Bark water storage capacity influences epiphytic orchid preference for host trees.
PREMISE Of all orchid species described, 70% live on phorophytes. Trees offer a vital space with characteristics that influence the successful establishment and life cycle of orchids.

Within the 2,5-dioxopiperazine-containing natural products generated by “head-to-tail” cyclization of peptides, those derived from tryptophan allow further structural diversification due to the rich chemical reactivity of the indole heterocycle, which ...

The Fertilisation of Orchids [PDF]
WHILE botanising this spring in Portugal, I was struck with the fact that scarcely one of the orchids—species of Ophrys principally—that I had collected for my herbarium, or examined in the field, seemed to be fertilised, for none presented the least indication of having had pollen applied to its stigmatic surface; and I examined flowers in every stage

Floral scent of artificial hybrids between two Schiedea species that share a moth pollinator
Abstract Premise In flowering plants, pollinators' ability to recognize chemical displays of hybrids may erode reproductive barriers. Hybrids may produce novel or altered floral scent blends that are unattractive, or scents similar to either parent that remain attractive and promote backcrossing.

Biosilicification in monocots: Comparative analysis highlights contrasting patterns of deposition
Abstract Premise New insights into biomineral uptake and sequestration are important for understanding how plants grow. Some plants accumulate silica accretions in precise locations in particular cells. Among monocots, controlled biosilicification occurs in several different forms and is restricted to commelinids and orchids. Methods We utilized energy‐
