Orchid Research Newsletter No. 44 

(July 2004) 

Introduction 

Taxonomy and conservation have always been 

intimately related. Unless you know where plants grow 

and what they are, you cannot formulate plans to 

conserve them. Great strides have been made in recent 

years to complete an alpha-taxonomic checklist of the 

world’s orchids, and few countries are now devoid of a 

checklist or floristic account. The same could not have 

been said even ten years ago. The World Orchid 

Checklist (details in the last ORN), to which many 

specialists have contributed, is now on the web and is 

being widely used, but we would still appreciate 

corrections being sent to the compiler. It is proving an 

immensely useful tool, and a searchable version will 

shortly be made available on the Kew website. 

The successful Second International Orchid 

Conservation Conference at the Marie Selby Botanical 

Garden in May 2004 was attended by 130 delegates 

from 22 countries. The programme was diverse and of 

a high standard. The attendance of so many 

postgraduate students and their excellent contributions 

was particularly encouraging and invigorating. Wes 

Higgins and the Selby staff are to be congratulated for 

providing superb facilities and an enjoyable ambience 

for the meeting. Readers will be able to see the 

contributions in a forthcoming issue of Selbyana. 

I have recently been in Madagascar and China, 

both countries where conservation is a major issue 

because of large human populations and consequent 

loss of habitat. In Madagascar, the new government 

has given conservation efforts a higher priority, and the 

signs are promising that the rate of habitat loss will be 

reduced. However, habitats continue to suffer because 

of the continuing rapid rise in population numbers and 

the low standard of living with many people still 

dependent on the environment for their survival. In 

China, where population numbers are more stable, 

rising standards of living are the main threat. Areas 

that were remote and difficult of access ten years ago 

have now been opened up to tourism by major roadbuilding 

programmes, hotel construction, and generally 

tidying up of the countryside. Nevertheless, the 

generation of substantial income from tourism in 

protected areas in China portends that many will 

survive. 

Now that ORN is not distributed by 

conventional means and available only on the Internet, I 

would encourage readers to continue to send in 

information about their research and any other pertinent 

news for inclusion in the forthcoming issues (see 

below). 

Karlheinz Senghas and Paddy Woods, two of 

the leading orchid taxonomists of the past few decades, 

passed away this spring, a sad and significant loss for 

the small community of orchid specialists and to their 

many friends. – Phillip Cribb

In Memoriam 

Fritz Hamer (1912-2004) 

Fritz Hamer, the most prominent and maybe the only 

real expert on the orchids of El Salvador and Nicaragua 

during the second half of the 20th century, was the last 

of a long list of German collectors and scientists who 

played a relevant role in the history of Central 

American orchidology. 

Hamer was born on 22 November 1912 in Hamburg, 

Germany, where he grew up and received his education 

in business in a Dutch-owned export company. In 1936 

his company sent him to Venezuela and a year later to 

Guatemala, where the onset of World War II found 

him. He owned a farm that was confiscated by the 

Guatemalan government and in 1942 was repatriated to 

Germany, where he served in the Army during the 

campaign against Russia. At the end of the war he 

went back to Guatemala for a short period of time and 

established himself later in El Salvador, where he 

formed a successful company that imported and 

distributed auto parts. 

His interest in orchids started relatively late in life. 

Around 1960, someone gave him a Miltonia that caught 

his artistic eye and led to his first orchid drawing. He 

began exploring the country in search of orchids, which 

he cultivated patiently, preparing photographs, 

illustrations, and descriptions. Hamer soon discovered 

the lack of adequate bibliography about the orchids of 

his adoptive country. After Standley’s and Calderón’s 

Preliminary List of the Plants of El Salvador (1925), in 

which 63 species of orchids in 28 genera were 

described, nothing else had been published about the 

orchid flora of the country. Motivated by this, Hamer 

began in 1971 the preparation of his fundamental work 

The Orchids of El Salvador, the first two volumes of 

which were published in 1974 by the Ministry of 

Education of El Salvador. In it 279 species in 67

genera were described. Social and political unrest, 

which led later to civil war, made Hamer abandon El 

Salvador and move to Florida, where he became part of 

the scientific staff of the Marie Selby Botanical 

Gardens. It was there where he published, in 1981, the 

third volume of his work, bringing the number of 

Salvadorian orchids to 362 species in 93 genera. 

