83. Foster Botanical Garden Well, there are five different botanical gardens located on the island of Oahu It is here seeing the beauty of different orchids from all over the world http://www2.hawaii.edu/~turner/oahu/foster.html

Foster Botanical Garden by Artemio V. Gaoiran Jr. Do you want to visit a museum of tropical plants collected nationally and internationally, or do you want to spend a peaceful and serene picnic with someone special? Well, there are five different botanical gardens located on the island of Oahu. If you are passing by town in the midst the busy city of Honolulu and you are restrained by the traffic, you should visit the Foster Botanical Gardens. You will find yourself an exhilarating change from the chaos of the city. Queen Kalama, who leased a small area of the land to William Hillebrand, once owned this area. He was a young German doctor, a botanist by trade as well as a great physician. Mr. Hillebrand built a home for himself and his wife in the upper terrace area of the garden, which are towers of magnificent trees that were planted by him. Mr. Hillebrand later sold the gardens to Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Foster who added and continued to develop the garden. The most significant sight the gardens presented are numerous different types of tropical plants from all over the world brought to Hawaii. The Gardens main mission is to plan, develop, curate, maintain, and study documented collection of tropical plants in an ascetic setting for the purpose of conservation, botany horticulture, educators and passive recreation. (Gardens Brochure 3) The Garden is a favorite place for weddings and photo taking, so don't forget your camera. As you enter in the gardens, there is gallery and bookstore for your convenience. If you want to purchase souvenirs or different books about the gardens, you will surely find it there. While you proceed towards the entrance, you can hear the birds chirping, feel the warm and gentle trade wind breeze. There is a tour guide to help you on your visit. The Garden hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. daily. The general admission are $5.00 for 13 years and older, $3.00 for residents of Hawaii, and children 6 to 12 years old for $1.00. Youngsters 5 years and under are free if an adult accompanies them.

HOLLIS E-Journals Botanical Databases Other Botanical Links ... Library Collections Oakes Ames (1874-1950) Papers Biography Oakes Ames was born into a wealthy and influential family in North Easton, Mass., on September 26, 1874. From childhood he was interested in botany, and set himself "the goal of learning the name of one new plant each day" (Mangelsdorf ix). Ames entered Harvard College in 1894, receiving his A.B. in 1898 and his A.M. in 1899. Ames began his career at Harvard as Instructor of Botany, a post which he held for 10 years. Ames would hold a variety of teaching and administrative positions at Harvard until his death in 1950. Ames also had an interest in economic botany. This became his other major field of study after he taught a course "Outlines of Economic Botany" in 1909-1910, and a few years later gave several lectures on medical botany at the Harvard School of Tropical Medicine (Shultes 73-74). His devotion to economic botany led Ames to collect what might be the most complete library and herbarium on the subject, both of which are now part of the Harvard University Herbaria. Oaks Ames's accomplishments were not limited to scholarship and collecting, however. As Director of the Botanical Museum, he "initiated a program of research and publication" as well as seeking (and finding) the financial support neccesary for the creation of an endowment fund (Mangelsdorf xiii).

Nematology Circular No. 74 (Botany 13) April 1981 Division of Plant Industry The Seriously Depleted Cowhorn Orchid, Cyrtopodium punctatum , Endangered in Florida K. R. Langdon Florida is home for several native species of orchids (2, 4). Among these is a rather spectacular species, Cyrtopodium punctatum (L.) Lindley, variously known as cowhorn orchid or cigar orchid because of the shape of the pseudobulbs (swollen stems). It has also been called bee-swarm orchid because of the fancied resemblance of the inflorescence to a swarm of bees suspended in air. Cyrtopodium punctatum occurs from extreme South Florida through the Caribbean Islands and southern Mexico into central South America. It at one time was rather abundant in the Everglades and Big Cypress swamps, but because of excessive collecting, is now nearly impossible to find there. Description : Large, epiphytic, up to 1 m tall; roots numerous, white, with erect, aerial branches; pseudobulbs from a short, thick rhizome, erect, solid, fusiform to 30 cm long x 5 cm thick, ringed, sheathed with leaves when young, with scarious sheaths, or bare when old; leaves up to about 12 per pseudobulb, linear, distichous, green, plicate, up to 70 x 5 cm; inflorescence a stout, lateral stalk from base of pseudobulb, several-branched near top, many-flowered with often 30-40 widely spreading, showy flowers; flowers March to May, 3.5 cm across, sepals greenish yellow with purplish brown spots, petals wavy, yellow, spotted with madder-brown, lip 3-lobed, brownish, yellow at base; capsules usually few, 8 cm long, 3-5 cm broad (1, 2, 3, 4).

