Presenting\u00a0few images of Dendrobium nodosum<\/i> (Orchidaceae<\/i>) <\/span><\/p>\n

A few days ago I had erroneously uploaded as Dendrobium macraei<\/i>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Ok, yes this is the same. Thanks for sharing.<\/p>\n

\n

For Flickingerias<\/i> please spread the labellum and take one pic if possible and also a good shot of the bulb.<\/p>\n

\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Kindly resolve the nomenclature of this orchid.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1.The Digital Flora of Karnataka lists this as Ephemerantha macraei <\/i>and also gives an alternate name Flickingeria fimbriata<\/i> quoting the Plant List.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ref: http:\/\/florakarnataka.ces.iisc.ac.in\/hjcb2\/herbsheet.php?id=3121&cat=1<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

2. The Plant List says that Flickingeria fimbriata<\/i> is a synonym of Dendrobium plicatile<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Ref: http:\/\/www.theplantlist.org\/tpl1.1\/record\/kew-84517<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

3. The Plant List \u00a0again says that Ephemerantha macraei <\/i>is a synonym of Dendrobium macraei<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.theplantlist.org\/tpl1.1\/record\/kew-84517<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Habit: Herb<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Habitat: Wild, epiphytic, Semi-evergreen forest fringe, occuring on trees by the road.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sighting: Hassan, Karnataka, about 1100 msl<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Date: 24-06-2016 and 25-06-2016<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n
I think both (Ephemerantha macraei <\/i>and Flickingeria fimbriata<\/i>) are different as per WCSP (underlying records):
\nhttp:\/\/apps.kew.org\/wcsp\/synonomy.do?name_id=58304<\/span><\/a>
\nhttp:\/\/apps.kew.org\/wcsp\/synonomy.do?name_id=58729<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n

Ephemerantha macraei<\/i> is now Dendrobium macraei<\/i><\/b> Lindl…………….
\nFlickingeria fimbriata<\/i> is a different species and it is now Dendrobium plicatile<\/b><\/i> Lindl.<\/p>\n

\n

Thanks … for the clarification.<\/p>\n

\n

In that case the identity of the specimen uploaded should be Dendrobium macraei<\/i>…!<\/p>\n

\n

I think I have erred here. The images that I have uploaded are that of Dendrobium nodosum<\/i>. I shall upload the images separately for validation.<\/p>\n

\n

Obviously there are mistakes on Digital flora of Karnataka. Its strange that they put an image of macraei which has green bulbs, I have never seen such dark green bulbs so far.<\/p>\n

1. Dendrobium macraei<\/i> (= Flickingeria macraei<\/i>; Ephemerantha macraei<\/i>)<\/div>\n
2. Dendrobium plicatile<\/i>\u00a0(= Flickingeria fimbriata<\/i>)<\/div>\n
The flower in this thread looks like a bit different to me, and frankly I thought this could be Dendrobium nodosum<\/b><\/i> (= Flickingeria nodosa<\/i>) which is surely found in Karnataka.<\/div>\n
I cant see properly but I see two lamellae on the lip raised up right in front then gowing down towards back. In macraei the callus rises gentily and reaches peak somewhere int he middle, then goes down.<\/div>\n
\n

Thanks a lot for sharing.<\/p>\n
