The structure of the perennial growth of Disa uniflora Berg. (Orchidaceae)

The perennation of orchids is poorly understood, in particular that of the Orchidoidae. The understanding of perennation in the Orchidoidae is important because the root-stem tuberoid is used as the one character defining the Orchidoidae as a monophyletic group. The root-stem tuberoid has never been...

description The perennation of orchids is poorly understood, in particular that of the Orchidoidae. The understanding of perennation in the Orchidoidae is important because the root-stem tuberoid is used as the one character defining the Orchidoidae as a monophyletic group. The root-stem tuberoid has never been examined for variation before. This project focuses on perennial growth in the Diseae in order to study the structure and function of the root stem tuberoid in relation to other organs and to contribute to the understanding of Orchidoid phylogeny.
