Hybrid (biology)
In biology, a hybrid is the offspring resulting from combining the qualities of two organisms of different varieties, subspecies, species or genera through sexual reproduction. Generally, it means that each cell has genetic material from two different organisms, whereas an individual where some cells are derived from a different organism is called a chimera. Hybrids are not always intermediates between their parents such as in blending inheritance (a now discredited theory in modern genetics by particulate inheritance), but can show hybrid vigor, sometimes growing larger or taller than either parent. The concept of a hybrid is interpreted differently in animal and plant breeding, where there is interest in the individual parentage. In genetics, attention is focused on the numbers of chromosomes. In taxonomy, a key question is how closely related the parent species are. Species are reproductively isolated by strong barriers to hybridization, which include genetic and morph ...

Nothogenus
In botanical nomenclature, a hybrid may be given a hybrid name, which is a special kind of botanical name, but there is no requirement that a hybrid name should be created for plants that are believed to be of hybrid origin. The ''International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants'' (ICNafp) provides the following options in dealing with a hybrid: * A hybrid may get a name if the author considers it necessary (in practice, authors tend to use this option for naturally occurring hybrids), but it is recommended to use parents' names as they are more informative (art. H.10B.1). * A hybrid may also be indicated by a formula listing the parents. Such a formula uses the multiplication sign "×" to link the parents. ** "It is usually preferable to place the names or epithets in a formula in alphabetical order. The direction of a cross may be indicated by including the sexual symbols (♀: female; ♂: male) in the formula, or by placing the female parent first. If a non-alpha ...

Orchid
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. Orchids are cosmopolitan plants that are found in almost every habitat on Earth except glaciers. The world's richest diversity of orchid genera and species is in the tropics. Orchidaceae is one of the two largest families of flowering plants, the other being the Asteraceae. It contains about 28,000 currently accepted species in 702 genera. The Orchidaceae 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 vanilla plant), the type genus '' Orchis'', and many commonly cultivated plants such as '' Phalaenopsis'' and '' Cattleya''.

Oncidium
''Oncidium'', abbreviated as Onc. in the horticultural trade, is a genus that, , contains about 340 species of orchids from the subtribe Oncidiinae of the orchid family Orchidaceae. It is distributed across tropical and subtropical America from Mexico, Central America and the West Indies to northern Argentina, with one species (''O. ensatum'') extending into Florida. Common names for plants in this genus include dancing-lady orchid and golden shower orchid. A 2008 molecular phylogenetic study labeled the ''Oncidium'' alliance "grossly polyphyletic." In the same year, the American Orchid Society labeled the genus a "dumping ground".Lindleyana : The scientific journal of the American Orchid Society. December 2008 Pg 20 A consensus announced in April 2013 resulted in major taxonomic changes to ''Oncidium'', '' Gomesa'', '' Odontoglossum'', ''Miltonia'', and others. Much of this debate and subsequent housekeeping was initiated by significant research for the scientific publicat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Aspasia (plant)
''Aspasia'', abbreviated as Asp. in the horticultural trade, is a genus of 7 species of orchids occurring from southern Mexico to southern Brazil. The genus is closely related to ''Miltonia'' and ''Brassia''. ''Aspasia'' species have few medium size flowers of exquisite colors which are occasionally cultivated or used to produce artificial hybrids. Distribution ''Aspasia'' exist in four different areas of Central and South America. Some species are exclusively epiphytic on thick stems of the trees a low height, others live on branches where they get more light and a few occasionally appear as lithophytes. Two species inhabit primarily Central America the most common is '' Aspasia epidendroides'', that ranges from Mexico to Colombia from sea level to 1,100 meters of altitude but much more common up to 400 meters; and the other is '' Aspasia principissa'', which exists from Colombia to Costa Rica, from sea level to 600 of altitude but often up to 150 meters. Exclusively from Colomb ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Brassia
''Brassia'' is a genus of orchids classified in the subtribe Oncidiinae. It is native to Mexico, Central America, the West Indies, and northern South America, with one species (''B. caudata'') extending into Florida. The genus was named after William Brass, a British botanist and illustrator, who collected plants in Africa under the supervision of Sir Joseph Banks. Its abbreviation in the horticultural trade is Brs. Description ''Brassia'' species and its popular hybrids are common in cultivation, and are notable for the characteristic long and spreading tepals (in some clones longer than 50 cm), which lend them the common name spider orchid. This epiphytic genus occurs in wet forests from sea level to altitudes under 1500 m, with the Peruvian Andes as its center of diversity. Occurrence is mostly restricted to a certain area, but ''Brassia caudata'' can be found over the whole geographic area. They have large elliptic-oblong pseudobulbs with one or two leaves at t ...

