Epidendrum Sect. Polycladia
''Epidendrum'' sect. ''Polycladia'' Rchb.f. 1861 is a section of the Subgenus Epidendrum subg. Amphiglottium, ''E''. subg. ''Amphiglottium'' Lindl. of the Genus ''Epidendrum'' of the ''Orchidaceae''. This plants in this section differ from the plants in the other sections of ''E''. subg. ''Amphiglottium'' by having truly panicle, paniculate inflorescences: the section Epidendrum sect. Holochila, ''E''. sect. ''Holochila'' is characterized by racemose inflorescences and an undivided labellum (botany), lip, and the section Epidendrum sect. Schistochila, ''E''. sect. ''Schistochila'' is characterized by racemose inflorescences and a lobed lip. Like the other members of ''E''. subg. ''Amphiglottium'', the members of ''Epidendrum'' sect. ''Polycladia'' "possess a long leafy stem with distichous leaves, an absence of any tendency to form pseudobulbs, a Peduncle (botany), peduncle suddenly covered with close sheaths, and a lip wholly uni ...

Epidendrum Compressum
''Epidendrum compressum'' ("compressed upon a tree") is a species of orchid in the genus ''Epidendrum'' from wet montane forests of Trinidad, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. Nomenclatural history Eduard Friedrich Poeppig & Stephan Endlicher published the first description of this orchid in 1836, and called it ''Epidendrum laxum''. However, because this name had already been used by Olof Swartz in 1788 to describe a very different orchid, now known as ''Pleurothallis laxa'', ''Epidendrum laxum'' Poepp. & Endl. (1836) became an Illegitimate name. It was under this illegitimate name that Reichenbach, in 1861, classified ''E. compressum'' into his section ''Polycladia'' of Lindley's subgenus ''Amphiglotium'' of the genus ''Epidendrum''. In 1864, August Grisebach published a description of the species ''Epidendrum compressum'', the binomial now accepted by Kew. Description According to Poeppig, ''E. compressum'' grows epiphytically in Peruvian fore ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hipólito Ruiz López
Hipólito Ruiz López (August 8, 1754 in Belorado, Burgos, Spain – 1816 in Madrid), or Hipólito Ruiz, was a Spanish botanist known for researching the floras of Peru and Chile during an expedition under Carlos III from 1777 to 1788. During the reign of Carlos III, three major botanical expeditions were sent to the New World; Ruiz and José Antonio Pavón Jiménez were the botanists for the first of these expeditions, to Peru and Chile. Background After studying Latin with an uncle who was a priest, at the age of 14 Ruiz López went to Madrid to study logic, physics, chemistry and pharmacology. He also studied botany at the Migas Calientes Botanical Gardens (now the Real Jardín Botánico de Madrid), under the supervision of Casimiro Gómez Ortega (1741–1818) and Antonio Palau Verdera (1734–1793). Ruiz had not yet completed his pharmacology studies when he was named the head botanist of the expedition. The French physician Joseph Dombey was named as his assistant, and th ...

Epidendrum Paniculatum
''Epidendrum paniculatum'' (gloss: paniculate upon a tree) is a species of orchid in the genus '' Epidendrum''. Taxonomy Reichenbach determined that ''E. fastigiatum'' Lindl. 1853, ''E. floribundum'' Kunth 1816, and ''E. paniculatum'' Ruiz & Pav. (1798), including ''E. cuspidatum'' Lindl. (1853), ''E. laevi'' Lindl. (1844), and ''E. longicrure'' Lindl. (1853) were three separate species. Because ''E. fastigiatum'' Lindl. 1853 and ''E. paniculatum'' Ruiz & Pav. (1798) had the lower part of the inflorescences covered in imbricate sheathes, Reichenbach placed them in the section ''Amphiglotium Polycladia''. Because ''E. floribundum'' Kunth 1816 had no imbricate sheaths on the lower part of the inflorescence, Reichenbach placed it in the subsection ''Euepidendrum Planifolia Paniculata''. According to the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families published by Kew, ''E. fastigiatum'' Lindl. 1853 and ''E. floribundum'' Kunth 1816 a ...

Epidendrum Pallidiflorum
''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 ju ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Olof Swartz
Olof Peter Swartz (21 September 1760 – 19 September 1818) was a Swedish botanist and taxonomist. He is best known for his taxonomic work and studies into pteridophytes. Biography Olof Swartz attended the University of Uppsala where he studied under Carl Linnaeus the Younger (1741–1783) and received his doctorate in 1781. He first traveled in 1780 to Lapland in the company of several other botanists. In 1783 he sailed for North America and the West Indies, primarily in the area of Jamaica and Hispaniola, to collect botanical specimens. His botanical collection, of an impressive 6000 specimens, is now held by the Swedish Museum of Natural History, as part of the Regnellian herbarium. By 1786 he left for London to prepare his collection. There he met naturalist Joseph Banks (1743–1820), who was impressed with his knowledge of Botany. He was offered a position with the British East India Company as a travelling physician, but turned it down, and returned to ...
