Anther cup hemispheric, 2–2.2 mm across, with a broad, truncate beak at the front and with prominent boss at the apex. Pollinia 2, lens-shaped, dull yellow, with a small amorphous viscidium. Fruits unknown. Ecology and phenology:—Perennial epiphytic and lithophytic creeping herb. Primary and secondary broad-leaved evergreen forests on limestone. Occasional. Flowers in August–September. Distribution:— Vietnam, provinces Dien Bien (Tuan Giao District), and Son La (Thuan Chau District). Conservation status:—Two species populations were discovered in NW Vietnam, in a small area along the border of Son La (Thuan Chau District) and Dien Bien provinces (Tuan Giao District), a total area of about 2700 km ². Taking into consideration the vast deforestation in this area and the occurrence of both discovered populations in highly disturbed remnants of primary forest, the case meets the following conditions of IUCN Red List criteria (2022): the extent of occurrence (EOO) less than 5000 km 2, the area of occupancy (AOO) less than 500 km 2, only two existing, severely fragmented populations, the continuing decline observed, estimated, inferred and projected in the extent of occurrence, the area of occupancy, the quality of habitat; and the number of mature individuals. Following these criteria, the status of the species may be preliminarily estimated as Endangered, EN (B1a,b(i-iii,v), B2a,b(i-iii,v). Notes:—New species belongs to the Coelogyne sect. Fuliginosae Pfitzer & Kraenzlin in Engler (1907: 33) and may be close to C. fimbriata Lindley (1825: tab. 868) in plant habit and flower lip shape. However, the new species differs from all species of the section in the presence of five distinct high keels on the medial lip lobe. In comparison, all other species of the section bear 2 keels on the lip median lobe (Pelser et al. 2000, Clayton 2002), rarely with 1–2 short, additional, highly reduced lamellae on the sides of well-developed keels (Seidenfaden 1975).

(2018: 65), Ormerod et al. (2021: 74). (Fig. 2) ≡ Pholidota suaveolens Lindley (1856: 372). Type:— INDIA. 19 May 1856, cult. Bishop of Winchester s.n. (lectotype K000079285, designated here). Ecology and phenology:—Epiphyte on tall mossy trees, commonly along streams. Primary and secondary evergreen broad-leaved forests on sandstone at an elevation of 500–700 m a.s.l. (and probably higher). Very rare. Flowers in April–June. Distribution:— Vietnam, Dien Bien Province (Muong Nhe District). NE India, Myanmar, SW China (Yunnan), Thailand, Laos. Conservation status:—The conservation status of this species in all area of its distribution up to now has not been evaluated (NE). In Vietnam, only one locality has been documented despite special regional fieldwork. Taking into consideration the almost total deforestation in this area and following the formal Red List IUCN (2022) criteria, the species meets in Vietnam the following conditions: A2a,c; B1a,b(i-iii,v)+2a,b(i-iii,v); C1+2(i,ii); D1; observed population reduction for 10 years or 3 generation ≥ 80% are not reversible (A2), based on direct observation (a) and observed decline of the area of occupancy, extent of occurrence and habitat quality (c); the area of occurrence <100 km ² (B1) and the area of occupancy <10 km ² (B2), with 1 known population (a) and continuing observed decline of extent of occurrence (bi); the area of occupancy (bii); area, quality of habitat (biii); the number of mature individuals (bv); the number of mature individuals <250, observed, estimated or projected continuing decline in 25% in 3 years or 1 generation (C1) and observed, estimated, projected or inferred continuing decline when the number of mature individuals in each subpopulation (C2(i)) ≤ 50 and % of mature individuals in one subpopulation = 90–100% (C2(ii)); the number of mature individuals <50 (D), which identifies the species as nationally Critically Endangered (CR). Notes:—Field observations identify this species as a very rare plant known only from extreme NW Vietnam in a small area close to the Vietnam –Laotian border. Habit and floral morphology fit well with a detailed description of Laos plants published earlier (Kumar et al. 2018). However, the flowers of Vietnamese plants are somewhat smaller (fig. 2).

