Corymborkis versicolor flowering<\/a>:
\nWas at my farm at Shahapur<\/span> yesterday. Corymborkis<\/i> versicolor<\/i> [syn. Malaxis<\/i> versicolor<\/i> ;\u00a0syn. Malaxis<\/i> rheedii<\/i>] was flowering profusely. Sending a few photographs.<\/p>\n

\n

i guess you planted it?<\/p>\n

\n

Affirmative for this\u00a0but not the Luisia<\/i> sp.<\/p>\n

\n

I just wanted to inform that Corymborkis versicolor<\/i> is a DRASTICALLY INCORRECT name for this plant!!<\/u> I have nothing against the author of such names but, such literature should not be followed for the better health of orchid taxonomy in Maharastra. Even Kew doesnt accept that name. The correct name of the plant should be:
\nMalaxis versicolor<\/b><\/i> (Lindl.) Abeyw., Ceylon J. Sci., Biol. Sci. 2: 247 (1959).<\/span><\/p>\n

Synonyms:
\nMicrostylis versicolor<\/i> Lindl., Gen. Sp. Orchid. Pl.: 21 (1830).
\nSeidenfia versicolor<\/i> (Lindl.) Marg. & Szlach., Polish Bot. J. 46: 56 (2001).
\nCorymborkis versicolor<\/i> (Lindl.) M.R.Almeida, Fl. Maharashtra 5A: 30 (2009).
\nLiparis priochilus<\/i> Lodd., Bot. Cab. 18: t. 1751 (1831).
\nBoth genus are too far from each other in phylogeny, Malaxis<\/i> belongs to tribe Malaxideae<\/i> whereas Corymborkis<\/i> belongs to Tropideae<\/i>. Even these tribes are very far from each other on the phylogenetic tree.
\nComing to morphological differences of the genus:<\/p>\n

Corymborkis<\/i> <\/u>(Lower Epidendroid): Plants without pseudobulbs, Flowers resupinate, Inflorescence\u00a0branched, Column long, Pollinia 2, Pollinia with stipe,
\n<\/span>Malaxis<\/i><\/u> (Higher Epidendroid): Plants without pseudobulbs, Flowers non-resupinate, Inflorescence unbranched, Column short, Pollinia 4, Pollinia without caudicle or viscidium,<\/span>
\nYou may dissect the flower to check for these characters and make out yourself. This is also a mail for others who are working on Orchids especially in Maharastra, PLEASE DO NOT FOLLOW ANY LITERATURE BLINDLY.
\nITS NOT GOOD FOR YOU NEITHER ITS GOOD FOR ORCHID TAXONOMY IN INDIA.
\nPlease find some plates of Malaxis<\/i> and Corymborkis<\/i> from internet to check the differences between two genera.
\nAs for the author, I always respect him for his hard work and patience he had been working and he still goes to field in search for plants. I am a big fan of him myself, but out views dont match on Orchid taxonomy, may be because he is almost double of my age and experience!!<\/p>\n

\n

could you please tell me \u00a0the source ( reference, or URL of these two fiures\/line drawings)<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Thank you … for you detailed explanation. Haven’t got the wherewithal to carry out dissections but will follow you recommendation.<\/p>\n

\n

There is no need to dissect the flower sir. Put one small stick on the column and take out pollinia on your palm. You will find them as irregular shaped structure without any tail (stipe or caudicle). No stipe is character of Malaxis<\/i> and its present in Corymborkis<\/i>.
\nThanks again for understanding my point.<\/p>\n

\n

Sending one photographs of Coryborkis veratifloia<\/i> from Assam.<\/p>\n

\n

Its interesting discussion on Malaxis<\/i>.
\nTo me it look like This plant should go under some other Genus [earlier some other valid genus describe for the plant, other than <\/span>Malaxis<\/i>],
\n<\/span>Malaxis spicata<\/i> is type of Genus <\/span>Malaxis<\/i> is native to North America, and it shows some differences in the flowers.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Matheran orchid identification.<\/a>:
\nAttached are photographs of a orchid taken at Matheran.<\/span><\/div>\n
Location: Matheran (approx. 800m above sea level)
\nDate taken: 10 July 2011
\n<\/span>Is this Malaxis versicolor<\/i>?
\nAny help is highly appreciated.<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Yes, it is M. rheedii<\/i> syn. M. versicolor<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\n

I assume the plains on the hill slopes, with little of grass land is prospective habitat for Orchid sightings. To be specific, the toy train route (down town) and the trail from chowk point or one tree point to Karjat would be a kind of.<\/p>\n

\n

I suppose M. versicolor<\/i> is correct name and not M. rheedii<\/i><\/p>\n

According to Dr. Almeida it is now called Corymborkis versicolor<\/i>. Our previous discussion on this is available at this link<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Ofcourse this can never be <\/span>Corymborkis<\/i> as they are two totally different subtribes.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Thanks\u00a0… for kind reference but when I checked on the plant list there is no reference of Corymborkis versicolor<\/i> but on the same site Malaxis versicolor<\/i> seems to be still holding the accepted name tag.