Not only is this region richly endowed with species, but it contributes uniquely to the world's orchid flora by the fact that three-quarters of the total number of species are endemic to this area. Orchid growers will find the ecological details on each species, and the introductory chapters, which describe climatic conditions and vegetation, of particular value. Botanists and students will appreciate the carefully prepared diagnostic keys to the genera and species as a sure means of tracking down an unknown or unusual orchid. All those interested in wild flowers will enjoy looking at the detailed pictures of these enormously varied, colourful and intriguing plants and delight in being able to identify their discoveries in the wild.

Collections Guides Exhibitions Manuscripts Archives Resource Links ... Credits Herbs to Orchids Botanical Illustration in the Nineteenth Century An Exhibition March 18, 1996 through June 28, 1996 The Watkinson Library at Trinity College Hartford, Connecticut The Watkinson Library holds many important illustrated botanical works. A checklist of "Botanical Imprints in the Watkinson Library to 1800" (Watkinson Library Guide No.2) by Jeffrey H. Kaimowitz was published in 1982. The current exhibition was organized to highlight the nineteenth-century illustrated botanical imprints in the Watkinson Library. While most book illustrations before the nineteenth century were woodcuts and copperplate engravings, additional print techniques were introduced in the nineteenth century including stipple engraving, aquatint, mezzotint, uncolored and hand-colored lithography and chromolithography. The perfection of stipple engraving, which made more subtle variations possible, was particularly well suited to botanical illustration. Lithography, invented at the end of the eighteenth century, involved drawing directly on the stone rather than cutting or etching the plate. An example, exhibited here, is the largest botanical book published with lithographic plates, James Bateman's Orchidaceae of Mexico and Guatemala, printed in a limited edition of 125 copies.

The eerie quality of the orchid flower is what both draws and frightens some people. The seductive quality orchids possess leads collectors to hire people to explore the jungles in search of new species. The exquisite, yet common, orchid Orchids are for everyone, and there are plenty to go around. Orchids are the largest flowering species in the world; the orchid family consists of 25,000-30,000 natural species and about 100,000 manmade hybrids, and the list is growing at a rate of about 3,000 per year. Orchids are a joy to grow and fascinating in type, color and form. Some grow from branches high in tropical trees, clinging to bark and obtaining nourishment from rain, fog and surrounding vegetable matter. Others have thick stems or short, fat bulbs, wherein they store food and water. This helps them survive drought conditions. Terrestrial orchids, often found in wooded areas, have roots that grow in loose, moist, rich soil. Our state flower, the Lady Slipper, is a terrestrial orchid. Growing orchids Growing orchids is a fascinating hobby enjoyed by enthusiasts all over the world, who gladly offer support and solutions to every type of question or problem encountered.

96. Pollination Botany The study of pollination is an interdisciplinary field involving botany (the Some of the special ones include the Ophrys orchid and pseudocopulation by http://koning.ecsu.ctstateu.edu/Plant_Biology/pollination.html

Pollination Botany Pollination is a process involving flowers (the pollen source and stigma receiver) and a pollination vector (an agent carrying pollen to the stigma). The study of pollination is an interdisciplinary field involving botany (the plant side) and some other field (the vector side). In some ways, then, it is an ecological discipline. We are focusing here mostly on the plant side, so I am using the title Pollination Botany rather than Pollination Biology or Pollination Ecology. The gymnosperms used wind as a pollination vector. The pollen grains (endosporic microgametophytes) were carried by wind to the pollination droplets in the micropyles of the naked ovules. Here in angiosperms, the ovules are held inside the folded megasporophyll (the carpel) and so the pollen tube has a greater role. It must grow from the stigma to the micropyle and then penetrate the nucellus (megasporangium) to deliver the sperm cells to the egg and central cell. Wind pollination could work for the gymnosperms because of where they live. If you have ever been to the taiga (a northern coniferous forest) you can understand how it would work. These vast forests are a nearly monoculture of conifers. There are many individuals of the few species found in these forests. Thus casting pollen to the wind can work as there are plenty of "receivers" downwind. Wind pollination can work in angiosperms too, where almost-monocultures occur. An example are the grasslands and savannahs. Here huge stands of a relatively small number of species occur. There is plenty of opportunity for stigmas to be down-wind from anthers. Most grasses are wind-pollinated. The pollen is dry (to avoid clumping and precipitation), the male flowers are produced at the top of the plant (to put pollen into the wind), the filaments are thin and shake in the wind (the better to empty out pollen into the wind), the anthers produce vast numbers of pollen grains (it covers your car! the better to assure a stigma gets one), the female flowers are lower on the plant (to catch falling pollen), the stigmas are huge, feathery, and sticky (the better to catch a pollen grain).
