Epiblema (plant)
''Epiblema grandiflorum'', commonly known as babe-in-a-cradle, is the only species in the flowering plant genus ''Epiblema'' in the orchid family, Orchidaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a colony-forming orchid which grows in peaty swamps near the coast. Its flowers are purple with ribbon-like strands attached to its labellum and a broad, petal-like column. Description ''Epiblema grandiflorum'' is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, sympodial herb with a few inconspicuous, fine roots and an oval-shaped tuber lacking a protective sheath. The tuber produces replacement tubers on the end of short, root-like stolons. There is a single, tubular leaf about long, about wide at the base of the plant. There are between two and eight resupinate flowers on the end of a wiry stem high. The flowers are purple, long and wide, on a short stalk surrounded by a leaf-like bract. The three sepals and two lateral petals are free from, and more or less similar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Taxonomy Of The Orchidaceae
The taxonomy of the Orchidaceae ( orchid family) has evolved slowly during the last 250 years, starting with Carl Linnaeus who in 1753 recognized eight genera.Carolus Linnaeus (Carl von Linné). 1753. ''Species Plantarum'', 1st edition, vol. 2, pages 939-954. Holmiae: Impensis Laurentii Salvii (Lars Salvius). (A facsimile with an introduction by William T. Stearn was published by the Ray Society in 1957). (See ''External links'' below). De Jussieu recognized the Orchidaceae as a separate family in his Genera Plantarum in 1789.Antoine Laurent de Jussieu. 1789. "ORCHIDEAE" pages 64-66.

Thelymitra Campanulata
''Thelymitra campanulata'', commonly called the bell sun orchid or shirt orchid, is a species of orchid in the family Orchidaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a common species with a single narrow leaf and up to fifteen distinctly cup-shaped, prominently striped blue or mauve flowers with crowded, finger-like glands on top of the anther. Description ''Thelymitra campanulata'' is a tuberous, perennial herb with a single leaf long and wide. Between two and fifteen dark blue or mauve, cup-shaped flowers with broad darker blue stripes, wide are borne on a flowering stem tall. The sepals and petals are long and wide. The column is dark blue and divided into three parts with black and yellow tips. The lobe on the top of the anther is short with crowded, finger-like glands. The side lobes have hairbrush-like tufts of white or yellow hairs. The flowers are insect pollinated and open in sunny weather. Flowering occurs in September and October, more pro ...

John Lindley
John Lindley Fellow of the Royal Society, FRS (5 February 1799 – 1 November 1865) was an English botanist, gardener and orchidology, orchidologist. Early years Born in Old Catton, Catton, near Norwich, England, John Lindley was one of four children of George and Mary Lindley. George Lindley was a nurseryman and pomologist and ran a commercial nursery garden. Although he had great horticultural knowledge, the undertaking was not profitable and George lived in a state of indebtedness. As a boy he would assist in the garden and also collected wild flowers he found growing in the Norfolk countryside. Lindley was educated at Norwich School. He would have liked to go to university or to buy a commission in the army but the family could not afford either. He became Belgium, Belgian agent for a London seed merchant in 1815. At this time Lindley became acquainted with the botanist William Jackson Hooker who allowed him to use his botanical library and who introduced him to Sir Joseph ...

Calochilus
''Calochilus'', commonly known as beard orchids, is a genus of about 30 species of plants in the orchid Family (biology), family, Orchidaceae. Beard orchids are Terrestrial plant, terrestrial Herbaceous plant, herbs with a single leaf at the base of the plant, or no leaves. Their most striking feature is a densely hairy labellum (botany), labellum, giving rise to their common name. Beard orchids, unlike some other Australian orchids, do not reproduce using daughter tubers, but Self-pollination, self-pollinate when Pollination#Mechanism, cross-pollination has not occurred. Most species occur in Australia but some are found in New Zealand, New Guinea and New Caledonia. Description Orchids in the genus ''Calochilus'' are terrestrial, Perennial plant, perennial, deciduous, sympodial herbs with a few inconspicuous, fine roots and a pair of egg-shaped tubers lacking a protective fibrous Tunica (biology), sheath. The tubers produce replacement tubers on the end of a short, root-like ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Thelymitra
''Thelymitra'', commonly known as sun orchids, is a genus of more than 100 species of plants in the orchid family, Orchidaceae. Unlike most other orchids, sun orchids lack a highly modified labellum and all three petals are similar in size, shape and colour. The column is, however, highly modified and usually has prominent wings or glands which are helpful in identifying the species. Most sun orchids close their flowers at night, in cloudy or cool weather, giving rise to their common name. The scientific name means "woman's hood" and refers to the hooded column present in most, but not all species. Most species are endemic to Australia although some are found as far from there as the Philippines and Indonesia. The type species, '' Thelymitra longifolia'', the first to be formally described, was collected in New Zealand. Description Orchids in the genus ''Thelymitra'' are terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, sympodial herbs usually with a few inconspicuous, fine roots and a pair of ...

Orchid
Orchids are plants that belong to the family Orchidaceae (), a diverse and widespread group of flowering plants with blooms that are often colourful and fragrant. Orchids are cosmopolitan plants that are found in almost every habitat on Earth except glaciers. The world's richest diversity of orchid genera and species is in the tropics. Orchidaceae is one of the two largest families of flowering plants, the other being the Asteraceae. It contains about 28,000 currently accepted species in 702 genera. The Orchidaceae family encompasses about 6–11% of all species of seed plants. The largest genera are '' Bulbophyllum'' (2,000 species), '' Epidendrum'' (1,500 species), '' Dendrobium'' (1,400 species) and '' Pleurothallis'' (1,000 species). It also includes '' Vanilla'' (the genus of the vanilla plant), the type genus '' Orchis'', and many commonly cultivated plants such as '' Phalaenopsis'' and '' Cattleya''. Moreover, since the introduction of tropical species into cu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