Alfonso H. Heller (1894-1973), an American of 

German origin, died of a coronary in 1973 while 

watering the garden of his large estate high up in the 

hills overlooking Managua, the capital of Nicaragua. 

Heller, who had studied the orchids of Nicaragua since 

1957, left a truckload full of information on local 

orchids with drawings, descriptions, color slides, and 

specimens of dried plants of Orchidaceae, as well as a 

large and valuable library, which were donated by 

Christiane Heller to the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, 

then under the directorship of Dr. Calaway H. Dodson. 

The donation was made with the understanding that 

arrangements would be made to use Heller’s work for a 

publication. Dodson invited Hamer, who still resided 

in El Salvador, to have a look at Heller’s material. 

Then there was another development. The Missouri 

Botanical Garden had committed itself to preparing a 

Flora de Nicaragua, in cooperation with the University 

of Managua, and Hamer was asked to take over the 

family of orchids within that Flora. With Heller’s 

material as a base, Hamer visited the herbaria at Kew, 

the Field Museum in Chicago, the Escuela Agrícola 

Panamericana at “El Zamorano” in Honduras, at 

Managua and at the University of Michigan, finding 

that there was more material available from past 

expeditions to Nicaragua. Fascicle seven of the first 

series of Icones Plantarum Tropicarum, edited by 

Dodson, which contained the first 100 descriptions and 

illustrations by Hamer on the orchids of Nicaragua, was 

published in 1982. During the next years, Hamer 

published 500 additional plates for the Icones. Thus it 

was again Hamer who filled a void in the bibliography 

of the orchids of Central America. Since the doubtful 

‘Flora Nicaragüense’ of Miguel Ramírez Goyena 

(1909), in which 94 species were listed, nothing else 

had ever been published about the orchidaceous flora of 

that country. Between 1988 and 1990 Hamer published 

in the scientific journal Selbyana (Vol. 10 and 11) his 

Orchids of Central America – an Illustrated Field 

Guide, in which he reproduced all his illustrations of 

the orchids of the region, although without descriptions. 

The project of the Flora de Nicaragua of the Missouri 

Botanical Garden became finally a reality in 2001, and 

again it was Hamer, already 89 years of age, who 

authored the chapter on Orchidaceae, describing 587 

species in 144 genera. 

Hamer collaborated also with Dr. Carlyle A. Luer, 

translating into German the seven volumes of 

Thesaurus Dracularum (1988-1994) and the first five 

volumes of A Treasure of Masdevallia (1996-2001). 

During his life, Hamer published 14 new species and 9 

new combinations of Orchidaceae. Other species were 

described based on collections by Hamer and dedicated 

to him: Beloglottis hameri Garay, Pelexia hameri 

Garay, and Ponthieva hameri Dressler. Hamer was 

married for 42 years to Hedwig Pfister, to whom he 

dedicated one of the new species he had discovered: 

Maxillaria hedwigae Hamer & Dodson. 

He had three sons, one of which was murdered in 2003 

by kidnappers in El Salvador. Overwhelmed by this 

tragedy, which cast a shadow over the last months of 

his life, Fritz Hamer passed away in Sarasota, Florida, 

on 13 January 2004. -- Carlos Ossenbach. 

Dr. Karlheinz Senghas (1928–2004) 

On 4 February 2004, Dr. Karlheinz Senghas, former 

academic director of the University of Heidelberg's 

Botanical Garden, passed away in the early morning 

hours. Supported by internet and e-mail, this sad news 

has spread rapidly through the international orchid 

community. 

