TSPOCT2015-8:Images of Coelogyne nervosa shared : 7 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (2)

It is my pleasure to share a few images of Coelogyne nervosa (Orchidaceae)
Habit: Epiphytic
Habitat: Moist deciduous and semi-evergreen forests
Sighting: Mullaianagiri, Chikmagalur, Karnataka, 1700 msl. 

Date:17-07-2015


can you tell me what are those yellowish “container” like structures in the left side of the first picture?
I cant make them out as any “bulbous organ”…  or function


Those are old pseudobulbs from which leaves have fallen off. In most of the orchids and in Coelogyne a new shoot comes up from teh side of the previous years pseudobulb and gradually either flowers first (if the inflorescence is coming from the apex of the pseudobulb) or gives out proper leaves first (usually when inflorescence emerged out from the base of the pseudobulb). They are kind of storehouse of food for the plants. One plant (one pseudobuld) will give flowers only once in its life time, after that usually they are of no use except helping in the next generation that emerges out from the base of it to grow. But these pseudobuls with rhizome can be cut off and it can give new shoot if replanted properly.
Now why it is called PSEUDOBULB and NOT BULB.
Its called pseudobulb because it is not a true bulb. A true bulb is a modification of a leaf. This is kind of modified organ formed below leaf, but it is not part of leaf (not petiole) so its called pseudobulb. No one knows whether to call it a leaf or stem or root (definetly not a root).

so now i want to know if you took more pictures of this pesudobulb and its rhizome by any chance?
