Phalaenopsis Modesta
''Phalaenopsis modesta'' is a species of orchid endemic to Borneo. The specific epithet ''modesta'', from the Latin ''modestus'', means unassuming, moderate or modest. Description This epiphytic species is usually found at the base of the phorophytes. The plants have 1–4 elliptic-obovate, glossy, 23 cm long and 6 cm wide leaves. Fragrant, white flowers with purple transverse barring are produced on pendent, branched or unbranched inflorescences. The labellum lacks trichomes. Flowering occurs from September to November and from May to June.Christenson, Eric A. (2001). Phalaenopsis : a monograph. Portland, Oregon: Timber Press. pp. 145–148. ISBN 1604691719. Ecology ''Phalaenopsis modesta'' occurs at elevations of 50–900 m above sea level. Taxonomy The variety ''Phalaenopsis modesta'' var. ''bella'' Gruss & Röllke is suspected of being a hybrid of ''Phalaenopsis javanica'' and ''Phalaenopsis modesta''. ''Phalaenopsis modesta'' is said to be closely related to ''Ph ...

Nomen Nudum
In taxonomy, a ''nomen nudum'' ('naked name'; plural ''nomina nuda'') is a designation which looks exactly like a scientific name of an organism, and may have originally been intended to be one, but it has not been published with an adequate description. This makes it a "bare" or "naked" name, which cannot be accepted as it stands. A largely equivalent but much less frequently used term is ''nomen tantum'' ("name only"). In zoology According to the rules of zoological nomenclature a ''nomen nudum'' is unavailable; the glossary of the ''International Code of Zoological Nomenclature'' gives this definition: And among the rules of that same Zoological Code: In botany According to the rules of botanical nomenclature a ''nomen nudum'' is not validly published. The glossary of the ''International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants'' gives this definition: The requirements for the diagnosis or description are covered by articles 32, 36, 41, 42, and 44.

Borneo
Borneo (; id, Kalimantan) is the third-largest island in the world and the largest in Asia. At the geographic centre of Maritime Southeast Asia, in relation to major Indonesian islands, it is located north of Java, west of Sulawesi, and east of Sumatra. The island is politically divided among three countries: Malaysia and Brunei in the north, and Indonesia to the south. Approximately 73% of the island is Indonesian territory. In the north, the East Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak make up about 26% of the island. The population in Borneo is 23,053,723 (2020 national censuses). Additionally, the Malaysian federal territory of Labuan is situated on a small island just off the coast of Borneo. The sovereign state of Brunei, located on the north coast, comprises about 1% of Borneo's land area. A little more than half of the island is in the Northern Hemisphere, including Brunei and the Malaysian portion, while the Indonesian portion spans the Northern and Southern hemisph ...

Phorophyte
In botany phorophytes are plants, on which epiphyte An epiphyte is an organism that grows on the surface of a plant and derives its moisture and nutrients from the air, rain, water (in marine environments) or from debris accumulating around it. The plants on which epiphytes grow are called phoroph ...s grow. The term is composed of ''phoro'', meaning bearer or carrier and ''phyte'', meaning plant. Commensalistic interactions The epiphytes benefit from the habitats provided, but the phorophyte is unaffected. In other words, the obligate epiphytes utilize phorophytes as habitats, without parasitizing them.Sáyago, R., Lopezaraiza-Mikel, M., Quesada, M., Álvarez-Añorve, M. Y., Cascante-Marín, A., & Bastida, J. M. (2013). Evaluating factors that predict the structure of a commensalistic epiphyte–phorophyte network.

Phalaenopsis Javanica
''Phalaenopsis javanica'' is a species of orchid native to Java and Sumatra. The specific epithet ''javanica'' refers to the Indonesian island Java. Description These epiphytic plants have numerous, shiny, waxy elliptic-obovate, distichously arranged leaves up to 22 cm in length and 10 cm in width. Suberect racemes or panicles up to 25 cm long arise from the leaf axils. They produce 3 cm wide flowers with striped colouration on petals and sepals. The flowers with a cream white to yellowish ground colour are fleshy and do not open widely. Fleshy trichomes arise from the apex of the labellum. In hybridisation, the colour pattern is inherited at the diploid level. Despite the colouration, it has not been widely used in hybridisation, as the flowers are strongly cupped and have other underireable traits, which are expressed in offspring. Despite these drawbacks, 120 hybrids have been registered with the International Orchid Register of the Royal Horticultural Society. The colourat ...

Phalaenopsis Violacea
''Phalaenopsis violacea'' is a species of orchid endemism, endemic to the Andaman Islands, the Nicobar Islands and northwestern Sumatra. Description ''Phalaenopsis violacea'' is a species of orchid belonging to the genus ''Phalaenopsis''.The plant has a compact habit, with medium size, wide green leaves. The individual flower of this plant is small (3.5 cm wide), fragrant and mostly violet. Some varieties of this plant have some green colour on the tepal edges. The plant was discovered in 1859 by Johannes Teijsmann, who sent it to the botanic garden at Leiden, Netherlands, Hortus Botanicus Leiden. It was then flowered by H. Witte. In that same year the banker Jan Abraham Willink W.Z.N. a dedicated amateur of orchids in Amsterdam,Doubtless it was the same "Mr. Willink" who imported from Java the variegated ''Coleus blumei'', (now known as ''Plectranthus scutellarioides''), according to ''The Florist, Fruitist, and Garden Miscellany'' vol. 5 (1855), September, p 285; J.

Phalaenopsis
''Phalaenopsis'' (), also known as moth orchids, is a genus of about seventy species of plants in the family Orchidaceae. Orchids in this genus are monopodial epiphytes or lithophytes with long, coarse roots, short, leafy stems and long-lasting, flat flowers arranged in a flowering stem that often branches near the end. Orchids in this genus are native to India, Taiwan, China, Southeast Asia, New Guinea and Australia with the majority in Indonesia and the Philippines. Description Orchids in the genus ''Phalaenopsis'' are monopodial epiphytic, sometimes lithophytic herbs with long, coarse roots with pneumatodes and short leafy stems hidden by overlapping leaf bases. The leaves are usually arranged in two rows, relatively large and leathery, oblong to elliptic and sometimes succulent. A few to many, small to large, long-lasting, flat, often fragrant flowers are arranged on erect to hanging racemes or panicles. The sepals and petals are free from and spread widely apart from each ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Orchids Of Borneo
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. Along with the Asteraceae, they are one of the two largest families of flowering plants. The Orchidaceae have about 28,000 currently accepted species, distributed in about 763 genera. (See ''External links'' below). The determination of which family is larger is still under debate, because verified data on the members of such enormous families are continually in flux. Regardless, the number of orchid species is nearly equal to the number of bony fishes, more than twice the number of bird species, and about four times the number of mammal species. The 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 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