After his studies and Ph.D. in 1960, he served as 

curator and scientific director of Heidelberg's Botanical 

Garden until his retirement in 1993. Professor Rauh 

persuaded him to take over the responsibility of the 

orchid section in 1960. Rauh believed that a single 

individual could not expand several collections and and 

conduct scientific research at the same time (see 

Journal für den Orchideenfreund 4/2000, page 269). 

Dr. Senghas was president of the Deutsche Orchideen- 

Gesellschaft from 1976-1978 and active in the society's 

editorial office. There he contributed to the society's 

journal, Die Orchidee, as co-initiator of the reliable 

orchid card files. These card files have been published 

from 1976 until today. 

In 1962 he described his first orchid species, Aerangis 

buchlohii Sengh. He was responsible for more than 

300 publications on orchids (see: 

http://www.kurpfalzorchid.de/). All of his studies and 

publications are respected at both the national and 

international levels. As a taxonomist and researcher in 

systematic botany, he established 17 new orchid genera 

and described 388 species. 

Dr. Senghas was co-publisher and concluding editor of 

the third edition of the Schlechter manual Die 

Orchideen (four volumes and one register volume), 

adding up to 13 kg of books with more than 3000 

pages! This is a manual for botanists, scientists, orchid 

enthusiasts, and commercial growers, an immense work

3 

finally published after 17 years of preparation 

beginning in 1953. 

Among orchid enthusiasts this opus, his life's work, is 

simply known as "Schlechter". But, it should or could 

be titled "Senghas", without disrespecting his coauthor's 

merits, as he was the sole editor over the years 

of publishing, gave this manual his personal style, and 

brought it to completion. In his bilingual book Orchids 

– Plants of Extremes, Contrasts, and Superlatives, he 

gave an excellent overview of this large plant family. It 

was illustrated with colour photos of more than 500 

species, many of them rare, which he documented 

during his scientific work at Heidelberg Botantic 

Garden. 

He was known not only to the orchid people but to the 

general botanical and horticultural communities as well. 

He edited, revised, and enlarged Schmeil Fitschen, a 

flora of Germany, several times. This flora is studied 

by every German botany student. In his popular 

lectures and courses for beginners in botany, he always 

tested its functionality and so improved its easy use. 

Dr. Senghas received many honours, such as the orchid 

genera Senghasia (Journal für den Orchideenfreund, 

4/2003) and Senghasiella (Die Orchidee, 3/2003), the 

complex hybrid Senghasara, and the hybrid 

Paphiopedilum Dr. Karlheinz Senghas (roebellini × 

Vanguard), grown by Hilmar Doll. Coryanthes 

senghasiana was dedicated to him by Gerlach. 

From its first issue, he was engaged in working for the 

Vereinigung Deutscher Orchideenfreunde's Journal für 

den Orchideenfreund. His first article in the journal 

described a new genus, Cydoniorchis (see issue 1/1994, 

pages 11 ff.). This premiere was followed by some 200 

contributions, including about a hundred literature 

reviews, that Dr. Senghas made to 40 issues of Journal 

für den Orchideenfreund. This cooperative working 

relationship lasted ten years, as the first issue is dated 4 

February 1994. Only a few days before his death we 

discussed issue 1/2004. For us as editor of Journal für 

den Orchideenfreund, leader of the Kurpfalz Orchid 

Group or curator and scientific collaborator, we lose a 

friend and “the orchid specialist” in Europe. -- Roland 

Schettler (Mittelcarthausen 2, D-58553 Halver, 

Germany); Ingrid and German Senger (Kreuzstr. 25, 

D-68753 Waghäusel, Germany); Dr. Günter Gerlach, 

Botanischer Garten München-Nymphenburg, 

Menzinger Str. 65, D-80638 München, Germany). 

