1145. Nervilia singaporensis Niissalo

Curtis's Botanical Magazine, EarlyView.
Summary We describe and illustrate Nervilia singaporensis Niissalo, a small Southeast Asian terrestrial orchid which has only been collected in Singapore. This is a mostly cleistogamous species, superficially similar to other cleistogamous species in the Nervilia adolphi/punctata species alliance. Most flowers never open but develop immediately to seed

Beyond Deception: What Else Do Flower Wasps (Hymenoptera: Thynnidae: Thynninae) Do in Flowers Worldwide?

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wasps, although less recognised as good pollinators, also feed on nectar and pollinate flowers. Specialised pollination systems, such as orchids that mimic the pheromones of female wasps to attract males, are complex and specific. This interaction occurs with some Thyninnae wasps that also visit flowers to obtain nectar and perform other ...

Unveiling Wasps as Potential Pollinators: Floral Traits and Wasp Sociality Intensify Network Centrality in a Highly Diverse Tropical Ecosystem

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wasps, members of over 90 hymenopteran families, exhibit diverse behaviours, including pollination, predation and parasitism. While wasps are known pollinators in specialised systems, such as the intricate mutualism of fig trees and the deceptive pollination of certain orchids, they have historically been considered ineffective pollinators ...

The Hidden Diptera Diversity in Aristolochia Trap‐Flowers: Revealing the Identity of Pollinators Through Taxonomic Knowledge

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although Diptera is one of the most diverse insect orders with a high potential for pollinating plants, it remains poorly studied and neglected. This is partly due to limited taxonomic efforts in species identification. For instance, despite being primary pollinators of trap flowers, species‐level identification in these systems remains scarce.

Spatial distribution patterns and formation of global spermatophytes

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Summary: The global Spermatophyte Spatial Evolutionary System defines 18 distribution types and six supertypes across three floristic elements, primarily formed between the Eocene and Miocene and shaped by climate, long‐distance dispersal, and tectonic movement, revealing that similar distribution patterns of spermatophytes were driven by comparable ...

Molecular systematics and the evolution of mycoheterotrophy of tribe Neottieae (Orchidaceae, Epidendroideae)

PhytoKeys, 2018
Neottieae comprise about 150–200 species and are distributed mainly in temperate and subtropical zones of the northern hemisphere. Mycoheterotrophy is common in Neottieae.

Pharmacognostical standardisation of an epiphytic orchid, Luisia tenuifolia Blume. [PDF]

Journal of Pharmacy & Pharmacognosy Research, 2022
Context: Pharmacognostical standardization of crude drugs is essential before carrying out its scientific validation as it furnishes the identity and authenticity of the plant. Luisia tenuifolia Blume also known as ‘slender leaved Luisia’, has been found

On the role of mutualisms in plant biogeography: consequences for ecology, evolution, and invasion

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Most plant species world‐wide depend on one or more mutualisms – beneficial associations with other species. Evidence is emerging that these biotic mutualisms shape plant biogeography (i.e. distributions). In particular, the absence of these mutualist partners limits plant establishment (i.e. the mutualist filter).
