Gymnadenia dolomitensis is a species of orchid found in the Dolomites mountain range of Italy. [1]
Gymandenia dolomitensis is part of the Gymnadenia miniata species complex and hard to distinguish from Gymnadenia miniata, Gymnadenia bicolor and Gymnadenia hygrophila . [2] Flower color is red with a hint of purple, bottom flowers getting a lighter, pinkish color with age. Flowers are widely opened with the lip bent upwards and the side sepals folded in. [3]
The holotype was found in the Dolomites in Italy which the species is also named for, growing at an altitude of 2460m. There has since been reports of G. dolomitensis from other locations including Germany and Austria but due to the similarity with other species the distribution outside of Italy is unclear. [3] [4]
Gymandenia dolomitensis was described in 1998 by Teppner & Klein. They described it as a new species in the same paper that moved all Nigritella species known by then into Gymnadenia. [3]
A morphological comparison by Lorenz and Perazza argued that the later described G. hygrophila and G. bicolor fall within the morphological variability of G. dolomitensis and should be subsumed into G. miniata var. dolomitensis, with G. dolomitensis itself just a variation of G. miniata. [5]
Dactylorhiza fuchsii, the common spotted orchid, is a species of flowering plant in the orchid family Orchidaceae.
The stamen is the pollen-producing reproductive organ of a flower. Collectively, the stamens form the androecium.
Gymnadenia is a genus of flowering plants in the orchid family (Orchidaceae) containing 22 terrestrial species. The former genus Nigritella is now included in Gymnadenia.
Dactylorhiza lapponica, the Lapland marsh-orchid, is an orchid found in Scandinavia, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Italy and the Czech Republic.
Gymnadenia corneliana is a species of orchid with light-pink petals, found only in the Southwestern Alps in a small region near the France-Italy border. It was first catalogued by Swiss botanist Gustave Beauverd. Some specimens of this orchid display slightly darker petals, although this is uncommon. This flower, like many orchids in its genus, is said to emit a pleasant odor resembling that of vanilla.
Corsia is a little-studied plant genus from the monocotyledon family Corsiaceae. It was first described in 1877 by Italian naturalist Odoardo Beccari and contains 25 species, all of which lack chlorophyll and parasitize fungi for nutrition. All 25 species are distributed through New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago, the Solomon Islands and Queensland, Australia.
A floral formula is a notation for representing the structure of particular types of flowers. Such notations use numbers, letters and various symbols to convey significant information in a compact form. They may represent the floral form of a particular species, or may be generalized to characterize higher taxa, usually giving ranges of numbers of organs. Floral formulae are one of the two ways of describing flower structure developed during the 19th century, the other being floral diagrams. The format of floral formulae differs according to the tastes of particular authors and periods, yet they tend to convey the same information.
The Lilioideae are a subfamily of monocotyledonous perennial, herbaceous mainly bulbous flowering plants in the lily family, Liliaceae. They are found predominantly in the temperate and colder regions of the Northern Hemisphere, particularly East Asia and North America. The subfamily includes two tribes. They are of economic importance, particularly the lilies and tulips.
Gymnadenia rhellicani is a European species of orchid.
Gagea pusilla is a Eurasian plant species in the lily family. It is native to Italy, Greece, the Balkans, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, and Kazakhstan.
Erich Nelson was a German artist, scientific illustrator, and botanist. He became well-known for his precise and aesthetic aquarelles and illustrations of European orchids, which total more than 2,000. His botanical and mycological author citation is: „E.Nelson“.
Gymnadenia austriaca is a species of plant in the family Orchidaceae. It is endemic to the Alps and the Pyrenees, where it grows on calcareous alpine grassland from 1,500–2,500 metres (4,900–8,200 ft). It was first described by Teppner and Klein as a subspecies of Nigratella nigra and was subsequently reclassified as G. austriaca as an apomictic member of the G. nigra group within the genus Gymnadenia.
Nigritella archiducis-joannis is a species of orchid endemic to a few locations in Totes Gebirge, the Dachstein, the Karawanken, the Koralpe – that is the Austrian states Styria, Upper Austria, Salzburg und Carinthia – as well as Triglav National Park.
Gymandenia stiriaca, the Salzkammergut vanilla orchid, is a species of orchid endemic to Austria.
Gymandenia lithopolitanica, the Austrian gymnadenia, is a species of orchid endemic to a portion of the eastern Alps spanning Austria and Slovenia.
Gymandenia bicolor is a species of orchid occurring in the Eastern Alps, the Dinaric Alps and the Carpathian Mountains. It is very similar to Gymnadenia miniata and often seen as a variation and not a separate species.
Gymandenia miniata is a species of orchid native to the Eastern Alps and Carpathian Mountains. It is similar in appearance to Gymnadenia bicolor; both species were split from a former less defined taxon Nigritella rubra which referred to all red flowering Gymnadenia.
Gymandenia hygrophila is a species of orchid occurring in the southeastern Alps in Italy and Austria.
Gymnadenia minor is a species of orchid endemic to Austria.
