''Epidendrum'' subsect. ''Paniculata'' Rchb.f. 1861 is a subsection of section Epidendrum sect. Planifolia, ''E''. sect. ''Planifolia'' of subgenus Epidendrum subg. Epidendrum, ''E''. subgen. ''Epidendrum'' of the genus ''Epidendrum'' of the Orchidaceae (orchid family). Plants of ''E''. subsect. ''Paniculata'' differ from the other subsections of ''E''. sect. ''Planifolia'' by producing panicle, paniculate inflorescences. In 1861, Rchb.f., Reichenbach recognized eighteen species in this subsection. From this group, Kew recognizes seventeen speciesapps.kew.org/wcsp/ (Page numbers are from Rchb.f., Reichenbach): * ''Epidendrum agathosmicum, E. agathosmicum'' Rchb.f.

Rchb
Heinrich Gottlieb Ludwig Reichenbach (8 January 1793 – 17 March 1879) was a German botanist and ornithologist. It was he who first requested Leopold Blaschka to make a set of glass marine invertebrate models for scientific education and museum showcasing, the successful commission giving rise to the creation of the Blaschkas' Glass sea creatures and, subsequently and indirectly, the more famous Glass Flowers. Early life Born in Leipzig and the son of Johann Friedrich Jakob Reichenbach (the author in 1818 of the first Greek-German dictionary) Reichenbach studied medicine and natural science at the University of Leipzig in 1810 and, eight years later in 1818, he the now Professor became an instructor before, in 1820, he was appointed the director of the Dresden natural history museum and a professor at the Surgical-Medical Academy in Dresden, where he remained for many years.

Hipólito Ruiz López
Hipólito Ruiz López (August 8, 1754 in Belorado, Burgos, Spain – 1816 in Madrid), or Hipólito Ruiz, was a Spanish botanist known for researching the floras of Peru and Chile during an expedition under Carlos III from 1777 to 1788. During the reign of Carlos III, three major botanical expeditions were sent to the New World; Ruiz and José Antonio Pavón Jiménez were the botanists for the first of these expeditions, to Peru and Chile. Background After studying Latin with an uncle who was a priest, at the age of 14 Ruiz López went to Madrid to study logic, physics, chemistry and pharmacology. He also studied botany at the Migas Calientes Botanical Gardens (now the Real Jardín Botánico de Madrid), under the supervision of Casimiro Gómez Ortega (1741–1818) and Antonio Palau Verdera (1734–1793). Ruiz had not yet completed his pharmacology studies when he was named the head botanist of the expedition. The French physician Joseph Dombey was named as his assistant, an ...

Epidendrum Verrucosum
''Epidendrum verrucosum'' is a species of ''Epidendrum'' orchid that was described by Schwartz in 1806. In 1861, Reichenbach placed it in subsection ''Euepidendrum Planifolia Paniculata'' of the genus ''Epidendrum''. Homonymy In 1844, Lindley published a description of a very different orchid, '' Encyclia adenocaula'' ( Lex.) Schltr. (1918), under the name ''Epidendrum verrucosum'', making ''Epidendrum verrucosum'' Lindl. (1844) an illegitimate name ''Nomen illegitimum'' (Latin for illegitimate name) is a technical term, used mainly in botany. It is usually abbreviated as ''nom. illeg.'' Although the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants uses Latin terms for other ki ..., and a synonym for '' Encyclia adenocaula''. References verrucosum {{Laeliinae-stub ...

Epidendrum Subpurum
''Epidendrum'' , abbreviated Epi in the horticultural trade, is a large neotropical genus of the orchid family. With more than 1,500 species, some authors describe it as a mega-genus. The genus name (from Greek ''επί, epi'' and ''δένδρον, dendron'', "upon trees") refers to its epiphytic growth habit. When Carl Linnaeus named this genus in 1763, he included in this genus all the epiphytic orchids known to him. Although few of these orchids are still included in the genus ''Epidendrum'', some species of ''Epidendrum'' are nevertheless not epiphytic. Distribution and ecology They are native to the tropics and subtropical regions of the American continents, from North Carolina to Argentina. Their habitat can be epiphytic, terrestrial (such as '' E. fulgens''), or even lithophytic (growing on bare rock, such as '' E. calanthum'' and '' E. saxatile''). Many are grown in the Andes, at altitudes between 1,000 and 3,000 m. Their habitats include humid jungles, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Epidendrum Pseudepidendrum
''Epidendrum pseudepidendrum'' (the "''False Epidendrum Epidendrum''") is a species of orchid native to Costa Rica and Panama. The upright canes, which can reach 5 ft., bear paniculate inflorescences which can re-bloom for several years.A. Phillips and C. Hill. "Reed-Stem Epidendrums" ''Orchids'', Sep. 1998, the American Orchid Society According to Reichenbach, the strange name is the result of first being named ''Pseudepidendrum spectabile'', before being moved to ''Epidendrum''. The species E. xanthoianthinum Hágsater (1993) was first described as a gold variety of this species, with the name ''E. pseudepidendrum'' var. ''auratum'' Rchb.f. Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach (Dresden, 3 January 1823 – Hamburg, 6 May 1889) was a botanist and the foremost German orchidologist of the 19th century.

