2. Calypso Bulbosa (L.) Oakes
   Like several other orchids in Wisconsin, it has a deceptive pollination system. Return to the main LIST of the orchids of Wisconsin.  
   http://www.botany.wisc.edu/Orchids/Calypso.html
   
   Extractions: This monotypic genus is palearctic in distribution, and extends south to Arizona in the mountains of the western United States. The genus Calypso is named for the beautiful nymph in Homer's Odyssey who waylaid Ulysses on his return to Ithaca. The specific epithet bulbosa is the Latin meaning "bulbed," in reference to the small pseudobulb of this species. Photos courtesy of Emmet Judziewicz DESCRIPTION: Plant arising from a bulbous corm. Leaf ovate, solitary, basal, 2-6 cm long and 2-4.5 cm wide. The leaf arises in late summer and persists through winter, withering after the plant flowers. Flower solitary, pendent, terminating an 6-21 cm tall stem. Sepals lanceolate to lance-linear, 1-2 cm long and 2.5-5 mm wide, purplish-pink to purplish-white, rarely white. Petals similar to sepals, sepals and petals spreading above the labellum. Labellum saccate, oblong (often described as "slipper-shaped"), 1.5-2.5 cm long and 6-11 mm wide, with two small projections at the apex and an "apron" of tissue extending from the opening. Labellum whitish-pink, liberally streaked with madder purple, spotted with the same near the opening. The "apron" has a brush of yellow hairs near the opening to the labellum, and the projections of the labellum are often yellowish as well. The column is petaloid and overhangs the opening to the labellum.

4. Arethusa Bulbosa L.
   and images.  
   http://www.botany.wisc.edu/Orchids/Arethusa.html
   
   Extractions: This monotypic genus is named after a beautiful Greek nymph, rather appropriate given the beauty of the flower. The specific epithet bulbosa is the Latin meaning "bulbed," in reference to the small pseudobulb of this species. Arethusa bulbosa is closely related to Eleorchis japonica of Japan; historically E. japonica had been treated as Arethusa japonica DESCRIPTION: Plant arising from a small, round corm rather loosely attached to the substrate in which is growing (typically Sphagnum ). One leaf , grass-like, 4-20 cm long and 3-12 mm wide, reduced or absent at flowering time, developing more fully later in the season. Flower typically one (rarely two) located at the terminus of a stalk ranging from 10-40 cm long, subtended by a bract 2-4 mm long and about 2 mm wide. Sepals oblanceolate, 2-4 cm long and 4-9 mm wide, bright magenta to pinkish white, rarely white; forming an erect hood or backing to the rest of the flower. Petals oblanceolate, 2-3 cm long and 3-8 mm wide, closely appressed to the column, colored as sepals. Labellum obovate, 20-25 mm long and 12-15 mm wide, whitish pink to white in the center with a suffusion of yellow and spotted with deep magenta, margin pink; center of the labellum bearing numerous yellowish hairs.

Right now you're at the front page of this site, which can be accessed through lists of the taxa or through keys . Choose your favorite method and click away! To the best of my knowledge, this is (and was) the first complete flora on the Web, and the first to use interactive hyper-keys. I feel that the HTML language has tremendous potential for interactive determination of plant specimens, and Orchids of Wisconsin is the first incarnation of that idea. PLEASE here Species accounts include photos, typical taxonomic descriptive information, a description of similar species to aid in identification, habitat information, blooming dates, a section on pollination biology (if information is available), herbarium records, and a range map. Information was compiled from published literature (see References), detailed examinations of specimens in the University of Wisconsin-Madison herbarium, and my personal experience and observation of the species in the wild, both in Wisconsin and elsewhere.

    Extractions: (TERMINOLOGY RELATED TO ORCHIDS) T his is a short list of botanical terms primarily encountered when relating to orchids. I have attemped to define the terms in "plain English" but some of the definitions are still sometimes rather cryptic in that they use "other" terms that may not be familiar to you. Although I have hypertexed (linked) some words in the definitions to assist you, I limited the use of hyperlinks to avoid sending you "bouncing from word to word to word" like some other online glossaries. If so, please let me know Linda, The Orchid Lady A ACAULESCENT Having no visible stem, or a very short one ACAULIS Having no stem ACCRETE Grown together ACICULAR Needlelike spine; pointed; bristle ACINACIFORM Scimitar-shaped. A "scimitar" is a type of curved sword you see in those 1,001 Arabian Nights type movies. I.E. curved-shaped. ACRANTHOUS Term applies to sympodial type orchids, referring to the annual portions of successive growth of the rhizome , each beginning with scaled-leaves, ending with an inflorescence ACROPETAL Leaves and flowers developing successively (one after the other) on one axis so youngest is at the apex (top).

