Bulbophyllum Sect
''Bulbophyllum'' is a genus of mostly epiphytic and lithophytic orchids in the family Orchidaceae. It is the largest genus in the orchid family and one of the largest genera of flowering plants with more than 2,000 species, exceeded in number only by '' Astragalus''. These orchids are found in diverse habitats throughout most of the warmer parts of the world including Africa, southern Asia, Latin America, the West Indies, and various islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Orchids in this genus have thread-like or fibrous roots that creep over the surface of trees or rocks or hang from branches. The stem is divided into a rhizome and a pseudobulb, a feature that distinguished this genus from ''Dendrobium''. There is usually only a single leaf at the top of the pseudobulb and from one to many flowers are arranged along an unbranched flowering stem that arises from the base of the pseudobulb. Several attempts have been made to separate ''Bulbophyllum'' into smaller genera, but m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Achille Eugène Finet
Achille Eugène Finet (1863, Argenteuil – 1913, París) was a French botanist best known for his study of orchids native to Japan and China. Within the family Orchidaceae, he was the binomial authority, taxonomic authority of the genera '' Arethusantha'', ''Hemihabenaria'', ''Monixus'' and ''Malaxis, Pseudoliparis'' as well as of numerous orchid species. With François Gagnepain, he circumscribed a number of plant species from the family Annonaceae. In 1925 Hu Xiansu named the orchid genus ''Neofinetia'' in his honor.

Robert Wight
Robert Wight (6 July 1796 – 26 May 1872) was a Scottish surgeon in the East India Company, whose professional career was spent entirely in southern India, where his greatest achievements were in botany – as an economic botanist and leading taxonomist in south India. He contributed to the introduction of Gossypium barbadense, American cotton. As a taxonomist he described 110 new genera and 1267 new species of flowering plants. He employed Indian botanical artists to illustrate many plants collected by himself and Indian collectors he trained. Some of these illustrations were published by William Jackson Hooker, William Hooker in Britain, but from 1838 he published a series of illustrated works in Madras including the uncoloured, six-volume ''Icones Plantarum Indiae Orientalis'' (1838–53) and two hand-coloured, two-volume works, the ''Illustrations of Indian Botany'' (1838–50) and ''Spicilegium Neilgherrense'' (1845–51). By the time he retired from India in 1853 he had p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Oncophyllum
''Oncophyllum'' is a genus in the orchid family, Orchidaceae, consisting of only two small species endemic to Australia, and previously classified as being in ''Bulbophyllum.'' Description This genus was first described in 2001 by D. L. Jones and M. A. Clements, and "... segregated from ''Bulbophyllum'' based on tiny pseudobulbs with a small internal cavity near the apex, a single tiny bract-like leaf on each pseudobulb, single-flowered inflorescence arising from the base of a pseudobulb and small flowers with a warty ovary." They grow in many habitats ranging from very exposed to relatively sheltered. They are pollinated by insects and are fairly easy to cultivate on a hard slab with reasonably bright light, high humidity and good ventilation, and regular watering all year. Type species: ''Bulbophyllum minutissimum'' F.Muell. The scientific name has been derived from the Neo-Latin word ''onco'', from Greek ''onkos'' (barbed hook); and phyllum ("one having (such) leaves or lea ...

Robert Allen Rolfe
Robert Allen Rolfe (1855, Wilford, Nottinghamshire – 1921, Richmond, London, Richmond, Surrey) was an English botanist specialising in the study of orchids. For a time he worked in the gardens at Welbeck Abbey. He entered Kew in 1879 and became second assistant. He was the first curator of the orchid herbarium at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, founded the magazine ''The Orchid Review'', and published many papers on hybrids of different species of orchids.
