February 2008 2 Member Spotlight Maureen Pulignano I grew up in Southern California, where my mother nurtured a few orchids along with the ferns and other tropicals she treasured. My love of all plants and flowers came from her, as well as a bit of a green thumb. Transplanted to South Florida in 1975, I bought my first few orchids from a small garden shop - a shop with a large, hand-lettered There are also some great rewards like blooming my first sign saying, "Lawn Mowers Sharpened" - on Masdevalia and Dracula and Stanhopea and Miltonia and.

When I retired in the late '90s we built the slat house of my dreams. It took very little time for me to fill the structure and get more disciplined in my care for an increasingly diversified collection that approached 1,000 plants. Just as quickly as the slat house filled, I learned that far more issues arise in crowds! Yet, the ongoing battles I waged in Florida against thrips, snails and giant grasshoppers pale in com- parison to the learning curve that awaited me in 2005 when I arrived in Atlanta. Greenhouse con- struction, heating and cooling, ventilation, irriga- tion, misting, fogging all became part of my required reading list.

  • 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.

  • Epilist 1.0: a Global Checklist of Vascular Epiphytes
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2021 EpiList 1.0: a global checklist of vascular epiphytes Zotz, Gerhard ; Weigelt, Patrick ; Kessler, Michael ; Kreft, Holger ; Taylor, Amanda Abstract: Epiphytes make up roughly 10% of all vascular plant species globally and play important functional roles, especially in tropical forests. However, to date, there is no comprehensive list of vas- cular epiphyte species. Here, we present EpiList 1.0, the first global list of vascular epiphytes based on standardized definitions and taxonomy. We include obligate epiphytes, facultative epiphytes, and hemiepiphytes, as the latter share the vulnerable epiphytic stage as juveniles. Based on 978 references, the checklist includes >31,000 species of 79 plant families. Species names were standardized against World Flora Online for seed plants and against the World Ferns database for lycophytes and ferns. In cases of species missing from these databases, we used other databases (mostly World Checklist of Selected Plant Families). For all species, author names and IDs for World Flora Online entries are provided to facilitate the alignment with other plant databases, and to avoid ambiguities. EpiList 1.0 will be a rich source for synthetic studies in ecology, biogeography, and evolutionary biology as it offers, for the first time, a species‐level overview over all currently known vascular epiphytes. At the same time, the list represents work in progress: species descriptions of epiphytic taxa are ongoing and published life form information in floristic inventories and trait and distribution databases is often incomplete and sometimes evenwrong.

This document has been submitted by the Scientific Authority for Flora of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.* 2. The context of this document pertains to PC24 Com. 8 (Rev. by Sec.). The UK Scientific Authority and the United Nations Environment Programme – World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC) were to prepare a checklist for Orchidaceae, presenting Appendix I and Appendix II species separately. a) This was to be undertaken by generating an output for Orchidaceae from the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families. The output includes accepted names, synonyms and country-level distribution information. b) The dataset for Orchidaceae was provided by The World Checklist of Selected Plant Families. The World Checklist of Selected Plant Families has become an international collaborative programme with more than 150 contributors from 22 countries. The main goal of the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families is to provide high quality peer reviewed baseline data on all accepted taxa included in each family. c) To make the review of proposed changes manageable, a comparison was undertaken between the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families output and the current CITES nomenclature standard references for Orchidaceae. 3. The Appendix I Orchid Checklist was adopted at the 18th CITES Conference of the Parties (Switzerland, 2019). This checklist and the proposed checklist were compiled using the same methodology.

Using plastid matK, psaB, rbcL, and trnH-psbA DNA sequences and morphological evidence, the phylogenetic relationships within the tribe Collabieae were assessed as a basis for revising their tribal and generic delimitation. Collabieae (including the previously misplaced mycoheterotrophic Risleya) is supported as monophyletic and nested within a superclade that also includes Epidendreae, Podochileae, Cymbidieae and Vandeae. Risleya is nested in Collabiinae and sister to Chrysoglossum, a relationship which, despite their great vegetative differences, is supported by floral characters. Ania is a distinct genus supported by both morphological and molecular evidence, while redefined Tainia includes Nephelaphyllum and Mischobulbum. Calanthe is paraphyletic and consists four clades; the genera Gastrorchis, Phaius and Cephalantheropsis should be subsumed within Calanthe. Calanthe sect. Ghiesbreghtia is nested within sect. Calanthe,to which the disputed Calanthe delavayi belongs as well.
