Cattleya Cinnabarina

	Cattleya Cinnabarina ''Cattleya cinnabarina'' is a lithophyte from Brazil, growing at intermediate elevations. The inflorescences emerge from the top of new pseudobulb The pseudobulb is a storage organ found in many epiphytic and terrestrial sympodial orchids. It is derived from a thickening of the part of a stem between leaf nodes and may be composed of just one internode or several, termed heteroblastic and ...s, each carrying a dozen or so bright orange flowers.

	Cássio Van Den Berg Cássio van den Berg (born 1971) is a Brazilian botanist, noted for work in orchid classification and evolution, especially great changes in the generic circumscriptions of ornamental orchids in the genus ''Cattleya'', based on DNA studies for the subtribe Laeliinae. Career Based on DNA studies studies, he proposed a fusion of the genera ''Cattleya and Sophronitis'', and also included in this genus the Brazilian species of ''Laelia''. In Laeliinae, the studies pointed out to the separation of subtribe Ponerinae, and the transfer of ''Dilomilis'' and '' Neocogniauxia'' to Pleurothallidinae. He also worked in the taxonomy of other orchid genera, such as ''Acianthera'', '' Baptistonia'', ''Bulbophyllum'', ''Cymbidium'', ''Encyclia'', ''Galeandra'', ''Isabelia'' and '' Pleione''. In 2004, he described a new genus of Laeliinae, '' Adamantinia'' Van den Berg & C.N.Gonç. Currently he is full professor and curator of the Laboratory of Plant Molecular Systematics. at Universidade Estadua ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
picture info	Lithophyte Lithophytes are plants that grow in or on rocks. They can be classified as either epilithic (or epipetric) or endolithic; epilithic lithophytes grow on the surfaces of rocks, while endolithic lithophytes grow in the crevices of rocks (and are also referred to as chasmophytes). Lithophytes can also be classified as being either obligate or facultative. Obligate lithophytes grow solely on rocks, while facultative lithophytes will grow partially on a rock and on another substrate simultaneously. Nutrients Lithophytes that grow on land feed off nutrients from rain water and nearby decaying plants, including their own dead tissue. It is easier for Chasmophytes to acquire nutrients because they grow in fissures in rocks where soil or organic matter has accumulated. For most Lithophytes, nitrogen is only available through interactions with the atmosphere. The most readily available form of nitrogen in the atmosphere is the gaseous state of ammonia (NH3). Lithophytes consume atmospheric a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Pseudobulb The pseudobulb is a storage organ found in many epiphytic and terrestrial sympodial orchids. It is derived from a thickening of the part of a stem between leaf nodes and may be composed of just one internode or several, termed heteroblastic and homoblastic respectively. All leaves and inflorescences usually arise from this structure. Pseudobulbs formed from a single internode produce the leaves and inflorescence from the top, while those that are formed from several internodes can possess leaves along its length.Hew, C.S., and J.W.H. Yong. 2004The Physiology of Tropical Orchids in Relation to the Industry.Singapore: World Scientific Publishing Co. pp. 13-15. The modified sheath leaves that appear at the base of a pseudobulb and often enfold all or part of it are usually dry and papery, though in some orchids the sheaths bear leaf blades and the leaves at the pseudobulb's apex are reduced to scales.Dressler, R.L. 1993.

picture info	Cattleya ''Cattleya'' () is a genus of orchids from Costa Rica south to Argentina. The genus is abbreviated C in trade journals. Description Epiphytic or terrestrial orchids with cylindrical rhizome from which the fleshy noodle-like roots grow. Pseudobulbs can be conical, spindle-shaped or cylindrical; with upright growth; one or two leaves growing from the top of them. The leaves can be oblong, lanceolate or elliptical, somewhat fleshy, with smooth margin. The inflorescence is a terminal raceme with few or several flowers. Flowers have sepals and petals free from each other; the lip or labellum (lowermost petal), usually has a different coloration and shape from the rest of the flower and covers in part the flower column forming a tube. There are four polliniums (bag-like organs that contain pollen). The fruit is a capsule with many small seeds.Schweinfurth, C., "Orchidaceae, Orchids of Peru", ''Fieldiana, Botany'' 30(3): 535 Taxonomy The genus was named in 1824 by John Lindley af ...