Ellinor (“Nora”) Freeman Dunsterville 

(1904-2004) 

Nora Dunsterville, widow of G.C.K. (“Stalky”) 

Dunsterville, passed away on 15 May 2004, just three 

months short of what would have been her 100th 

birthday on 14 August. A chance meeting that began on 

a hockey field in Birmingham, England, led to marriage 

in Egypt in 1929 and eventually an unparalleled 

account of Venezuela’s orchid flora until Stalky died on 

26 November 1988. 

In a partnership that spanned six decades, they explored 

the remotest tepuis of Venezuela, including Auyántepui 

that inspired Arthur Conan Doyle to write The Lost 

World. They recounted their exploits for over 20 years 

in the pages of the American Orchid Society Bulletin 

and other journals, brimming with Stalky’s magnificent 

photographs and drawings of orchid species and 

thrilling a generation of orchid growers vicariously. We 

were there when they found the only way to the summit 

of Auyántepui through the so-called Access Crack, 

helicoptered to the tops of other spectacular tepuis, 

crawled unknowingly over pit-vipers, and paddled 

along often treacherous rivers in a dugout canoe. Their 

joy in discovering nature infected readers with a 

passion to cultivate orchid species. Nora was there to 

tell us how, a skill which Stalky attributed to training 

by her father, Bertram Freeman, who won several gold 

medals in England for his alpine plants. 

From their base in El Hatillo southeast of Caracas they 

would use every free moment on weekends and 

holidays to climb into their jeep and explore the tepuis, 

rivers, and forests of Venezuela for orchids. Long 

before women’s liberation became a movement, Nora 

would meet every challenge that Stalky did – being 

lowered by helicopter onto Cerro Autana, standing on 

the edge of the deep holes of Meseta de Sarisariñama, 

paddling down the Orinoco, surviving insects, snakes, 

thirst, cloudbursts, mud, and heat. In 1964, at the age of 

60, she hiked up the boulders of the Access Crack with 

Stalky to the top of Auyántepui, where Jimmy Angel’s 

plane had landed without rising again in 1937. Nora 

filtered drinking water from bromeliads through rags 

for the expedition, “making it potable but producing a 

dreadful cup of tea,” she later wrote. 

Nora co-authored many of Stalky’s 250 articles on 

orchids over four decades. They collected more than 

1,055 species, which were described with Dr. Leslie 

Garay of the Oakes Ames Orchid Herbarium of 

Harvard University and illustrated in the six volumes of 

Venezuelan Orchids Illustrated and later in Orchids of 

Venezuela: An Illustrated Field Guide. In 1985 Stalky 

and Nora donated hundreds of their liquid-preserved 

specimens to the American Orchid Society. Several 

years later these (which included 23 holotypes) were 

transferred to The Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, 

where they were part of a restoration grant from the 

National Science Foundation. 

Several species were named after both Stalky and Nora, 

such as Epidendrum dunstervilleorum, Lepanthes

dunstervilleorum, Oncidium dunstervilleorum, and 

Stelis dunstervilleorum. Nora is individually 

commemorated in Lepanthes norae, Elleanthus norae, 

Notylia norae, and Stelis norae. Both Stalky and Nora 

received Silver Medals from the American Orchid 

Society in 1987 for decades of service to the orchid 

world. 

Nora’s ashes were interred next to Stalky’s grave in the 

cemetery in El Hatillo on 19 June 2004. They are 

survived by their daughters, Jennifer D. Fernández and 

Hilary D. Branch, along with many grandchildren and 

great-grandchildren. We send our sincere condolences 

and thank them for sharing such gifted individuals with 

the world for so long. – Alec Pridgeon 

Patrick Woods (1932-2004) 

Patrick Woods, Paddy to his many friends, died 

peacefully on 28 May 2004 after a long illness. He is 

best known for his association with and work on 

Bornean and New Guinea orchids and gesneriads, 

passions stimulated by an expedition to the islands in 

1962, more of which later. 

Paddy was born on 3 July 1932 in Ballinderry, 

Northern Ireland, the middle of three brothers and the 

great-grandson of Thomas Smith, the founder of the 

renowned Daisy Hill nursery in Newry. He grew up on 

the outskirts of Belfast and attended a local primary 

school. Coincidentally, he had already established an 

early link with Scotland, having spent his seventh year 

in Glasgow. His leaving-present was Norman 

Macdonald’s 1940 book, The Orchid Hunters, with its 

tales of derring-do set in South America. At the age of 

11 he started his secondary education at Belfast High 

School. 