Miltonia
''Miltonia'', abbreviated Milt. in the horticultural trade, is an orchid genus comprising twelve epiphyte species and eight natural hybrids. The miltonias are exclusively inhabitants of Brazil, except for one species whose range extends from Brazil into the northeast of Argentina and the east of Paraguay. The genus of ''Miltonia'' was established by John Lindley in 1837, when he described its type species, ''Miltonia spectabilis''. Formerly many more species were attributed to ''Miltonia'', however, beginning in 1978, the miltonias from Central America and from cooler areas of northwest South America have been moved to other genera, including Miltoniopsis and Oncidium, and these changes are still in the process of being accepted by the horticultural trade. ''Miltonia'' species have large and long lasting flowers, often in multifloral inflorescences. This fact, allied to being species that are easy to grow and to identify, make them a favorite of orchid collectors all over the wor ...

× Miltassia
The multiplication sign (), also known as the times sign or the dimension sign, is a mathematical symbol used to denote the operation of multiplication, which results in a product. The symbol is also used in botany, in botanical hybrid names. The form is properly a four-fold rotationally symmetric saltire. The multiplication sign is similar to a lowercase X (). History The earliest known use of the symbol to indicate multiplication appears in an anonymous appendix to the 1618 edition of John Napier's . This appendix has been attributed to William Oughtred, who used the same symbol in his 1631 algebra text, , stating:Multiplication of species .e. unknownsconnects both proposed magnitudes with the symbol 'in' or : or ordinarily without the symbol if the magnitudes be denoted with one letter. Other works have been identified in which crossed diagonals appear in diagrams involving multiplied numbers, such as Robert Recorde's '' The Ground of Arts'' and Oswald Schreck ...

Aspasia Principissa
''Aspasia principissa'' is a orchid in the genus ''Aspasia'' ranging from Central America to Colombia and Brazil. Description It grows from a pseudobulb. It produces only a few large flowers with coloration of white to pale yellow with pink or lavender streaks. Flowers are wavy and about wide. The fruits are narrow and ribbed. Pollination This species of orchid is pollinated by bees in the genera ''Eulaema ''Eulaema'' is a genus of large-bodied euglossine bees that occur primarily in the Neotropics.

Oncidiinae
The Oncidiinae is a subtribe within the Orchidaceae that consists of a number of genera that are closely related. This subtribe consists of about 70 genera with over 1000 species, with ''Oncidium'' as its largest genus. These genera consist of a single floral type based on the angle of the attachment of the Labellum (botany), lip to the Column (botany), column, reflecting pollinator preferences. This has however led to several unreliable results and polyphyletic taxa within ''Oncidium''. These were transferred to ''Gomesa'' and a new genus ''Nohawilliamsia'', has been described for ''Oncidium orthostates'' Most species have well-developed pseudobulbs and conduplicate leaves. It is possible to form hybrids in some instances between multiple genera within the Oncidiinae. These hybrids are often colloquially referred to as "intergenerics." Genera Genera recognized in Chase et al.'s 2015 classification of Orchidaceae: * ''Aspasia (plant), Aspasia'' * ''Brassia'' * ''Caluera'' * ...