Rice (2019: 173). Ecology and phenology:—Epiphyte on tall mossy trees. Primary and secondary evergreen broad-leaved, mixeg, and coniferous forests on any kind of parental rocks at an elevation of 1000–2200 m a.s.l. Common and locally abundant. Flowers in October–December. Distribution:— VIETNAM, provinces Cao Bang, Hoa Binh, Lai Chau, Lao Cai, Nghe An, and Son La. Bhutan, Nepal, NE India, Myanmar, SW China, Laos. Conservation status:—According to data from available collections and our field observations, this species is still common in many locations in Vietnam. However, its populations exhibit a clear tendency to decrease due to deforestation and the destruction of habitats in most areas of the country. Due to currently available data, the conservation status of this species in Vietnam may be estimated as nationally Near Threatened (NT). Notes:—Gunnar Seidenfaden, under species description, indicated as a type the specimen “ Pantling No. 26 ” housed at K (Seidenfaden 1976, 1986). Meanwhile, four available herbarium specimens marked as “ Pantling No. 26 ” have a bit different label data listed here in chronological order of collecting date as follows: “ Sikkim Himalaya, Otochilus porrecta Lindl. Common. Sikkim, 6000 ft., Oct.-Dec. 1892, R. Pantling 26 ” (HUH 00287633 and P00403233); “ Sikkim Himalaya, Otochilus porrecta Lindl. Common. Sikkim, 6000 ft., Oct.- Jan. 1892, R. Pantling 26 ” (LE01170187 https://en.herbariumle.ru/?t=occ&id=162386); “ Sikkim Himalaya, Otochilus porrecta Lindl., 6000 ft., Oct.-Dec., 1893 R. Pantling 26 (K000387921). Most likely, the date discrepancy was due to a manual writing error, and all herbarium specimens represent a single collection, as was indicated later in the assessment of Sikkimese orchids (King & Pantling 1898). Considering the indication by G. Seidenfaden (1986) of the specimen housed at K as a type, we accept it as a lectotype, and other specimens “ Pantling No 26 ” are treated here as isolectotypes. Studied specimens:— VIETNAM, numerous studied specimens of this species from Vietnam are available in the Herbarium LE database and are accessible by following the link: https://en.herbariumle.ru/?t=occ&s= Otochilus %20lancilabius&f=%5Ball%5D.Published as part of Averyanov, Leonid V., Nguyen, Van Canh, Truong, Ba Vuong, Nguyen, Khang Sinh, Nguyen, Cuong Huu, Maisak, Tatiana V., Doan, Nga Thi, Nguyen, Tuan Hoang, Pham, Van The, Dat, Pham Thi Thanh, Thai, Tran Huy, Nguyen, Van Khuong & Trinh, Ngoc Bon, 2023, New orchids in the flora of Vietnam VI (Orchidaceae, tribes Arethuseae, Cymbidieae, Diurideae, Epidendreae, Vandeae, and Vanilleae), pp. 87-110 in Phytotaxa 597 (2) on pages 89-93, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.597.2.1, http://zenodo.org/record/792919

    Impact of Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM) to Local Communities and Environment in Hop Tien Commune, Dong Hy

    No full text
    This case-study is designed to support the development of the Viet Nam – Netherlands Water Partnership on Water for Food and Ecosystems. The partnership is between Viet Nam’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) and the Netherlands Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV). IUCN has been asked to coordinate the Partnership development process, including through undertaking study that will identify strategies for the management of water resources that balance agricultural production with the maintenance of the integrity of critical ecosystems that depend on adequate water flows. The case study is being carried out in Hop Tien commune, Dong Hy district, Thai Nguyen province, Vietnam. The purpose of the case study is to identify mechanisms based on that water resources management, which are traditionally approached as single purpose management regimes, should be enhanced to become more integrated, multi-stakeholder based management systems. At the irrigation scheme level, water resources management is considered as irrigation governance and management. The integrated approach is carried out with considerations of various interests such as irrigation, domestic water supply and fishery in Hop Tien commune. On the other hand, issues of saving water, water resources protection should be paid attention in the case study to ensure sustainable water resources development in the area