    http://www.piteraq.dk/orchids/
    
    Extractions: Orchids Orchid books With a hobby like orchids, many people start by purchasing a single orchid and then proceed by reading every book on the subject they can come across. The major problem seems to be locating the books, so I have listed a broad selection of the available books below and included short descriptions of most of them. The links behind title and cover will lead you to amazon.com , where you can safely purchase the books. Clicking on the tiny Union Jacks will take you to amazon.co.uk instead. Orchids As House Plants There's a large section here on growing orchids under artificial lights including home-made set ups and commercially available light stands and wardian cases. The book needs a resource listing as to where to purchase the light stands and recommendations on how to build your own. Half of the book lists generalizations of the different orchid families and how to care for them, but even that is only touched upon. The author goes into detail on the description of the flowers and leaves, but not much info on the care. An example of this is "bright light, warm temperatures, and plenty of water and humidity" to describe the care of Ascocentrum orchids. This doesn't tell us how much is needed which I think is important since "warm" can be anywhere from 50-90 degrees. Home Orchid Growing

19. Nicaragua's Best Guide • January - February - March
    Nicaragua s orchids A Short Lesson in botany. By Pat Werner -. Stanhopea wardii. Stanhopea costaricensis. Sobralia sp. Stanhopea sp. Schomburkia superbiens var.  
    http://www.guideofnicaragua.com/0102/OrchidsEN.html
    
    Extractions: A Short Lesson in Botany Stanhopea wardii t has been said that when God created the world He sculpted orchids with His own hands. And in Nicaragua, best known for its volatile politics, and more traditionally for its lakes and volcanoes, He must have been particularly industrious, as there are about 800 species of orchids found here. More than 600 of these species have been identified and include some of the most beautiful and complicated flowers that exist. For example, the Cattleya Cattleya skinnerii C. skinnerii Maxillaria (42 species), Chondrorhyncha (2 species), Cochleanthes (1 species), Galeottia (1 species), Lycaste (8 species), Xylobium (5 species), (6 species), Stanhopea (8 species), Oncidium (about 15 species that are cloud forest species) and Sobralia (at least 14 known species and probably several unidentified species).

20. Pollination Botany
    the plant side, so I am using the title Pollination botany rather than pseudocopulation by wasps, the fly barroom of the Paphiopedilum orchids, the milkweed  
    http://koning.ecsu.ctstateu.edu/Plant_Biology/pollination.html
    
    Extractions: Pollination is a process involving flowers (the pollen source and stigma receiver) and a pollination vector (an agent carrying pollen to the stigma). The study of pollination is an interdisciplinary field involving botany (the plant side) and some other field (the vector side). In some ways, then, it is an ecological discipline. We are focusing here mostly on the plant side, so I am using the title Pollination Botany rather than Pollination Biology or Pollination Ecology. The gymnosperms used wind as a pollination vector. The pollen grains (endosporic microgametophytes) were carried by wind to the pollination droplets in the micropyles of the naked ovules. Here in angiosperms, the ovules are held inside the folded megasporophyll (the carpel) and so the pollen tube has a greater role. It must grow from the stigma to the micropyle and then penetrate the nucellus (megasporangium) to deliver the sperm cells to the egg and central cell. Wind pollination could work for the gymnosperms because of where they live. If you have ever been to the taiga (a northern coniferous forest) you can understand how it would work. These vast forests are a nearly monoculture of conifers. There are many individuals of the few species found in these forests. Thus casting pollen to the wind can work as there are plenty of "receivers" downwind. Wind pollination can work in angiosperms too, where almost-monocultures occur. An example are the grasslands and savannahs. Here huge stands of a relatively small number of species occur. There is plenty of opportunity for stigmas to be down-wind from anthers. Most grasses are wind-pollinated. The pollen is dry (to avoid clumping and precipitation), the male flowers are produced at the top of the plant (to put pollen into the wind), the filaments are thin and shake in the wind (the better to empty out pollen into the wind), the anthers produce vast numbers of pollen grains (it covers your car! the better to assure a stigma gets one), the female flowers are lower on the plant (to catch falling pollen), the stigmas are huge, feathery, and sticky (the better to catch a pollen grain).
