Lockhartia lunifera is a species of orchid endemic to Brazil. [1]
The Orchidaceae are a diverse and widespread family of flowering plants, with blooms that are often colourful and fragrant, commonly known as the orchid family.
The taxonomy of the Orchidaceae has evolved slowly during the last 250 years, starting with Carl Linnaeus who in 1753 recognized eight genera. De Jussieu recognized the Orchidaceae as a separate family in his Genera Plantarum in 1789. Olof Swartz recognized 25 genera in 1800. Louis Claude Richard provided us in 1817 with the descriptive terminology of the orchids.. The next step was taken in 1830-1840 by John Lindley, who recognized four subfamilies. He is generally recognized as the father of orchid taxonomy. The next important step was taken by George Bentham with a new classification, recognizing subtribes for the first time. This classification was first presented in a paper that Bentham read to the Royal Society in 1881. Then it was published in 1883 in the final volume of Genera Plantarum. The next great contributors were Pfitzer (1887), Schlechter (1926), Mansfeld (1937), Dressler and Dodson (1960), Garay, Vermeulen (1966), again Dressler (1981). and Burns-Balogh and Funk (1986). Dressler's 1993 book had considerable influence on later work.
The Oncidiinae is a subtribe within the Orchidaceae that consists of a number of genera that are closely related.
Caladenia, commonly known as spider orchids, is a genus of 350 species of plants in the orchid family, Orchidaceae. Spider orchids are terrestrial herbs with a single hairy leaf and a hairy stem. The labellum is fringed or toothed in most species and there are small projections called calli on the labellum. The flowers have adaptations to attract particular species of insects for pollination. The genus is divided into three groups on the basis of flower shape, broadly, spider orchids, zebra orchids and cowslip orchids, although other common names are often used. Although they occur in other countries, most are Australian and 136 species occur in Western Australia, making it the most species-rich orchid genus in that state.
Lockhartia, abbreviated Lhta. in the horticultural trade, is a genus of orchids and the only genus of alliance Lockhartia. There are about 30 species, distributed from Mexico through northern South America, as well as in Trinidad.
Chiloschista, commonly known as starfish orchids or 异型兰属 is a genus of usually leafless, epiphytic or lithophytic orchids found in India, Southeast Asia and Australia.
Lockhartia acuta is a species of orchid native to Costa Rica, Panama, Venezuela, Colombia and Trinidad.
Lockhartia imbricata is a species of orchid found from Trinidad to tropical South America It is an epiphytic species growing in humid forests.
The taxon Fernandezia robusta refers to 2 species of orchid:
Lockhartia micrantha is a species of orchid native to Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia.
Lockhartia dipleura is a species of orchid native to Costa Rica.
Lockhartia oerstedii is a species of orchid native to Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia. The species usually grows in mountain forests.
Lockhartia parthenocomos is a species of orchid native to South America. This species is epiphytic and occurs in montane forests and cloud forests.
Lockhartia longifolia is a species of orchid native to western South America and Venezuela.
Zale intenta is a moth of the family Noctuidae first described by Francis Walker in 1858. It is found in North America from Nova Scotia westward to Wisconsin and Missouri and southward to Georgia. It probably also occurs in northern Florida, but records may apply to Zale lunifera. The southwestern range limit is not known.
Zale lunifera, the bold-based zale or pine barrens zale, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. The species was first described by Jacob Hübner in 1818. It occurs primarily east and south of the Appalachian Mountains, from southern Maine south to Lee County, Mississippi, Mississippi and Florida. It is not known from south-eastern Virginia or South Carolina, but the species may occur in these regions. Lack of suitable habitat in Maryland and Delaware make occurrence in these states unlikely. It also occurs inland to the mountains of Virginia and Lebanon County, Pennsylvania. In south-eastern Georgia it inhabits open, sandy pine-oak forest.
Sigilliclystis lunifera is a moth in the family Geometridae. It is found on New Caledonia.
L. floribunda may refer to:
David Lockhart was an English gardener and botanist, survivor of an 1816 expedition to the River Zaire.
