April 2011 · South African Journal of Botany

A new orchid, Disa albomagentea, is described from the Hottentots Holland Mountains in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. It is an obligately fire-dependent species closely related to Disa obtusa (sect. Disella), from which it can be easily distinguished by the larger flowers, i.e. galea 7–9mm long versus 4–7mm long, which are patent and bicoloured, i.e. magenta, white and not spotted ...

Notes on the genus Plocoglottis (Orchidaceae) from Bali, Indonesia: lectotypification of two taxa an...

November 2021 · Wulfenia

Plocoglottis Blume is an orchid genus of ca 40 species widely distributed in Asia. None of them has been previously recorded in Karangasem Regency (East Bali). While visiting Lempuyang temple, we came across the population of flowering plants of Plocoglottis plicata (Roxb.) Ormerod. This finding has led to further taxonomic investigations and the decision about the need for the designation of two ... [Show full abstract] lectotypes: P. acuminata Blume and P. plicata. Sulawesi) to New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. This genus is represented in Bali only by P. plicata (Roxb.) Ormerod, while on the neighbouring island Java as many as 5 species (P. gigantea (Hook. f.) J.J. Sm., P. javanica Blume, P. lowii Rchb. f., P. quadrifolia J.J. Sm. and P. plicata (Roxb.) Ormerod) can be found. Bali is subjected to a high level of anthropogenic impact (e.g. loss of habitats due to agricultural and urban expansion of inhabitants and tourists, harvesting). The island is rather small, thus, the pace of environmental destruction is observed to be much faster and its scale is much bigger. The information about orchid flora in Bali is still rather random and insufficient. During trekking around Pura Penataran Agung Lempuyang (Lipińska, Margońska, Dobrzyński), we came across a few flowering plants. The presence of fully developed flowers enabled the identification of these plants as undoubtedly P. plicata. Later floristic research of the preserved materials from various research institutions, literature and information from local researchers let us confirm that this species has never been recorded from this part of Bali. Taxonomic studies (conducted by Margońska) have simultaneously indicated the need for the determination of two lectotypes. Materials and methods Few flowering plants of P. plicata were observed during trekking around Pura Penataran Agung Lempuyang (Lipińska, Margońska, Dobrzyński). The identification has been confirmed by means of standard methods of classical taxonomy, thanks to the presence of relatively numerous, fully developed flowers. Taxonomical and floristic investigations have been conducted based on preserved materials from various research institutions [AAU, AMES,

Two New Records of Orchid Species for the Flora of Iraq: Anacamptis papilionacea (L.) R.M. Bateman,...

November 2017 · ARO-The Scientific Journal of Koya University

The Orchidaceae is one of the most cosmopolitan flowering families; however, the national floristic knowledge for Iraqi territories is restricted by the outdated and incomplete status of Flora of Iraq. We already recently add two new records of orchid species for Iraq, and the study objective was to pursue the dynamics on field studies and thus provides new contribution for the Flora of Iraq. Two ... [Show full abstract] new orchid species were recorded for the first time in Iraq: (i) Anacamptis papilionacea found on Silé waterfall locality (Dostaka mountain, Duhok governorate), and (ii) Dactylorhiza romana found in Hariké locality (Gara mountain, Duhok governorate). Field illustrations, infraspecific identification (A. papilionacea subsp. schirwanica and D. romana subsp. georgica), environment and geographical distribution, conservation status, and a brief discussion about the new records are provided. This study highlights the importance of floristic surveys and their continuity over time as a first step toward the modern floristic knowledge including open databases.

November 2008 · South African Journal of Botany

Pterygodium vermiferum, a new orchid belonging to the subtribe Coryciinae, is described from the coastal region in the southwestern part of the Cape Floristic Region, South Africa. It is most similar to Pterygodium volucris (L.f.) Sw. and differs most obviously in the possession of several remarkable long twisted appendages arising from the rostellum and in having a cucullate rather than tubular ... [Show full abstract] galea. The flowers open very briefly before wilting and setting seed by autonomous self-pollination. The morphological autapomorphies that define the species are interpreted as adaptations for autonomous self-pollination in a clade that is ancestrally pollinated by oil-collecting Rediviva bees. The description of P. vermiferum requires that another pollination independent Pterygodium taxon (P. newdigateae Bolus var. cleistogamum Bolus) also be awarded species status.
