Arundina graminifolia (D.Don) Hochr from Meghalaya KD 16 Nov : 2 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (5)Attached images are Arundina graminifolia (D.Don) Hochr (Bomboo orchid) Date :27.10.2014 Location: Kamrup district Family : Orchidaceae Genus& species : Arundina graminifolia (D.Don) Hochr Habitat: Terrestrial Habit : Heb A beautiful find ... thanks for sharing.. I got this growing near Jalpaigudi.. This is not a fruit - but still. I am curious about this plant. I photographed it on the path down to the hanging bridge over the Kunti river in Silent Valley Kerala on 28 August 2009. The second picture shows the watery rock where it was growing.
Pitcher Plants 1: Had encountered a few while trekking through the Kerangas [Heath Forests] of Bako National Park, Sarawak, Borneo. - Atleast you have seen them in wild, you are lucky... And special thanks for Arundina graminifolia "Nepenthes". What species are they by the way? This one looks like N. khasiana but I thought they were endemic to India. Flowering plant - 13Jul11AR01 from Silent Valley: Horticulture garden, SilentValley, 2-3feet high, Leaves alternate, flower size-8cms
Hopefully yes, Arundina graminifolia... May I see the picture of complete plant please.... Dr. Sathish's description of the species says the flowers of the South Indian variety are a dark colour and do not open completely. I think this fits the description. This is Arundina graminifolia from his garden at TBGRI :) This is the only picture I snapped. A better resolution photograph of the same flower is attached, if it could be of any help. The plant leaf description in wiki link do agree. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arundina The Arundina graminifolia orchid bloom pictures in Google searches though magnificent, appear to be strange - unbelievable transformation - from bud to showy Orchid. I think this is Arundina graminifolia of Orchidaceae family. This is a mature bud picture that would open in the next morning because the picture has taken by 05.54pm. This species has been reported from Silent Valley from Poochipara (close to dam (proposed) site) and surrounding places. Yes sir, it looks the same.

Arundina graminafolia flowering in Arunachal and Meghalya -Propably not in Assam, as it requies high altitude to flower natural habitat and not in natural condition in Assam Yes sir, it is a high altitude Orchid and not commonly found in Assam, but I can observed it in Karb- Anglong, Assam and Meghalaya border area (not common) alt- aprox. 900-1200 m. Msl. This species is all ready reported by Bhagabati, A.K., M. C. Kalita & S. Baruah, 2006. Biodiversity of Assam. Assam Science Society, Guwahati, Assam, India. pp. 43. Chowdhery, H.J. (2009).

I agree with ... Arundina graminafolia, or bamboo orchid (due its bamboo like appearance) is native orchid of Assam too. It is flowering wild (It flowers almost round the year) in the reserve forest of western Assam, adjacent to Bhutan Hills. Prefer sandy moist areas around the forest streams with full light. I think there need thorough discussion on the distribution of orchid flora in Assam. Location: Dibang valley, Arunachal Pradesh during August 2012. Very handsome orchid.