Epidendrum Parviflorum
''Epidendrum parviflorum'' is a small-flowered reed-stemmed ''Epidendrum'' orchid found in the montane tropical wet forests of Bolivia (including Cochabamba), Ecuador, and Amazonas, Peru. Description As with other members of the subgenus ''E''. subg. ''Spathium'', the inflorescence of ''E. parviflorum'' erupts from an enlarged spathe at the apex of an un-swollen stem covered by alternate foliaceous sheaths. The linear-lanceolate acuminate leaves grow up to 8 cm long and 1.2 cm wide. The paniculate inflorescence bears numerous 2 cm green flowers. The leathery sepals are 10 mm long and concave toward the dilated acuminate end, where they are 2–3 mm wide. The filiform petals, also dilated toward the end, are 10 mm long and less than 1 mm wide.

Kunth
Carl Sigismund Kunth (18 June 1788 – 22 March 1850), also Karl Sigismund Kunth or anglicized as Charles Sigismund Kunth, was a German botanist. He is known for being one of the first to study and categorise plants from the American continents, publishing ''Nova genera et species plantarum quas in peregrinatione ad plagam aequinoctialem orbis novi collegerunt Bonpland et Humboldt'' (7 vols., Paris, 1815–1825). Born in Leipzig, Kunth became a merchant's clerk in Berlin in 1806. After meeting Alexander von Humboldt, who helped him attend lectures at the University of Berlin, Kunth became interested in botany. Kunth worked as Humboldt's assistant in Paris from 1813 to 1819. He classified plants that had been collected by Humboldt and Aimé Bonpland during their journey through the Americas. When Kunth returned to Berlin in 1820, he became Professor of Botany at the University of Berlin, as well as the Vice President of the Berlin botanical garden. In 1829, he was elected me ...

Epidendrum Paniculatum
''Epidendrum paniculatum'' (gloss: paniculate upon a tree) is a species of orchid in the genus '' Epidendrum''. Taxonomy Reichenbach determined that ''E. fastigiatum'' Lindl. 1853, ''E. floribundum'' Kunth 1816, and ''E. paniculatum'' Ruiz & Pav. (1798), including ''E. cuspidatum'' Lindl. (1853), ''E. laevi'' Lindl. (1844), and ''E. longicrure'' Lindl. (1853) were three separate species. Because ''E. fastigiatum'' Lindl. 1853 and ''E. paniculatum'' Ruiz & Pav. (1798) had the lower part of the inflorescences covered in imbricate sheathes, Reichenbach placed them in the section ''Amphiglotium Polycladia''. Because ''E. floribundum'' Kunth 1816 had no imbricate sheaths on the lower part of the inflorescence, Reichenbach placed it in the subsection ''Euepidendrum Planifolia Paniculata''. According to the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families published by Kew, ''E. fastigiatum'' Lindl. 1853 and ''E. floribundum'' Kunth 1816 a ...

Epidendrum Lanipes
''Epidendrum lanipes'' is an epiphytic sympodial orchid with spindle-shaped stems native to the montane tropical rainforest Tropical rainforests are rainforests that occur in areas of tropical rainforest climate in which there is no dry season – all months have an average precipitation of at least 60 mm – and may also be referred to as ''lowland equatori ... of Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru at altitudes ranging from 0.8 to 1.4 km. Description ''E. lanipes'' has been placed in Epidendrum subg. Epidendrum, ''E''. subg. ''Epidendrum'' because of its rather slender, multifoliate, only slightly swollen stems, and because the terminal inflorescence has neither sheath nor spathe at its base. The flat leaves are variable: sword-shaped, tongue-shaped, narrowly elliptical, or oblong-lanceolate; they may or not be noticeably bilobed at the end. The 20 cm long paniculate inflorescence bears relatively widely separated branches, each a densel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