    De waterkwaliteit van een zuigerput in het IJsselmeer nabij Lelystad in de zomer 1973

    No full text
    In Nederland zijn de laatste 25 jaar vele diepe putten ontstaan t.g.v. zandwinning. In deze stilstaande water met een diepte variërend van 10 tot 40 meter kunnen in de vertikaal grote temperatuurverschillen ontstaan t.g.v. de slechte warmtegeleiding in dit medium. In diepere wateren onstaat er in de voorzomer een warme bovenlaag en daarmee een groter temperatuurverschil, waardoor de stabiliteit van het meer steeds groter wordt naarmate de bovenste lagen worden opgewarmd. Gedurende deze stagnatieperiode wordt geen tot weinig zuurstof e.a. stoffen in de oplossing van bovenaf toegevoegd, wel kan door uitregenen van de bovenste warme laag afgestorven organisch materiaal en andere slibdeeltjes naar de diepte zinken, zodat de chemische kwaliteit van dit diepe water sterk kan gaan afwijken van het oppervlaktewater. Deze verschillen in de chemie met toenemende diepte wordt chemische stratificatie genoemd. Door de Dienst der Zuiderzeewerken is deze zomer een meet- en bemonsteringprogramma uitgevoerd in een diepe zandzuigerput. Uit de meetresultaten blijkt dat aldaar deze zomer minstens twee keer een thermische en chemische stratificatie is opgetreden. Deze zijn onstaan na een koele periode die gevolgd werd door een warmweerperiode. Met enige voorzichtigheid is te stellen dat op het IJsselmeer geen permanente stratificatie zal optreden bij putten niet dieper dan 25 à 30 m. Evenwel blijkt uit de resultaten dat tijdelijk op diepten van meer dan 15 à 20 m hydrobiologisch gezien zich ongunstige omstandigheden kunnen voordoen die voor het meeste leven op deze diepten fataal is. Putten tot 15 à 20 m zullen geen kwaliteitsverslechtering van het meerwater veroorzaken, als men tenminste de putbodem zo egaal mogelijk afwerkt en de taluds flauw houdt. Tenslotte kan worden geoncludeerd dat voor het al of niet optreden van thermische en chemische gelaagdheid in diepe putten niet alleen de diepte maatgeven is, doch eveneens de grootte van het gehele meer, de ligging van de put t.o.v. de wind en de morfologie achter meer- en putbodem

