Pollination of Specklinia by nectar-feeding Drosophila: the first reported case of a deceptive syndrome employing aggregation pheromones in Orchidaceae
(2015)
Background and Aims The first documented observation of pollination in Pleurothallidinae was that of Endre ́s, who noticed that the ‘viscid sepals’ of Specklinia endotrachys were visited by a ‘small fly’. Chase would later ...
Trichocentrum Loyolicum, A New Species in the Genus Trichocentrum S. Str. (Orchidaceae: Oncidiinae)
(2008)
A new species of Trichocentrum (Orchidaceae: Oncidiinae) from southeastern Ecuador, T. loyolicum, is described and illustrated. Trichocentrum loyolicum is compared with T. pulchrum, from which it mainly differs by the ...
Phylogenetics of Stelis and closely related genera (Orchidaceae: Pleurothallidinae)
(2013)
Stelis, one of the largest genera within Pleuro- thallidinae, was recently recircumscribed to include a few hundred more species, most of which had previously been assigned to Pleurothallis. Here, a new phylogenetic anal- ...
Two new species and a new record of Epidendrum (Orchidaceae: Laeliinae) from Costa Rica
(2010-07)
Two new species of Epidendrum are described and illustrated from Costa Rica. Epidendrum fulfordianum is compared with E. chlorocorymbos, from which it can be distinguished by the much larger flowers, the wider petals and ...
A reconsideration of the empusellous species of Specklinia (Orchidaceae: Pleurothallidinae) in Costa Rica
(2012-08-22)
This paper focuses on the systematics of the Specklinia endotrachys species complex in Costa Rica. Traditionally considered a variable species, S. endotrachys is here treated as one of at least four, albeit closely related, ...
Phylogenetic reassessment of Specklinia and its allied genera in the pleurothallidinae (Orchidaceae)
(2016)
The phylogenetic relationships within Specklinia (Pleurothallidinae; Orchidaceae) and related genera are re-evaluated using Bayesian analyses of nrITS and chloroplast matK sequence data of a wide sampling of species. ...
Crossoglossa sotoana (Orchidaceae: Malaxideae), a new species honoring the late Mexican botanist, Miguel Ángel Soto Arenas
(2010)
Crossoglossa sotoana, a new species from Costa Rica, is described and illustrated. It is compared with Ecuadorian C. barfodii, from which it differs by the strongly undulate margins of the leaves, the resupinate flowers, ...
Specklinia dunstervillei, a New Species Long Confused with Specklinia endotrachys (Orchidaceae: Pleurothallidinae)
(2015)
Specklinia dunstervillei is described as a new species in recognition of the distinctness of a Venezuelan species related to and confused with Specklinia endotrachys. It was illustrated for the first time by G. C. K. ...
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, ...
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. ...
