| ARTICLES RELATED TO epiphytic | | | |  epiphytic: Encyclopedia II - Epidendrum - CultureAlthough the flowers of most Epidendrum species are rather small and not very showy, these orchids are nevertheless widely cultivated, such as Epidendrum secundum, Epidendrum radicans, Epidendrum ibaguense and Epidendrum cinnabarinum.
Most Epidendrum species require intermediate to warm conditions for culture, although a few of the commonly cultivated species, such as Epidendrum radicans grow cool. In Auckland and other sub-tropical regions of New Zealand, the cool growing plants will flower all year round. While they are normally grown in pots, it is also p ...

Tongariro National Park - Flora.
The Tongariro National Park is a rough and partly unstable environment. To the north and west of the park, a podocarp-broadleaf rain forest near Lake Taupo stretches over an area of 30 square km, and up to an elevation of 1000 m. In this rain forest live Hall's totara (Podocarpus hallii), kahikatea (Podocarpus dacrydioides), kamahi (Weinmannia racemosa), pahautea (Libocedrus bidwillii), and numerous epiphytic ferns, orchids, and fungi. Pahaute ...

| | | | | epiphytic: Encyclopedia II - Tongariro National Park - Activities The main activities are hiking and climbing in summer, and skiing and snowboarding in winter. There is also opportunity for hunting, game fishing, mountain biking, horse riding, rafting and scenic flights.
The most popular track in Tongariro National Park is the Tongariro Crossing. Most of the track is also part of the Tongariro Northern Circuit, a two-to-four-day tour, which is one of New Zealand's nine Great Walks. Side trips to the summits of Mount Tongariro and Mount Ngauruhoe are possible on these tracks. Another route is ...

| | | | | epiphytic: Encyclopedia II - Tongariro National Park - History The mountain summits are of great significance to the local Maori.
To prevent exploitation of the mountains by European immigrants, Te Heuheu Tukino IV (Horonuku), the most significant chief of the Maori Ngati Tuwharetoa iwi (or clan), gifted the heart of the current national park, consisting of the peaks of Mount Tongariro, Mount Ngauruhoe, and parts of Mount Ruapehu, to The Crown on September 23, 1887, on condition that a protected area was established there. This 26,40 square km area was generally considered to be too small to ...

| | | | | | epiphytic: Encyclopedia II - Root - Root growth Early root growth is a function of the apical meristem located near the tip of the root. The meristem cells more or less continuously divide, producing more meristem, root cap cells (these sacrificed to protect the meristem), and undifferentiated root cells. The latter will become the primary tissues of the root, first undergoing elongation, a process that pushes the root tip forward in the growing medium. Gradually these cells differentiate and mature into sp ...

| | | | | epiphytic: Encyclopedia II - Epidendrum - Species There are seven epiphytic species occurring in southern USA, e.g. the Green Fly Orchid (Epidendrum magnoliae) Muhl., and E. acunae, E. amphistomum, E. floridense, E. nocturnum, E. rigidum and E. strobiliferum.
This huge genus contains more than 2,000 names ( about 1,100 accepted names and the rest have become synonyms of other species). More than 1,000 have been split off into new genera such as Barkeria, Dimerandra, Encyclia, Oerstedella, Psichylus and Nanodes. However, it is estimated ...

| | | | | | | epiphytic: Encyclopedia II - Bonnet orchid - Morphology As a group they show a huge range in vegetative form, terrestrial or epiphytic, and can be found as tall cane-like plants a metre or so high, clumped or trailing, pendent or climbing, erect or creeping, tufted and tiny, delicate moss-like species that can grow on the thinnest of twigs. But they have one common denominator : they all have two pollinia.
They have reduced their pseudobulbs and instead, some species have thick succulent leaves.
Their flowers are among the most diverse and unusual, although often very small, and specialise in using tiny insects suc ...

| | | | | epiphytic: Encyclopedia II - Cattleya - Cultivation Cattleya orchids are slow-growing, taking 5-7 years or more to flower from seed. Most produce relatively few, large flowers at maturity. As a result, they have been replaced in the cut flower trade with faster-growing, more floriferous genera, such as hybrid cymbidiums and dendrobiums, among others.
Culture of these plants is relatively straightforward for orchids, and they are considered by many to be the archetypical epiphytic "orchid" in that they require well-drained media, frequent w ...

| | | | | epiphytic: Encyclopedia II - Cattleya - Taxonomy The genus is divided into two groups:
bifoliate Cattleyas, occurring in Mexico and Brazil. Two broad leaves grow from each pseudobulb
monofoliate Cattleyas, occurring in Brazil, Colombia, Panama, Peru and Venezuela. There is only one, narrower and more erect leaf originating from each pseudobulb.
The genus Maelenia Dumort. is synonym of Cattleya.

| | | | | epiphytic: Encyclopedia II - Restrepia - Description These tiny epiphytic and rarely lithophytic orchids lack pseudobulbs. The erect, thick, leathery leaf is elleptic-ovate in shape. The aerial roots seem like fine hairs.
The flowers develop one at a time at the base of the leaf. They are borne on a slender peduncle, originating from the base of the back of the leaf. The long dorsal sepal is erect and ends in a somewhat thicker club-shaped tip. They have fused lateral sepals (synsepals) which may be quite colorful : white, yellow, rose, purple, orange or tan with red, brown or purp ...

| | | | | | epiphytic: Encyclopedia II - Leach orchid - Description A single oblanceolate leaf develops from narrow, leathery outgrowths from a creeping stem.
Most species grow long, dense racemes of small to minute flowers in diverse shades of white. Other colors are rare. These flowers are photosensitive, only opening in the sunlight. Some close completely at night.
The three symmetrically rounded sepals generally form a triangle with a small central structure, made up of the column, small petals and small lip, though slight variation to this theme does occour. ...
