Hormidium Pseudopygmaeum
Within the Orchidaceae, ''Hormidium'' was originally a subgenus of the genus ''Epidendrum'', but was later raised to a full genus. It is now considered not to be distinct from the genus ''Prosthechea'', of which it is a synonym. Most of the species of ''Hormidium'' have been transferred to ''Prosthechea'', although others are now classified in ''Encyclia'', ''Epidendrum'', ''Homalopetalum'', and ''Lepanthes''. Taxonomy In 1841, John Lindley used the name ''Hormidium'' for one of the subgenera into which he divided the genus ''Epidendrum''. He described the subgenus as having pseudobulbous stems, sessile flowers and with the lip (labellum) of the flower joined (adnate) to the column. Later, in 1861, Heinrich Reichenbach concluded that the subgenus ''Hormidium'' was superfluous. In 1883, George Bentham and Joseph Hooker raised ''Hormidium'' to a full genus., p. 524f. They distinguished ''Hormidium'' from the other pseudobulbous species of ''Epidendrum'' with at least a partiall ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lindl
John Lindley FRS (5 February 1799 – 1 November 1865) was an English botanist, gardener and orchidologist. Early years Born in 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 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 Banks who offered him employment as an assistant in his herba ...

Prosthechea Fausta
''Prosthechea'' is a genus of flowering plants in the orchid family (Orchidaceae). The name is derived from the Greek word ''prostheke'' (appendix), referring to the appendage on the back of the column. Appendage orchid is a common name for this genus. ''Prosthechea'' is abbreviated ''Psh.'' in the horticultural trade. Morphology The roots of all ''Prosthechea'' species possess a velamen (a thick sponge-like covering) differentiated into epivelamen and endovelamen. Flavonoid crystals were observed in both the roots and leaves. The erect stems form flattened or thickened pseudobulbs. There are 1 to 3 terminal, sessile leaves. The leathery blade is ovate to lanceolate. (''Euchile'' leaves are softer and thinner than other ''Prosthechea'' leaves.) The flowers form an apical, paniculate raceme with a spathe at the base of the inflorescence. There is a great variety in the flowers of this genus. They may be attached to the stem by a peduncle or they may be sessile. They can flower on ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Heinrich Gottlieb Ludwig Reichenbach (8 January 1793 – 17 March 1879) was a German botanist and ornithologist. It was he who first requested Leopold Blaschka to make a set of glass marine invertebrate models for scientific education and museum showcasing, the successful commission giving rise to the creation of the Blaschkas' Glass sea creatures and, subsequently and indirectly, the more famous Glass Flowers. Early life Born in Leipzig and the son of Johann Friedrich Jakob Reichenbach (the author in 1818 of the first Greek-German dictionary) Reichenbach studied medicine and natural science at the University of Leipzig in 1810 and, eight years later in 1818, he the now Professor became an instructor before, in 1820, he was appointed the director of the Dresden natural history museum and a professor at the Surgical-Medical Academy in Dresden, where he remained for many years.