After he left school he took up an 

apprenticeship at Mount Stewart, a famous garden on 

the Ards Peninsula, Strangford Loch (now a National 

Trust property). His early interests there were 

rhododendrons, conifers, and temperate trees and 

shrubs, but he also gained his first taste of orchids in 

the small but choice tropical orchid collection there. 

He entered the Edinburgh Botanic Garden in 1953 as a 

student on their three-year horticultural diploma course. 

Edinburgh had a fine orchid collection that had been 

developed and grown from 1911 until 1947 by Alfred 

Munday, a former employee of the famous Sander 

orchid nursery of St Albans. During this period, Sir 

Isaac Bayley Balfour, the Director, had worked closely 

with George Forrest, the famous plant collector in 

China. Consequently, a number of rare Chinese species 

survived in the collection, including the spectacular 

Cymbidium wilsonii (which fortunately still survives 

there), Pleione forrestii, and Bulleya yunnanensis, 

named after Forrest’s patron A.K. Bulley, the owner of 

Bee’s Nursery at Ness, Cheshire. 

On successfully completing the diploma 

course in 1956, Paddy joined the herbarium staff as an 

assistant to Mr B. L. “Bill” Burtt, who is an authority 

on Old World Gesneriaceae. He originally helped with 

Burtt’s work on Streptocarpus and Saintpaulia but was 

asked to name Asiatic species, especially 

Aeschynanthus, which became a life-long interest. 

In 1962, Paddy joined Bill Burtt’s expedition 

to Sarawak for five of the six months. They worked in 

the Gunung Mulu area before it was gazetted as a 

National Park. The later rediscovery in 1978 of 

Paphiopedilum sanderianum in the region by his good 

friend George Argent was received philosophically by 

Paddy, who must have been within metres of the 

discovery himself. 

From Sarawak, Paddy visited Papua New 

Guinea at the invitation of Geoff Elworthy, a keen 

orchid grower who lived in Port Moresby. He was 

amazed at the diversity of New Guinea’s orchids, 

currently estimated at over 3000 species. Many orchids 

were brought back as living plants for later 

identification when they flowered. This injection of 

fine species led to Edinburgh gaining a reputation for 

its expertise on New Guinea orchids, especially the 

brightly coloured, cushion-forming, high-elevation 

Dendrobium species of sections Oxyglossum, 

Calyptrochilus, and Cuthbertsonia. Dick Warren was 

inspired to start propagating these when Paddy 

introduced him to Edinburgh’s collection of them 

several years ago. 

Paddy embarked on a revision of the 

perplexing and variable species of Dendrobium sect. 

Oxyglossum with Tom Reeve, who lived for many 

years at Laiagam in the New Guinea highlands and 

undertook many expeditions to collect orchids for the 

Enga Province government orchid centre that he 

established at Laiagam. The resulting monograph that 

was published in 1990 is a model of its kind, accessible 

to both the professional taxonomist and orchid growers. 

Paddy was able to compare his collections with those of 

Rudolf Schlechter and other collectors in New Guinea, 

of which Edinburgh has an excellent selection. Paddy 

encouraged the Garden to exhibit its New Guinea 

orchid collection, and it did so successfully at several 

orchid shows as far afield as Glasgow, London, and 

Germany. 

The 14 th World Orchid Conference in Glasgow 

saw the publication of highly praised Wild Orchids of 

Scotland, which Paddy co-authored. Paddy also nearly 

brought off a coup in getting a series of fine 

watercolours of Scottish orchids or another set of 

orchids with Scottish connections featured on a series 

of British postage stamps to commemorate the event. 

Sadly, another series of orchid stamps was chosen. 

