Epidendrum Sect. Holochila
''Epidendrum'' sect. ''Holochila'' Rchb.f. 1861 is a section of subgenus ''Epidendrum'' subg. ''Amphiglottium'' of the Orchidaceae. It differs from section Epidendrum sect. Polycladia, ''E.'' sect. ''Polycladia'' by bearing inflorescences that are racemes, not panicles. It differs from section Epidendrum sect. Schistochila, ''E.'' sect. ''Schistochila'' by having a labellum (botany), lip with no lobes. Like the other sections of ''E''. subg. ''Amphiglottium'', plants of ''E''. sect. ''Holochila'' exhibit slender stems covered with close imbricating sheaths which do not swell to form pseudobulbs, and terminal inflorescences covered at the base with close imbricating sheaths but without spathes. When he published the section, Rchb.f., Reichenbach included fourteen species. Kew recognizes thirteen of these as separate species. (Page numbers refer to Reichenbach 1861). * ''Epidendrum anceps'' Jacq. 1763 (p. 383 as ''E. galeotti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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.

Oakes Ames (; September 26, 1874 – April 28, 1950) was an American biologist specializing in orchids. His estate is now the Borderland State Park in Massachusetts. He was the son of Governor of Massachusetts, Oliver Ames, and grandson of Congressman Oakes Ames. Life and career Ames was born into a wealthy family from North Easton, Massachusetts, the youngest son of Anna Coffin Ray and Governor Oliver Ames.

He married Blanche Ames (no relation) in 1900, resulting in her married name of Blanche Ames Ames. Ames spent his entire professional career at Harvard.

Epidendrum Ramosum
''Epidendrum ramosum'', the mountain star orchid, is a neotropical species of reed-stemmed '' Epidendrum'' orchid which grows both epiphytically and terrestrially at altitudes near 1 km. Description ''Epidendrum ramosum'' stems do not swell into pseudobulbs, are highly branched, and are covered with close, tubular sheathes, the upper ones bearing longish leaves which are rounded at the apex. The short, scaly, apical peduncle bears a raceme with large, alternate floral bracts which nearly cover the long pedicellate ovaries of the few green-yellow flowers. The sepals are oblong-acute, 5–6 mm long and 2 mm wide; the petals are narrower. The cordate acute lip is adnate to the column to its apex, has no lateral lobes, and bears a callus consisting of two keel-like ridges near the column apex. The four pollinia are white. Homonymy Five varieties of ''E. ramosum'' have been published, three of which are now recognized as separate species: * ''E. r ...

Epidendrum Proligerum
''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 Miserrimum
''Epidendrum miserrimum'' ("the most miserable ''Epidendrum''") is a small sympodial epiphytic orchid native to northern South America, the West Indies and Central America at altitudes as low as 0.7 km and as high as 1.2 km. Description Reichenbach describes ''E. miserrimum'' as poorer than '' E. carinatum''."Pone E. carinatum (L. F. 191) tenuiculum" and again "Caules tenuiculi ramosuli subflexuosi", H. G.

The few flowered racemose inflorescence grows from the apex of the stem, and is covered with imbricating sheathes. The floral bract is longer than the tiny, green flowers.

Epidendrum Longipetalum
''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.

Epidendrum Hemiscleria
''Epidendrum hemiscleria'' is a sympodial epiphytic orchid native to the tropical cloud forest of Ecuador ( Loja in particular) and Peru, at altitudes near 3.3 km. Description ''E. hemiscleria'' stems grow to 1 m long, and sometimes branch in the middle The erect to nodding stems do not swell like pseudobulbs and are covered by imbricating sheathes which bear narrow elliptic leathery alternate leaves, 1 dm long, except near the stem bottom. Like other members of the subgenus ''E.'' subg. ''Amphiglottium'' Lindl. 1841, the peduncle emerges from the apex of the stem, and is covered by tight imbricating sheaths. The inflorescence is a compact raceme of bright orange fleshy flowers, approximately 1 cm across. The three sepals are erect, concave, and similar. Lindley noted that there were two round auricles on the column, not the lip The lips are the visible body part at the mouth of many animals, including humans. Lips are soft, m ...
