A new species of Pleurothallis (Orchidaceae: Pleurothallidinae) from Southwestern Ecuador: Pleurothallis marioi
No full textA new orchid species in Pleurothallis subsection Macrophyllae-Fasciculatae, is described and illustrated. It was discovered in semi-deciduous premontane forest from Southwestern Ecuador. The new species is named herein as Pleurothallis marioi; information about its distribution, habitat, phenology, and conservation status is provided. The new taxon is compared with P. acestrophylla, P. arctata, P. calamifolia, P. lemniscifolia, P. portillae, and P. subtilis, species to which it is morphologically similar.</jats:p
TWO NEW RECORDS AND ONE REDISCOVERY FOR ORCHIDACEAE OF MÉXICO
No full textSe reporta para la flora mexicana la presencia de dos especies de orquídeas, Oncidium poikilostalix y Telipogon helleri, ambas previamente registradas de Centroamérica. La primera se conocía ampliamente con el nombre de Sigmatostalix poikilostalix, mientras que la segunda con el de Stellilabium helleri. También se comunica el redescubrimiento en México de otra orquídea, Plectrophora alata, la cual había sido encontrada en el país hace 75 años y no había vuelto a ser colectada desde entonces, por lo que se suponía extinta. Estas tres plantas fueron recientemente halladas al explorar los bosques húmedos de elevaciones intermedias en la región del volcán Tacaná, en Chiapas. Cada especie se describe e ilustra a partir de especímenes mexicanos y se discuten sus similitudes con taxa relacionados
Documentation of the medicinal knowledge of Prosthechea karwinskii in a Mixtec community in Mexico
No full textAbstractIn Mexico, native orchids are appreciated for their ornamental value and traditional uses and in many indigenous communities they comprise part of a biocultural heritage. The orchid Prosthechea karwinskii (Mart.) J.M.H. Shaw, Orchidaceae, is particularly relevant in this context, although some of its traditional uses have been attributed to a very similar species, P. citrina. A recent study of P. karwinskii reported unknown medicinal and other traditional uses by the Mixtec community in Mexico. Unfortunately, increasing acculturation of indigenous communities has resulted in a loss of the community's traditional knowledge, thus, we herein documented the worldview and practices associated with the medicinal use of P. karwinskii as well as the socioeconomic aspects that characterize the holders of this knowledge. People with this knowledge are mainly indigenous women with little or no schooling, who learned the medicinal practices from family tradition. They use pseudobulbs, leaves, or flowers of the plant to treat coughs (infusions), wounds and burns (poultices), diabetes (tea or chewed), to prevent miscarriages and to assist in childbirth (infusions). These results show a promising future for ethnopharmacological research on P. karwinskii