Paddy retired from the Royal Botanic Garden 

Edinburgh in 1992, their last orchid specialist (for the 

time being I hope!). However, both he and Jennifer 

continued to take an actively participate in the Garden’s 

work as honorary staff members. 

Paddy’s links with Ireland were nurtured all 

the time. In a lecture he once gave he commented that

5 

“Ireland is full of odd people and odd places – there are 

even moss forests nearer than New Guinea. This one (a 

photograph of the Burren) is an area on the west 

coast…which consists of vast tracts of apparently 

barren limestone pavement. This prompted one of 

Cromwell’s generals to remark in the 17 th Century: ‘it is 

a country where there is not water enough to drown a 

man, wood to hang one, nor earth enough to bury 

him’.” Paddy added, “But this is not the case, for there 

are plants between the rocks and there are lovely banks 

of flowers, which brings me back to where I started – 

Orchis mascula”. His good friend, the artist Raymond 

Piper, produced a magnificent study of Irish orchids, 

including Orchis mascula, and their varieties, all in 

habitat. Paddy was his main confidant and identified 

all that was sent to him, encouraging him to publish his 

deep knowledge of these wonderful plants (he has yet 

to do so, “being a perfectionist always searching for the 

holy grail” as Paddy noted). Throughout his life, Paddy 

kept up a correspondence with many friends and 

acquaintances, encouraging them. He was particularly 

pleased to see the National Botanic Garden, Glasnevin, 

revive their orchid collection through the enthusiasm of 

Brendan Sayers and his team and received honourable 

mention in the recent book on orchids at Glasnevin. 

Paddy contracted multiple sclerosis in 1969. 

His wife, Pauline, contracted breast cancer at about the 

same time and died in 1975. Paddy married his 

colleague Jennifer Lamont, with whom he worked at 

the Herbarium, shortly afterwards. Jennifer and Paddy 

formed a marvellous team and made light of Paddy’s 

illness until near the end. Paddy died on 28 May and is 

survived by Jennifer and his son and daughter from his 

first marriage. 

The orchid world is the poorer for his loss. 

We all admired his determination to lead a full life and 

his and Jennifer’s devotion to each other. He was a 

great friend and mentor to me and many others and will 

be greatly missed by us. --Phillip Cribb

Upcoming Conferences 

18th World Orchid Conference (11-20 

March 2005) 

Registration forms and hotel bookings for what 

promises to be a spectacular World Orchid Conference 

and Show in Dijon, France, are now online at 

http://www.woc2005.org. The provisional lecture 

programme has been recently added to the website. 

You may also download a .pdf file with complete 

information on all the social events, optional tours, and 

post-Conference tours. We urge those planning to 

attend to arrange for hotel rooms as soon as possible 

because they will be going fast. 

First Scientific Conference on Andean 

Orchids (11-13 November 2005) 

The First Scientific Conference on Andean Orchids, 

sponsored by Ecuagenera, Cia. Ltda., will be held 11- 

13 November 2005 in Gualaceo, Ecuador. The 

Conference will not be associated with any show, and 

there will be no social events. However, there will be 

multiple-day pre-conference tours for registrants on a 

first-come, first-served basis as well as local tours to 

Cuenca, Sigsig, and Chordeleg. This is an excellent 

opportunity to see first-hand the incredible diversity of 

Ecuador's orchids with expert guides from Ecuagenera. 

There can be no collecting on the tours without a permit 

from the Ecuadorian government, but plants from 

Ecuagenera will be available for sale and CITES export 

documents and phytosanitary certificates will be 

provided on-site. Publicity with registration details and 

the lecture programme will soon appear in orchid 

journals, on the web and in the next issue (no. 45) of 

the Orchid Research Newsletter. 

This promises to be an extraordinary experience for all 

registrants, many of whom will be students from 

Ecuador and other countries. For further information 

you may contact either Pepe Portilla 

(ecuagen@c.ecua.net.ec) or Alec Pridgeon 

(a.pridgeon@rbgkew.org.uk).

