Two novelties in genus Platystele (Orchidaceae: Pleurothallidinae) from Costa Rica
(2017)
Two new species of Platystele allied to P. oxyglossa complex are described from Costa Rica. Platystele carl-lueriana can be distinguished from P. catiensis and P. oxyglossa by the compact inflorescence that barely exceeds ...
First evidence for multimodal animal seed dispersal in orchids
(2022)
Identifying the mechanisms for seed dispersal and persistence of species is a central aim of ecology. Seed dispersal by animals is an essential form of dissemination in many plant communities, including seeds of over 66% ...
The Lankester Catalogue of Costa Rican Orchidaceae
(2023-12-30)
Abstract. This study presents an updated comprehensive catalogue of the Costa Rican orchid flora. We have documented 1684 species, four subspecies, 14 natural hybrids, and seven forms across 201 genera and two nothogenera, ...
Un nuevo Platystele (Orchidaceae: Pleurothallidinae) de la parte central de Costa Rica
A New Platystele (Orchidaceae: Plaurothallidinae) from Central Costa Rica
(2010)
Se describe e ilustra una nueva especie de Platystele, P. tausensis de Costa Rica. Es similar a P. propinqua pero difiere en las plantas y flores más pequeñas con sépalos más cortos, los pétalos y sépalos ciliados, fimbriados ...
Recent origin and rapid speciation of Neotropical orchids in the world's richest plant biodiversity hotspot
(2017)
The Andean mountains of South America are the most species‐rich biodiversity hotspot worldwide with c. 15% of the world's plant species, in only 1% of the world's land surface. Orchids are a key element of the Andean flora, ...
A new Specklinia (Orchidaceae: Pleurothallidinae) from Costa Rica and Panama
(2013)
A new species of Specklinia from the Cordillera de Talamanca in southern Costa Rica and western Panama is described and illustrated. Specklinia absurda most closely resembles Specklinia fuegi. It differs from that species ...
How many species of Pleurothallidinae are there?
(2019)
Subtribe Pleurothallidinae is possibly the most species-rich of all orchid groups. Nevertheless, they are a young group of plants in terms of scientific learning. The last three decades have been the most active with respect ...
The glandulous Specklinia: morphological convergence versus phylogenetic divergence
(2015-07)
The present paper focuses on the systematics of the Specklinia glandulosa species complex. Traditionally, S. glandulosa has been considered a widely distributed and variable species, ranging from Mexico to the guiana Shield. ...
Floral anatomy and evolution of pollination syndromes in Lepanthes and close relatives
(2019-07)
Pleurothallidinae is the largest Neotropical orchid subtribe encompassing >5100 species that are mainly dipteran-pollinated. Various pollination syndromes, targeting hump-backed flies (Phoridae), fungal gnats (Sciaridae), ...
Phylogenetic comparative methods improve the selection of characters for generic delimitations in a hyperdiverse Neotropical orchid clade
(2019)
Taxonomic delimitations are challenging because of the convergent and variable nature of phenotypic
traits. This is evident in species-rich lineages, where the ancestral and derived states and their gains
and losses are ...
