Odontoglossum Wallisii
''Odontoglossum'', first named in 1816 by Karl Sigismund Kunth, is a formerly accepted genus of orchids that is now regarded as a synonym of ''Oncidium''. Several hundred species have previously been placed in ''Odontoglossum''. The scientific name of the genus is derived from the Greek words ''odon'' (tooth) and ''glossa'' (tongue), referring to the two tooth-like calluses on the base of the Labellum (botany), lip. Species formerly placed in this genus are cool to cold growing orchids to be found on open spots in the humid cloud forest at higher elevations from Central- and West South America to Guyana, with most species around the northern Andes. The abbreviation for this genus is ''Odm''. in the horticultural trade. Many of the species formerly placed in the genus are in great demand with orchid lovers because of their spectacular and flamboyant flowers. Description Most species formerly placed in the genus are sympodial epiphytes, or rarely terrestrials. The pseudobulbs ar ...

Karl Sigismund Kunth
Carl Sigismund Kunth (18 June 1788 – 22 March 1850) was a German botanist. He was also known as Karl Sigismund Kunth or anglicized as Charles Sigismund Kunth. He was one of the early systematic botanists who focused on studying the plants of the Americas. Kunth's notable contributions include the publication of ''Nova genera et species plantarum quas in peregrinatione ad plagam aequinoctialem orbis novi collegerunt Bonpland et Humboldt''. This work spanned seven volumes and was published between 1815 and 1825. Early life Kunth was born in Leipzig, Saxony, in modern-day Germany. His uncle, Gottlob Johann Christian Kunth, was a politician and educator who tutored both the explorer Alexander von Humboldt and his older brother, the diplomat Wilhelm von Humboldt, as children. Growing up, Kunth's father didn't have enough money for him to continue studying at the Leipzig Rathsschule. His uncle paid for him to move to Berlin, then a part of Prussia, and take a position at the S ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Oncidium Auriculatum
''Oncidium'', abbreviated as Onc. in the horticultural trade, is a genus that, , contains about 340 species of orchids from the subtribe Oncidiinae of the orchid family Orchidaceae. It is distributed across tropical and subtropical America from Mexico, Central America and the West Indies to northern Argentina, with one species (''O. ensatum'') extending into Florida. Common names for plants in this genus include dancing-lady orchid and golden shower orchid. A 2008 molecular phylogenetic study labeled the ''Oncidium'' alliance "grossly polyphyletic." In the same year, the American Orchid Society labeled the genus a "dumping ground".Lindleyana : The scientific journal of the American Orchid Society. December 2008 Pg 20 A consensus announced in April 2013 resulted in major taxonomic changes to ''Oncidium'', ''Gomesa'', ''Odontoglossum'', ''Miltonia'', and others. Much of this debate and subsequent housekeeping was initiated by significant research for the scientific publication ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