Book Reviews 

Koeniger, W. Oncidium. Eine Monograph 1. Verlag 

Helga Koeniger, München, Germany. Pp. 256, 60 

colour photographs, 60 b/w line drawings. Price: c. 

£66. 

This volume, the first of a projected five on the genus 

Oncidium, is both well produced and well illustrated. 

The aim of the author is to present a monograph of the 

genus to show the diversity of this “polymorphic 

genus” and enable readers to identify all of the known 

species. 

The text is bilingual, German and English, and 

covers etymology, allied species, a description, 

distinguishing features, section, distribution, selected 

herbarium collections, taxonomic notes and brief 

cultural notes. Each species is illustrated by a fine 

colour photograph of a flower and a detailed black-andwhite 

line drawing. It would have been helpful to 

fellow taxonomists if the collector’s name and number 

could have been added to the herbarium collection 

details. 

The content covers many familiar species, 

such as O. abortivum, O. croesus, O. forbesii and O. 

hastilabium, as well as a few that will be less well 

known, such as O. niesseniae, O. macasense, O. 

magnificum, and O. riopalenqueanum. 

The author has adopted the traditional 

treatment of Oncidium outlined by Garay (1974) in the 

Botanical Museum Leaflets, with minor modifications 

made by Senghas (1997) in the third edition of 

Schlechter’s Die Orchideen and here by the author. 

Chase and Williams’ (2001) revision of the Oncidiinae 

based on molecular sequence analysis is mentioned but 

not followed. For example, the author dismisses their 

removal of a number of species to Trichocentrum 

because “the pollinaria…show all typical features of the 

pollinaria of the genus Oncidium”. Deeper 

examination, reflection, and time may well change the 

author’s views on this matter. 

It will be a relief to readers that the text is in 

English, albeit a slightly idiosyncratic version, and this 

will undoubtedly increase the readership. Might I 

suggest that the English text of future volumes is 

checked by a native English speaker? 

This book is undoubtedly a useful addition to 

the literature on Oncidium and will serve to achieve the 

author’s aims of bringing the genus to a wider audience 

and of supplying names for plants in cultivation. The 

publisher is to be commended for the attractive 

presentation of this volume.

luscious substance. Michael Joseph Penguin, London. 

Pp. 278, 16 b/w photographs. ISBN 0-718-14589-5. 

Price: £16.99. 

Vanilla is such a ubiquitous flavouring nowadays that 

little thought is given to its introduction, biology, 

cultivation, and trade. However, like many of our 

spices, vanilla has exotic origins and an intriguing 

history. The origins can be traced to pre-Colombian 

Mexico where the Aztecs and their forebears used it to 

flavour a chocolate drink consumed by the nobility and 

rulers. Like many tropical American plants, especially 

the useful ones, the Spanish introduced it to Europe 

where it was cultivated as a hothouse novelty. Tim 

Ecott brings the fascinating story of its development 

into a plantation crop in Réunion to life, especially the 

sad story of Edmond Albius, a black slave in Réunion 

who solved the problem of pollinating the flowers, 

without which they would not produce their valuable 

beans (the fruits), but died impoverished. Edmond’s 

success started an industry that flourishes today in 

places as far afield as the Mascarene Islands,

Madagascar, and Tahiti but, sadly, is only a shadow of 

its former glory in Mexico where the plant originated. 

In Mexico, vanilla is still cultivated but on a 

small scale and in a marketplace dominated by the 

middlemen and shady dealers. They reap the profits 

rather than the poor farmers who grow this labourintensive 

crop. Vanilla is still known as a wild plant 

but must be considered endangered in its present range, 

a conservation issue that has yet to be fully addressed. 

The author has trodden the ground thoroughly both in 

Mexico and where it is currently commercially grown, 

taking him to some of the world’s most exotic 

locations, all with tropical moist climates on the edges 

of some of the world’s finest coral reefs, the author 

being a well-known travel journalist, specializing in 

diving and snorkelling. 

