Oeceoclades
''Oeceoclades'', collectively known as the monk orchids, is a genus of flowering plants from the orchid family, Orchidaceae. It is related to '' Eulophia'' and like that genus is mostly terrestrial in habit. A few species extend into very arid environments, unusual for an orchid. The genus contains about 40 known species, most of which are narrow endemics to parts of Madagascar with some widespread across much of sub-Saharan Africa and the islands of the Indian Ocean. One species, '' O. maculata'', has become naturalized in Mexico, South America, Central America, the West Indies and Florida. In Florida and several other places, ''O. maculata'' is considered an invasive weed. The only consistent morphological character that does not show intermediate forms in either genus and can thus separate ''Oeceoclades'' from ''Eulophia'' is the presence of two fleshy ridges on the basal part of the labellum (the hypochile). The genus was resurrected by Leslie Andrew Garay and Peter T ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Oeceoclades Maculata
''Oeceoclades maculata'', sometimes known as the monk orchid or African spotted orchid, is a terrestrial orchid species in the genus ''Oeceoclades'' that is native to tropical Africa and now naturalized in South and Central America, the Caribbean, and Florida in North America. It was first described by the English botanist John Lindley as ''Angraecum maculatum'' in 1821 based on a specimen collected from South America. Lindley later revised his original placement and moved the species to the genus ''Oeceoclades'' in 1833. ''Oeceoclades maculata'' was first found naturalized outside of Africa in Brazil in 1829. It was later found throughout the Neotropics and specifically in Puerto Rico in the mid-1960s and in Florida in the early 1970s. It is considered to be one of the most successful invasive orchids.Stern, W.L. 1988. The long-distance dispersal of ''Oeceoclades maculata''. ''American Orchid Society Bulletin'', 57(9): 960-971.

Oeceoclades Beravensis
''Oeceoclades beravensis'' is a terrestrial orchid species in the genus ''Oeceoclades'' that is endemic to the southern and western Madagascar where it grows in the sandy soils of western dry forests and wooded grasslands. This species has cane-like stems and forms dense clumps in the understorey, a feature that makes it unique among the Eulophiinae species found in Madagascar. Like other orchid species in ''Eulophia'' and ''Oeceoclades'' that are adapted to arid climates, ''O. beravensis'' has narrow and coriaceous (leathery and stiff, but flexible) leaves with minute serrations. Because of habitat loss and existing threats to the dry forests and grasslands of Madagascar, ''O. beravensis'' was preliminarily assessed as "Near Threatened" using the International Union for Conservation of Nature guidelines. It was first described by the German botanist Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach in 1881 as ''Eulophia beravensis'' and later moved to the genus ''Lissochilus'' by the Frenc ...

Oeceoclades Atrovirens
''Oeceoclades atrovirens'' is a terrestrial orchid species in the genus ''Oeceoclades''. It was first described by the English botanist John Lindley in 1833 as ''Eulophia atrovirens'' and later transferred to the genus ''Oeceoclades'' in 1976 by Leslie Andrew Garay and Peter Taylor (botanist), Peter Taylor. Lindley based his initial description of the species on a color drawing that Nathaniel Wallich completed in 1828 for the East India Company. No specimens of this plant are known, so this species is only represented by the single illustration. Wallich indicated on the drawing that the species was seen in India, but he did not provide a specific location. The World Checklist of Selected Plant Families lists the distribution of ''O. atrovirens'', with some uncertainty, as possibly being in India or Mauritius.Garay, L.A., and P.
