Lip anatomy and its implications for the pollination mechanisms of Bulbophyllum species (Orchidaceae)

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The lip structure of six Brazilian and one Asiatic species of Bulbophyllum with wind-assisted fly pollination (B. involutum, B. ipanemense and B. weddellii) and non-wind-assisted fly pollination (B. epiphytum, B. glutinosum, B. regnellii and B. rothschildianum) was studied to investigate the presence of secretory tissues related to these pollination mechanisms. METHODS: The lip study was carried out through scanning electron microscopy (lip surface) and light microscopy (anatomical features). KEY RESULTS: In most of the species studied, the osmophores (odour glands) were located in the lobes and in the upper surface of the lip callus. Differences in the lip structure were observed between the two groups (the presence of a nectary and the extent of osmophore surface), depending on the mechanism of pollination. Nectaries were found in the cavity callus in B. ipanemense, B. involutum and B. weddellii, even though their pollinators were presumably attracted by the instinct to oviposit. CONCLUSIONS: These findings corroborate the hypothesis that, because pollination in these species is dependent on an unpredictable external factor (wind), nectar is necessary to keep the insect in the flower for a long period. Despite the occurrence of a liquid-like nectar in the flowers of B. epiphytum, B. glutinosum, B. regnelli and B. rothschildianum, no anatomical evidence for nectaries was found in the lips of these species, although a similar structure may occur in another region of the flowers. This observation agrees with the fact that pollination by lip movement in the latter species requires only gravity, with no additional mechanism being needed to keep the flies in the flower.

无量山石豆兰, 中国兰科植物一新记录种

报道了中国兰科植物一新记录种,即无量山石豆兰(Bulbophyllum pinicola)。对其进行了特征描述并与相似种Bulbophyllum acutiflorum做了对比,并提供了彩色照片。无量山石豆兰的萼片披针形,先端渐尖,花瓣三角状披针形,先端渐尖,唇瓣稍向外下弯而易与相似种区分。     

Bulbophyllum wuzhishanensis (Orchidaceae), a new species from Hainan, China

Bulbophyllum wuzhishanensis, a new species from Hainan, China, is described and illustrated. The new species is probably related toBulbophyllum ledungense, but differs from it by having a long inflorescence, a column without stelids, and a longer lip.     

中国兰科植物一新记录种及一新异名

报道了中国兰科植物1新记录种,即苏瓣石豆兰(Butbophyllum dayanum Rchb.f.),本种的花序具2～5朵花,萼片和花瓣的边缘被流苏状丝质毛,可与该组的其他种相区别.将Dendrobium menglaensis X.H Jin & H.Li归并为杓唇扁石斛(D.chrysocrepis Parish & Rchb.f.ex Hook.f.)的新异名,该种的花单生于压扁状的茎上,唇瓣勺状,与其近缘种易于区别.