Today, vanilla capsules (“pods”) are almost 

worth their weight in gold. Successive cyclones have 

devastated the vanilla plantations of north-eastern 

Madagascar, and when I visited Antalaha (one of the 

centres) last year, the current price was over $500 per 

kilo. Madagascar fears for its premier place in the 

league of vanilla growers and the corresponding loss of 

revenue, which accounts for such a large proportion of 

the GDP of that impoverished country. 

Tim Ecott has put together a gripping story 

that is well told and remarkably free from factual errors 

and typos that plague so many popular science books 

these days. He has followed the story of vanilla from 

Mexico to Spain, then to 17 th century England and 

France and on to the tropics where the French took the 

lead in establishing vanilla as a plantation crop. His 

retelling of the story of Edmond Albius, thoroughly 

researched from the Colonial archives in Reunion, fills 

many gaps and is a poignant one. Reading his tale of 

the cloak-and-dagger, modern-day trade, devastated by 

natural disasters in 2001 and again this year, makes one 

fear for the future of Madagascar’s poor vanilla 

growers. 

I can thoroughly recommend this exciting 

account of the world’s most famous orchid to readers. 

The publishers should be commended for an attractive 

and well-illustrated production.

Pleurothallis subgenus Acianthera and three allied 

subgenera. A second century of new species of Stelis of 

Ecuador. Epibator, Ophidion and Zootrophion. 

Missouri Botanic Garden Monographs 95. ISBN 0161- 

1542. Pp. 265. 247, b/w line drawings, and distribution 

maps. 

Carl Luer’s phenomenal production rate shows no sign 

of diminishing. The 24 th volume of his seminal account 

of pleurothallid orchids has appeared on schedule and 

to the same high standard as previous volumes. 

Volume 24 comprises accounts of the species 

of four groups of Pleurothallis s.l. namely Acianthera 

(107 spp.), Abberantia (2 spp.), Didactylus (4 spp.) and 

Unguella (1 sp.), a hundred new species of Stelis from 

Ecuador, and revisions of the genera Epibator, 

Ophidion and Zootrophion. Those unfamiliar with the 

rich diversity of orchids in the Andes and the 

inaccessible nature of much of the terrain will never 

cease to be amazed at the sheer number of novelties 

that Carl Luer and his colleagues are describing from 

countries that were thought to be relatively well 

explored botanically. However, such is the narrow 

endemism of many species, confined often to a single 

valley or mountain, that new species are the norm 

rather than the exception. For example, subgenus 

Acianthera contains well-known species such as P. 

prolifera and P. sicaria, but the majority of the species 

have been described by Luer and his colleagues in 

recent years. The 100 Stelis described here are only a 

fraction of the number of novelties that he has 

identified but have yet to be described. This is perhaps 

less surprising than the numbers of new Masdevallia, 

Dracula, and Pleurothallis that have recently appeared 

because Stelis have, by and large, small flowers with 

tiny petals, lip and column. Earlier generations have 

shied away from them, finding easier and showier 

subjects for study. The author is to be particularly 

commended for his determination and ability to sort out 

the new from those species already described. This 

involves years of detailed examination of herbarium 

material, some dating back to the pioneering 

explorations of Ruiz and Pavon and Humboldt and 

Bonpland. 

The format for each account is similar to that 

of earlier volumes. A key to the species follows the 

generic or sectional account. For each species, 

nomenclature, description, distribution with map, 

collections, and taxonomic notes are provided, 

accompanying a fine b/w line drawing by the author 

and inked by Stig Dalström. 

I have recently found the series of immense 

use in identifying Lehmann collections from Colombia 

and Ecuador, many of which have not been examined 

before by botanists despite having been collected over a 

century ago. Every herbarium has large collections of 

unidentified specimens awaiting determination. Carl 

Luer’s series certainly makes the task easier. 

This series is now effectively the “bible” for 

all pleurothallid afficionados. I cannot imagine that the 

author ever thought that the series would stretch to 24 

volumes, but I am assured that several more are in the 

pipeline. I for one eagerly await them.
