Epipactis bucegensis—A Separate Autogamous Species within the E. helleborine Alliance [PDF]
Plants, 2023 A new species of Epipactis from Bucegi Natural Park ROSCI0013, Southern Carpathians, Central Romania is described. Three medium-sized populations of Epipactis bucegensis (65–70 individuals in total) were discovered in the south-eastern, subalpine area of

Underground allies: Mycorrhizal flexibility facilitates orchid occurrence in post-mining landscapes. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)Epipactis helleborine associates with largely habitat‐specific fungal communities, with limited overlap between mining and woodland sites, yet maintains comparable genetic diversity across habitats. These results highlight the role of mycorrhizal flexibility in enabling habitat shifts and expanding ecological niches in human‐altered landscapes ...

Spatiotemporal Diversification of Forest Understorey Species Reveals the Existence of Multiple Pleistocene Forest Refugia in Central Europe. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT During Pleistocene cold stages, European temperate forests were not only restricted to refugia in the southern European peninsulas. Rather, there is increasing evidence for the survival of trees also in isolated patches further north, termed ‘northern refugia’.

Epitypification of the name Epipactis purpurata Sm. (Orchidaceae, Neottieae) [PDF]
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2017 The identity of the holotype of Epipactis purpurata Sm. is shown to be demonstrably ambiguous because all its flowers are at the budding stage (pre-anthesis); thus, no crucial diagnostic characters are visible, i.e., gynostemium morphology and ...

Restoration Approaches Regulate Soil Multifunctionality via Microbial Nitrogen and Plant Diversity in Northern Forests. [PDF]
Ecol EvolExplanation of the soil multifunctionality index by biotic factors and abiotic factors. ABSTRACT Long‐term anthropogenic disturbances have damaged forest ecosystems, and different restoration approaches after disturbance play a crucial regulatory role in maintaining and enhancing ecosystem functions. However, existing studies have mostly focused on the

Why does an obligate autogamous orchid produce insect attractants in nectar? – a case study on Epipactis albensis (Orchidaceae) [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2022 Background The flowers of some species of orchids produce nectar as a reward for pollination, the process of transferring pollen from flower to flower. Epipactis albensis is an obligatory autogamous species, does not require the presence of insects for ...

From flower to fruit: The origin of the trilocular ovary and fruit development in Phragmipedium longifolium (Warsz. & Rchb.f.) Rolfe (Orchidaceae: Cypripedioideae). [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)Phragmipedium longifolium has a trilocular ovary with a post‐genital septum, and during fruit development, lignification plays a crucial role in facilitating dehiscence and seed dispersal. Abstract While carpels in Orchidaceae are predominantly unilocular, trilocular carpels can also occur, mainly in branches separated during the early diversification ...
