Neotinea Lactea 1
''Neotinea'' is a genus of flowering plants from the orchid family, Orchidaceae. It is native to much of Europe, the Mediterranean region, and the islands of the eastern Atlantic, from the Canaries, Madeira and Ireland east to Iran and Western Siberia. Description The Neotinea species are relatively low-growing and small, perennial herbaceous plants. They form ovoid tubers as outlasting organs, so they belong to the geophytes. Each plant has two tubers, one old (previous year) and one new (this year). The erect stem is often slightly bluish. There are two to four leaves in a basal rosette and one or two more on the stem, these can be spotted or unspotted. The densely flowered inflorescence is cylindrical in outline, sometimes conical. The bracts are formed as membranous bracts. The hermaphrodite flowers are relatively small, they are greenish white, straw-colored, whitish or pink in color, zygomorphic and triad. The bracts, especially the lip, are often mottled darker pink to p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach
Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach (Dresden, 3 January 1823 – Hamburg, 6 May 1889) was a botanist and the foremost Germany, German orchidologist of the 19th century. His father Ludwig Reichenbach, Heinrich Gottlieb Ludwig Reichenbach (author of ''Icones Florae Germanicae et Helveticae'') was also a well-known botanist. Biography He started his study of orchids at the age of 18 and assisted his father in the writing of ''Icones''. He became a Doctor in Botany with his work on the pollen of orchids (see ‘Selected Works’). Soon after his graduation, Reichenbach was appointed to the post of extraordinary professor of botany at the University of Leipzig, Leipzig in 1855. He then became director of the botanical gardens at the University of Hamburg, Hamburg University (1863-1889). At that time, thousands of newly discovered orchids were being sent back to Europe. He was responsible for identifying, describing, classifying. Reichenbach named and recorded many of these new discoveries. ...

List Of Orchidaceae Genera
This is a list of genera in the orchid family (Orchidaceae), originally according tThe Families of Flowering Plants- L. Watson and M. J. Dallwitz. This list is adapted regularly with the changes published in the ''Orchid Research Newsletter'' which is published twice a year by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The most up to date list of accepted genera, natural nothogenera, species and natural nothospecies with their synonyms can be found on the World Checklist of Selected Plants FamilieSearch Pageand Plants of the World Online published by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. This list is reflected on Wikispecies Species:Orchidaceae, Orchidaceae and the new eMonocot websitOrchidaceae Juss. This Taxonomy (biology), taxonomy undergoes constant change, mainly through evidence from DNA study. Orchids were traditionally defined by morphological similarity (structure of their flowers and other parts). However, recent changes to nomenclature have been driven primarily by DNA studies and also by ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Orchis Tridentata X Orchis Ustulata-002
''Orchis'' is a genus in the orchid family (Orchidaceae), occurring mainly in Europe and Northwest Africa, and ranging as far as Tibet, Mongolia, and Xinjiang. The name is from the Ancient Greek ὄρχις ''orchis'', meaning "testicle", from the appearance of the paired subterranean tuberoids.Alberta Native Plant Council Description These terrestrial orchids have root tubers instead of pseudobulbs. They are extremely diverse in appearance. They produce an erect stem. The inflorescence is a cylindrical to globular spike, long, with yellow, red to purple flowers. They start flowering at the base, slowly progressing upwards, except for the Monkey orchid (''Orchis simia''), which flowers in reverse order. The original genus ''Orchis'' used to contain more than 1,300 names. Since it was polyphyletic, it has been divided by Pridgeon et al., into several new genera (see Reference): ''Ponerorchis'', ''Schizodium'', ''Steveniella''. They can be found in tropical Rainforest and se ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Neotinea Ustulata
''Neotinea ustulata'' (synonym (taxonomy), syn. ''Orchis ustulata''), the burnt orchid or burnt-tip orchid, is a European terrestrial orchid native to mountains in central and southern Europe, growing at up to elevation. The plant is considered Endangered in Great Britain and Least Concern internationally based on IUCN Red List criteria. The burnt-tip orchid was voted the County flowers of the United Kingdom, county flower of Wiltshire in 2002 following a poll by the wild flora conservation charity Plantlife. Description ''Neotinea ustulata'' grows from two spherical tubers with thick roots. Old sources believed that the plant could grow underground for 10–15 years before the first stem appears. Plants have leaves with prominent veins, along with a couple of leaves typically around the flower stem, which can reach , though typically less than tall. Flowers are born in a dense cylindrical pattern, with individual plants capable of producing up to 70 flowers. The sepals and pe ...

Neotinea Tridentata
''Neotinea tridentata'', the three-toothed orchid, is a species of orchid found in southern Europe from Spain to Turkey; northwards to the Crimea, Poland and Germany. This orchid favours grassy places, woodland, scrub and maquis. Taxonomy The genus ''Neotinea'' is named after an Italian botanist, Vincenzo Tineo (1791-1856), who was Director of Palermo botanical garden and later the Chancellor of Palermo University. His published works include 'Plantarum rariorum Sicilae' (1817) and 'Catalogus plantarum horti' (1827). The specific epithet ''tridentata'' is Latin for three-toothed, a reference to the three main lobes of the labellum. This species was formerly placed in the genus ''Orchis'' as ''O. tridentata''. ''Orchis'' comes from the Greek for testicle A testicle or testis ( testes) is the gonad in all male bilaterians, including humans, and is Homology (biology), homologous to the ovary in females. Its primary functions are the production of sperm and the secretion of A ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Neotinea Lactea
''Neotinea lactea'', the milky orchid, is a species of orchid found in Europe from France to Turkey and in two North African countries: Algeria and Tunisia. Its flowers are pale to light pink, reflecting its Latin root ''lacteus'' (milky). The species were first described in 1798 by Poiret from Algeria. Description ''Neotinea lactea'' is a robust polycarpic geophyte of 10 to 25 cm high when flowering. The flower stem has a round cross-section with a rosette of 4 to 6 leaves at the base and is slightly ribbed at the top, with several smaller leaves sheathing the stem higher up. The many small flowers form a dense cluster of up to 7 cm long and oval or cylindrical in shape. Habitat ''Neotinea lactea'' prefers a dry calcareous soil with full sun to semi-shaded light. Plants can be found up to 1800 m elevation on calcareous grasslands, abandoned olive orchards, exposed locations in a garrigue Garrigue or garigue ( ), also known as phrygana ( , n. pl.), is a type ...
