Schomburgkia Schultzei
''Schomburgkia'' was a genus of plants belonging to the family Orchidaceae. This genus was named for Richard Schomburgk, a German botanist who explored British Guiana during the 19th century. Former species of this genus were either epiphytic or lithophytic in their growth habit. According to the Royal Horticultural Society ''Schom.'' was the official abbreviation for this genus. The genus was named in 1838 by Lindley, with ''Schomburgkia crispa'', a large sized, hot growing plant found in the tropical areas of Venezuela, Suriname, Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador, as the type species. In 1941, ''Schom. crispa'' was moved to the genus ''Laelia'' by L.O.Williams. Its accepted name is now ''Laelia marginata''. The member species of ''Schomburgkia'' have since been moved to different genera: ''Myrmecophila'', ''Laelia'', and ''Pseudolaelia''.

Plantae
Plants are predominantly Photosynthesis, photosynthetic eukaryotes of the Kingdom (biology), kingdom Plantae. Historically, the plant kingdom encompassed all living things that were not animals, and included algae and fungi; however, all current definitions of Plantae exclude the fungi and some algae, as well as the prokaryotes (the archaea and bacteria). By one definition, plants form the clade Viridiplantae (Latin name for "green plants") which is sister of the Glaucophyte, Glaucophyta, and consists of the green algae and Embryophyte, Embryophyta (land plants). The latter includes the flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms, ferns and Fern ally, their allies, hornworts, liverworts, and mosses. Most plants are multicellular organisms. Green plants obtain most of their energy from sunlight via photosynthesis by primary chloroplasts that are derived from endosymbiosis with cyanobacteria. Their chloroplasts contain chlorophylls a and b, which gives them their green colo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Myrmecophila Albopurpurea
''Myrmecophila'' is a genus of plants belonging to the family Orchidaceae. It is native to southern Mexico, Central America, the West Indies and Venezuela. Species in this genus are either epiphytic or lithophytic in their growth habit. Their slightly scented flowers are produced on pole-like growths that extend upwards from 1 to 4 meters high and take up to 4 months to develop. Several of the ''Schomburgkia'' species were transferred into the genus ''Myrmecophila'' by Robert Allen Rolfe in 1917. The name ''Myrmecophila'' is a derivative of the word ''myrmecophile'' and refers to the symbiotic relationship with colonies of ants that are usually found living in the large, hollowed-out, banana-like pseudobulbs. An opening in the base of each pseudobulb serves as an entrance for the ants which harvest nectar from the peduncles and flowers and forage on other plants in the community. The ants associated with ''Myrmecophila tibicinis'' pack many of the pseudobulbs with debris that i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pseudolaelia
''Pseudolaelia'' is a small genus belonging to the orchid family (Orchidaceae), the entire genus endemic to Brazil. The abbreviation used in the horticultural trade is Pdla. Description The flowers of these orchids resemble those of ''Laelia'', but the main difference between these two genera lies in the vegetative part. These orchids occur exclusively in Eastern Brazil, often as epiphytes. Some are lithophytes, forming a thicket on the rocks. Others, as ''Pseudolaelia vellozicola'', are semi-epiphytes and can be found on mat-like communities of ''Vellozia'' bushes on inselbergs (dome-shaped granitic or gneissic rock outcrops) in the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest, requiring an adaptation to the extreme environmental conditions (dryness, isolation) The rhizomes are extended. The pseudobulbs are fusiform, cylindrical to conical, carrying three to eight leaves. These are apical, deciduous, upright, leathery and pointy. The base of the leaves clasps the pseudobulb from the upper t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Laelia
''Laelia'' is a small genus of 25 species in the orchid family (Orchidaceae). ''Laelia'' species are found in areas of subtropical or temperate climate in Central and South America, but mostly in Mexico. ''Laelia'' is abbreviated ''L.'' in the horticultural trade. Description Mostly epiphyte herbs (with a few lithophytes) with laterally compressed pseudobulbs. One to four leathery or fleshy leaves are born near the top of each pseudobulb, and can be broadly ovate to oblong. The inflorescence is a terminal raceme (rarely a panicle). The flowers have 8 pollinia; petals are of a thinner texture than the sepals; sepals and petals are of similar shape, but the sepals being narrower; the lip or labellum is free from the arched flower column. Distribution Species of ''Laelia'' can be found from western Mexico south to Bolivia, from sea level to mountain forests.
