Bulbophyllum Raulersoniae - это вид орхидеи в разделе «Кодоносиф . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Это эндемично для островов Гуам и Рота на архипелаге Мариан . Этот вид был назван посмертно после того, как доктор Линн Раулерсон, профессор биологии в Университете Гуама , который обнаружил этот вид в 1986 году. [ 3 ] После того, как в 2022 году этот вид был впервые описан и назван в Orchideenjournal в течение 36 лет, в 2022 году назван и назван банджамином Делозо, Чарльзом Паулино и Джимом Кутсом . [ 4 ] [ 5 ]
Распределение
[ редактировать ]Известно, что этот вид встречается только во влажных лесах возвышенного известняка на островах Гуам и Рота , где он растет как эпифит в подлеске. [ 6 ] Типовый образец был обнаружен в северном Гуаме в Мачанао, недалеко от перекрестка Поттса, на расстоянии около 140 метров над уровнем моря, растущей на моринда Citrifolia . С тех пор эта среда обитания была очищена для развития, и не было никаких наблюдений за видами во время опроса 2016/2017 на соседней авиационной базе Андерсона на севере Гуама. [6][7]
In southern Guam, specimens can be seen growing on the elevated limestone caps along the Lamlam-Alifan ridge about 350 meters above sea level.[6]
On the island of Rota, Bulbophyllum raulersoniae has been observed growing at Sabana.[citation needed]
In their 2022 description of the species, Deloso et al. recommended surveys of other Mariana Islands to determine if this diminutive orchid may have a larger native range, as well as further searches to see if it may still persist in northern Guam.[6]
Description
[edit]In their original description of the species, Deloso et al. distinguish Bulbophyllum raulersoniae from other Bulbophyllum species by its "smaller pseudobulbs, an abscising lamina that leaves persisting pseudobulbs with a prominent leaf scar, a solitary flower on a short pedicel, and shorter petioles, lateral sepals, and petals."[6]

Bulbophyllum raulersoniae is smaller and more delicate than Bulbophyllum gaumense, another Guam and Rota endemic orchid.[3] They particularly differ in flower traits, although the two species have similar-appearing leaves, pseudobulbs and rhizomes. Both species produce one leaf per pseudobulb.[9] The pseudobulbs of Bulbophyllum raulersoniae persist after their associated leaf has fallen off, whereas the pseudobulb and leaf senesce together in Bulbophyllum guamense.[9]
Bulbophyllum raulersoniae blooms several times per year, but the flowers last only 2 days, opening slightly on the afternoon of the first day, fully opening by the next morning, and wilting by the afternoon of the second day.[6][3]
Ecology
[edit]Host plants identified so far include Morinda citrifolia, Areca catechu, Pandanus tectorius, Pandanus dibius, Elaeocarpus joga, Guettarda speciosa, and Freycinecia reineckii.[6]
Although many Orchidaceae species have relationships with specific pollinators, a pollinator for Bulbophyllum raulersoniae has not yet been identified.[6]
Conservation status
[edit]
Deloso et al. had recommended in 2022 that the species be listed as endangered, citing its restricted habitat on elevated limestone only on the islands of Guam and Rota.[6] As of March 2024, the species is not yet listed by the IUCN.[10]
