China 3 Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Menglun Township, Mengla County, Yunnan province 666303, P.R. China Author for correspondence: Xiao-Hua Jin, [email protected] Abstract The phylogenetic position of two enigmatic Asian orchid genera, Thaia and Tangtsinia, were inferred from molecular data and morphological evidence. An analysis of combined plastid data (rbcL + matK + psaB) using Bayesian and parsimony methods revealed that Thaia is a sister group to the higher epidendroids, and tribe Neottieae is polyphyletic unless Thaia is removed. Morphological evidence, such as plicate leaves and corms, the structure of the gynostemium and the micromorphol- ogy of pollinia, also indicates that Thaia should be excluded from Neottieae. Thaieae, a new tribe, is therefore tentatively established. Using Bayesian and parsimony methods, analyses of combined plastid and nuclear datasets (rbcL, matK, psaB, trnL-F, ITS, Xdh) confirmed that the monotypic genus Tangtsinia was nested within and is synonymous with the genus Cepha- lanthera, in which an apical stigma has evolved independently at least twice.

Plants need ’far red’ a reflector above it to direct most of the light light to initiate the flowering cycle. I once used straight down if this is desired.

The reason for this was simple. Plants that were called "Odontoglossum" back in those days did well for me on my windowsill in Sweden. The problem was they all came from Mexico or Guatemala (and are not called “odontoglossums" anymore) and I knew that the really inter­ esting ones existed only in the humid Andean cloud forests of South America. So I went there to find them. Another little problem was that I knew nothing about how or where they grew. Our team of three orchid enthusiasts therefore hired an old Nissan Patrol in Quito, which had its best days long gone, and bravely puttered across the high and mighty cordilleras and occa­ sionally plunged right into an Odontoglossum lover's heaven. We were also extremely lucky to hit the flowering season for many species. Large plants of Odontoglossum hall! grew high up in the trees, displaying magnificent flower shows. And when I held my first blooming Odontoglossum cirrhosum in my trembling hands I knew that I had been spellbound for life. The absolutely exquisite and sweetly scented flowers were, and still are, the essence of pure beauty. When we are emotionally engaged in whatever the cause, our judgments may not always work on all cylinders, and we sometimes make poor decisions.

The user has requested enhancement of the downloaded file. The Genus Systeloglossum ROBERT L. DRESSLER AND NORRIS H. WILLIAMS HE COMPLEX OF GENERA which make up the subtribe Oncidiinae are notable for their great diversity of flower structure. It is not surprising T that Schlechter grouped these genera into as many as ten different btribes. How can one imagine close relationships between Notylia and ~richoPilia, or Quekettia and Odontoglossum? In spite of their striking differences, we now group them all into the subtribe Oncidiinae, for two 'mportant reasons. First, crossing experiments, especially those of Mr. Moir, ~ave shown that the whole group is closely tied together by interfertility. We may not be able to cross Comparettia with Brassia, but we can cross both with Oncidium. The second reason for grouping them together is that even the morphological differences do not hold up very well on close inspection. Notylia may seem very different from Trichopilia, but Notylia and Macradenia are surely closely related, and Macradenia and Trichopilia subulata are perhaps more similar to each other than T .

When virtual benching was first proposed I thought it might take members a little while to get on board with the idea. But no, there was terrific participation right from the start and a magical 6 page array of delicious, very professionally presented orchids, was created by Jenny. It included Cattleyas of all kinds and colours, Dendrobiums, Oncidiinae hybrids and rare species. It was just amazing. 14 different members contributed and if you count husbands and wives as separate it would be even more. The Fulchers provided a whole page of photos of orchids in flower from their collection, and even added a little info on each.

  • 9 Production Technology of Commercial Epiphytic Orchids For
    9 Production Technology of Commercial Epiphytic Orchids for Cut flowers The term “Cut flowers” refers to blossoms or flower buds that are cut with branches, leaves and stems. Fresh cut flowers are highly perishable because they maintain only limited life supporting processes by absorbing water through their stems. They are used for bouquet preparation, decorations, vase arrangements; designs for weddings and funerals; gifts on occasions; informal display to beautify home and public places. Cut flowers are the most important floricultural products in the international flower trade. The most traded flower crops include roses, carnations, chrysanthemums, dahlia, gerbera, gladiolus, gypsophila, liatris, nerine, orchids, poinsettias, achillea, anthur- ium, tulips and lilies. These flowers are cultivated in open fields or protected structure. Epiphytes grow on trees or other objects above ground level, but they do not act as parasites. Plants living epiphytically in a tropical rain forest face better light con- ditions than plants living on the ground level. On top of that, epiphytes are more easily pollinated by flying pollinators. The roots of an epiphyte are developed for a life above soil.
