic activities. The dynamics of the volcano affect the diversity and abundance of orchids in the ecosystem. Tritis is an area included in the Turgo Hill of the southern slope of Mount Merapi and is under the management of Mount Merapi National Park. The ecosystem in Tritis area classified as lower mountain forest and it has been affected by Mount Merapi eruption. This study aimed to do an inventory of orchid species in Tritis to know the diversity and abundance of orchids that exist in this area. -

A total of 281 individuals were used to construct regional descriptions of D. kingianum and 139 individuals were measured for 19 morphological characters, and similarities and differences among specimens summarised using multivariate statistical methods. Patterns of morphological variation within D. kingianum are consistent with a single variable species that expresses clinal variation, with short-growing plants in the south and taller plants in the northern part of the distribution. The nrITS gene tree suggests two subgroups within D. kingianum subsp. kingianum, one comprising northern, the other southern individuals, which may overlap in the vicinity of Dorrigo, New South Wales.

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. -
Studies of West Malesian Agrostophyllum Blume (Orchidaceae)
Taiwania, 57(3): 251-262, 2012 Studies of West Malesian Agrostophyllum Blume (Orchidaceae) Paul Ormerod P.O. Box 8210, Cairns 4870, Queensland, Australia. Email: [email protected] (Manuscript received 6 March 2012; accepted 20 March 2012) ABSTRACT: Studies of West Malesian material of the genus Agrostophyllum reveals that three previously described species should be treated as new synonyms of earlier named entities, namely A. arundinaceum Ridl. (= A. cyathiforme J.J.Sm.), A. mearnsii Ames (= A. globiceps Schltr.) and A. wenzelii Ames (= A. glumaceum Hook.f.). However A. formosanum Rolfe is found to be a good species, distinct from A. inocephalum (Schauer) Rchb.f. On the other hand five new taxa have been recognised and are proposed here, namely A. asahanense, A. boeeanum, A. galeandrae, A. maliauense and A. pseudolaxum. KEY WORDS: Malesia, Agrostophyllum, new species. INTRODUCTION (Holotype: AMES!). The genus Agrostophyllum Blume currently Affinis A. djaratense Schltr. sed sepalis brevioribus contains about 102 species (new taxa included) (2.75-3.80 vs. 5 mm), epichilo ovato-suborbicularis, distributed from the Seychelles to Samoa.

Blume f. conformis Hi- ros. Hayak. et J. Yokoy., which occurs in the vicinity of the Tsukuba mountain range in Ibaraki Prefec- ture, Japan. This peloric form is sympatric with C. falcata f. falcata. The peloric flowers have a petal-like lip. The flowers are radially symmetrical and the perianth parts spread weakly compared to normal flow- ers. The stigmas are positioned at the column apex, thus neighboring stigmas and the lower parts of the pollinia are conglutinated. We observed similar vegetative traits among C. falcata f. falcata, C. falcata f. albescens S. Kobayashi, and C. falcata f. conformis. The floral morphology in C. falcata f. conformis resembles that of C. nanchuanica (S.C. Chen) X.H. Jin et X.G. Xiang (i.e., similar petal-like lip and stig- ma position at the column apex; syn.

Dananjaya Kottawa-Arachchi1,*, R. Samantha Gunasekara2 1Tea Research Institute of Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka 2Lanka Nature Conservationists, Sri Lanka *e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Received: 24.03.2020. Revised: 22.05.2020. Accepted: 29.05.2020. Together with Western Ghats, Sri Lanka is a biodiversity hotspot amongst the 35 regions known worldwide. Considering the Sri Lankan orchids, 70.6% of the orchid species, including 84% of the endemics, are categorised as threatened. The distribution of the family Orchidaceae is mostly correlated with the distribution pattern of the main bioclimatic zones which is governed by the amount and intensity of rainfall and altitude. Habitat deterioration and degradation, clearing of vegetation, intentional forest fires and spread of invasive alien species are significant threats to native species. Illegally collection and exporting of indigenous species has been another alarming issue in the past decades. Protection of native species, increased public awareness, enforcement of legislation and introduction of new propagation techniques would certainly bring a beneficial effect to the native orchid flora. Conduct awareness programs, strengthen existing laws, and reviewing the legal framework related to the native orchid flora could be vital for future conservation. Apart from the identification of new species and their distribution, future research on understanding soil chemical and physical parameters of terrestrial habitats, plant association of terrestrial orchids, phenology patterns and interactions of pollinators, associations with mycorrhiza, effect of invasive alien species and impact of climate change are highlighted.