    Miguelia shenzhenica (Z.J.Liu & S.C.Chen) Aver., comb. nov. (Fig. 10) ≡ Vanilla shenzhenica Z.J.Liu & S.C.Chen (2007: 301), Chen et al. (2009: 168), Barretto et al. (2011: 97), Zhou et al. (2016: 136). Type: — CHINA. Guangdong: Shenzhen, Longgang, Meishajian, alt. 300 m, on tree trunk and rock along a valley, 22 February 2005, Z. J. Liu 3025 (holotype NOCC). Ecology and phenology:—Creeping succulent herbaceous lithophytic or epiphytic vine. Primary and secondary lowland evergreen broad-leaved forests on shale and granite. Very rare. Flowers in March. Distribution:— VIETNAM, Thua Thien Hue Province (Phu Loc and Nam Dong districts within the territory of Bach Ma National Park), Da Nang City Area (Ba Na Mountain). SE China. Conservation status:—Only two locations of this easily recognizable species have been discovered in Vietnam untill now. They are located in the lowland areas of Bach Ma National Park and Ba Na–Nui Chua Nature Reserve in the central part of the country. Taking into consideration the high recreation pressure and vigorously increasing tourism activity in both areas, the species meets the following formal Red List IUCN (2022) criteria: observed population reduction for 10 years or 3 generation ≥ 80% are not reversible (A2), based on direct observation (a) and observed decline of the area of occupancy, extent of occurrence and habitat quality (c); the area of occurrence <100 km ² (B1) and the area of occupancy <10 km ² (B2), with 1 known population (a) and continuing observed decline of extent of occurrence (bi); the area of occupancy (bii); area, quality of habitat (biii); the number of mature individuals (bv); the number of mature individuals <250, observed, estimated or projected continuing decline in 25% in 3 years or 1 generation (C1) and observed, estimated, projected or inferred continuing decline when the number of mature individuals in each subpopulation (C2(i)) ≤ 50, and % of mature individuals in one subpopulation = 90–100% (C2(ii)); the number of mature individuals <50 (D). These conditions identify the species as nationally Critically Endangered, CR A2a,c; B1a,b(i-iii,v)+2a,b(i-iii,v); C1+2(i,ii); D1. Notes:—This remarkable species is easily recognizable from other species of Miguelia Aver. (2011: 45) by its inflorescence, which regularly bears 4–5 simultaneously opening flowers distinctly larger than in other species of the genus. The plant has some interest in ornamental horticulture.

    Tribe Diurideae Stigmatodactylus sikokianus Maxim. ex Makino (1891: 70 t. 43), Ohwi (1965: 337), Chen et al. (2009: 88), Pedersen, Suksathan (2013: 65), Lin et al. (2016: 118), Zhou et al. (2016: 128). Type: — JAPAN. Tosa, Mt. Yohogura, Sept. 4, 1859, T. Makino (not located). (Fig. 6) Ecology and phenology:—Small lithophytic and terrestrial herb. Primary evergreen broad-leaved forests, commonly on mossy rocks along streams at an elevations of 1000–1500 m a.s.l. Very rare. Flowers in July–August. Distribution:— VIETNAM, Dak Lak Province (Lak, and Krong Bong districts). Thailand, E China, Japan. Conservation status:—In Vietnam, this species is extremely rare. Although numerous particular fieldworks were conducted, only a few plants in one population were found in a vulnerable habitat with miserable occupancy. According to formal Red List IUCN (2022) criteria the species meets in Vietnam with the following conditions: the observed population reduction for 10 years or 3 generations ≥ 80% are not reversible (A2), based on direct observation (a) and observed decline of the area of occupancy, extent of occurrence and habitat quality (b); the area of occurrence <100 km ² (B1) and the area of occupancy <10 km ² (B2), with 1 known population (a) and continuing observed decline of extent of occurrence (bi); the area of occupancy (bii); area, quality of habitat (biii); the number of mature individuals (bv); the number of mature individuals <250, observed, estimated or projected continuing decline in 25% in 3 years or 1 generation (C1) and observed, estimated, projected or inferred continuing decline when the number of mature individuals in each subpopulation (C2(i)) ≤ 50 and % of mature individuals in one subpopulation = 90–100% (C2(ii)); the number of mature individuals <50 (D). Following these conditions, the conservation species status should be evaluated as nationally Critically Endangered (CR), CR A2a,c; B1+ 2a,b(i-iii,v); C1+2(i,ii); D. Notes:—Species of this genus have a relatively broad distribution in the humid forests of tropical and subtropical Asia (Robinson et al. 2016). However, individually, all of them are very rare plants, usually with limited distribution. Our discovery of Stigmatodactylus sikokianus in Vietnam, together with its recent report from northern Thailand (Pedersen & Suksathan 2013), dramatically expands the area of the known species previously known only in Japan and eastern China (including Taiwan). Considering newly discovered locations, the species has the largest area among all other species in the genus.
