Orchideae

Ternstroemiacea occurred, Epiphytical orchideae are common, but were almost all out of flower. ❋ William Griffith (N/A)

Sedum, rocks strewn in every direction covered with Sedum and epiphylical orchideae. ❋ William Griffith (N/A)

Caelogyne and some other epiphylical orchideae, among others Bolbophyllum cylindraceum. ❋ William Griffith (N/A)

As regards the second objection, it has been observed that orchideae, which have often exceedingly small and light seeds, are remarkably absent from oceanic islands. ❋ Alfred Russel Wallace (1868)

Plants of the family of pothos, with succulent stems, oxalises, and orchideae of a singular structure, * rise in the driest clefts of the rocks; while creeping plants waving in the winds are interwoven in festoons before the opening of the cavern. ❋ Unknown (1851)

Notwithstanding its elevated temperature, it is difficult to believe that the air can dissolve the quantity of water exhaled from the surface of the soil, the foliage of the trees, and their trunks: the latter are covered with a drapery of orchideae, peperomia, and other succulent plants. ❋ Unknown (1851)

The trunks of the trees are everywhere concealed under a thick carpet of verdure; and if we carefully transplanted the orchideae, the pipers, and the pothoses, nourished by a single courbaril, or American fig-tree, * we should cover a vast extent of ground. ❋ Unknown (1851)

The few stunted trees were loaded with parasitical plants, among which the beauty and delicious fragrance of some of the orchideae were most to be admired. ❋ Charles Darwin (1845)

Plants of the family of pothos, with succulent stems, oxalises, and orchideae of a singular structure, * ❋ Alexander Von Humboldt (1814)

The trunks of the trees are everywhere concealed under a thick carpet of verdure; and if we carefully transplanted the orchideae, the pipers, and the pothoses, nourished by a single courbaril, or American fig-tree, * (* Ficus nymphaeifolia.) we should cover a vast extent of ground. ❋ Alexander Von Humboldt (1814)

We also found and procured seeds of Sophora tomentosa, and a plant of the natural order scitamineae, Hellenia coerulea, Brown: two parasitical plants of orchideae were found growing upon the bark of trees in the shady place near our watering-place; one was Dendrobium caniculatum, Brown; the other was also subsequently found at Cape Grafton and is not yet described; it has oblong, three-nerved, thick and leathery leaves; we saw no quadrupeds and but very few birds. ❋ Phillip Parker King (N/A)