My Flora Picture of the Year 2014 : 12 posts by 12 authors. Attachments (2) This is quite difficult for anyone to choose a single out of numerous shots, each recorded with equal interest and dedication, and same is true for me.. The year 2014 brought a lot of opportunities for me to go out and record the plant sightings, starting in February 2014 when I got my much awaited tiny orchid, Zeuxine streumatica from Morni Hills...we visited Chakrata in April and again Morni Hills in October.. But my most memorable tour was Kalimpong-Pelling-Darjeeling Tour in May 2014 with ..., a die hard lover of orchids. There are so many things to tell about the tour, the professionalism of the hotel owners, cab owners and everyone out there, during the time which they call the "peak tourist season"- abhi to kamana hai. The cab people are so professionals..they charged whatever they wished, still they tried to travel non-stop..we had to quarrel with almost all the drivers that we are paying a good amount, and we will stop wherever we see any new plant, our sole aim to come here from far away places is to observe plants, but we never succeeded in telling them that we are not tourists.. On the first day, while going from Siliguri to Kalimpong, I observed a large number of tall plants among the grasses, which I immediately took as orchids, but being in a bus I could not get down to see or record them.. During all our days of stay there, we didn't get this orchid anywhere...Smita Ji was desperate to get it but I told her that bamboo orchid was not on any of our usual routes..we have to plan a special visit to that area..what, if I am wrong in id or in relocating the plant, in that case we will waste money and a valuable day, still we decided to go for it.. On the day of my back journey, we planned a visit from Darjeeling to Siliguri from indirect route (not the smallest) which will connect with the same road going from Siliguri to Kalimpong at the Teesta Bridge..this was sheer luck that we got few individuals of the bamboo orchid growing towards this part of the road and I realized that the sizeable number which I had seen during up journey was actually after Teesta Bridge towards Kalimpong and not this side.. On sight of this orchid, ... was so excited that she dropped the lens cover of her camera, not to be found again, but we were very happy to be successful in the end.. I hope the attached picture qualifies for being my FLORA PICTURE OF THE YEAR 2014.. Beautiful picture and interesting story, ... Thanks ... for excellent photograph and write up. Your picture and map reminded me of our College excursion trip to Darjeeling, Sikkim and Kalimpong in 2002. We just arrived in Kalimpong, were taking our lunch when market suddenly started closing, and we were informed that a local leader has been murdered, and there would be hartal possibly for several weeks. We rushed back to hotel, and as we had to take train back from Jalpaiguri, more more than 30 students. We explored all avenues, including police help, who flatly refused to help. Finally we declare SOS to our students and luckily one student had army commandant as relative. He arranged an army truck with escorts which carried us safely next morning to enable us to catch train in time. Real desire to explore our flora. Thanks, ... We still need some one who can bring unique Flora of Sikkim to us. ... Beauutiful picture ..yeah i was so excited to see such a gorgeous orchid i love it it was memorable trip we will visit Sikkim again Thanks ..., for the nice coverage and the picture. The kalimpong, pelling, darjiling area is very good for flower hunting especially in April-May. I visited these places in 2009 April. Especially at SIkkim lot of orchids could be seen. Almost every house has few pots with colourful flowers. Excellent write up and superb photograph. Really beautiful.. Yes ...!! Reading through all that went into getting to that orchid fully qualifies it to be your flora picture of the year. Indeed it is difficult to choose a flora pic from the several we collected during the year - the prized one could be for so many reasons ... has to be the most wanted OR the least expected ... is found only on a treacherous route ... supposedly a rare occurrence OR very common one that has eluded us always ... Beautiful shot; beautiful orchid !! Eastern Himalaya is the richest region to see orchids in the Himalaya and Sikkim is probably best place. But a desire to see and walk through the woods is required to experience these jewels of nature in their native land. Only an ardent like you can do so. A beautiful flower with everlasting memories, aptly selected as Flora picture of the Year. The picture is simply superb. Very nice write up. Reminded me of my visit to Darjeeling

Myanmar Orchid No. 2 : 10 posts by 4 authors. 1 image. Arundina graminifolia pour confirmation Photo taken on the 22-10-2016 altitude 1370met. In Maing Thauk, Shan State, Myanmar Having seen this orchid, I think the id is correct as Arundina graminifolia... Can you please tell me the habitat and size of flower? This can be either Arundina graminifolia or A. cespitosa!! Concerning the plant: - On the heights around Lake Inlé (altitude: 1300-1400m) - It is not in the forest but the flower was rather in the shade in the grass. - size taken at 70mm / focusing 47cm. I would say that the size of the flower is 10-12 cm By size of the flower it means from the top of the dorsal sepal to the end of the labellum. In the "A Checklist of the Trees, Shrubs, Herbs, and Climbers of Myanmar / Contributions from the United States National Herbarium" there is only Arundina graminifolia, A. cespitosa is not cited. Then this should be Arundina graminifolia.

Attachments (1) Arundina graminifolia from todays (8.9.18) hike in Hong Kong. one flower + two insects. wonderful. can a spider be ever a pollinator? i wonder So far spider has not been reported as pollinator. Spiders do sit on flower, waiting for the real pollinators or other insects that visit the flower. Very common thing to see. aha, predator, not pollinator Very Nice ... Never had opportunity to come across white variety.

Habitat: CultivatedNice, Arundina graminifolia. Nice to see the seed pods... thanks … for sharing nice pics CoL listed 3 accepted sp. : Arundina graminifolia (D.Don) Hochr., Arundina graminifolia subsp. caespitosa (Aver.) H.A.Pedersen & Schuit. Orchids of India book listed 2 sp.: A. graminifolia var. graminifolia and A.graminifolia var revoluta. CoL says Arundina graminifolia var. revoluta (Hook.f.) A.L.Lamb is Syn. of Arundina graminifolia subsp. caespitosa (Aver.) H.A.Pedersen & Schuit.. The fruiting image looks matches with A. graminifolia var. graminifolia from the Orchids of India book. Can some expert put light on this ? There are only two as per Catalogue of life as Arundina graminifolia (D.Don) Hochr. means Arundina graminifolia subsp. graminifolia only, with wide spread distribution in India as per distribution. Pl. also see POWO. While Arundina graminifolia subsp. caespitosa (Aver.) H.A.Pedersen & Schuit. is only reported from Assam in India. Pl. also see POWO. Yes ...I have gone through all these. I sent for clarification since we mostly follow CoL, and recent book Orchids of India from BSI listed two as in my earlier mail. ! Arundina graminifolia from Hong Kong : 2 posts by 2 authors.
