Ecological functions of carbohydrates stored in corms of Tipularia discolor (Orchidaceae)

1. The orchid Tipularia discolor possesses two to five subterranean corms containing a high concentration of total non-structural carbohydrates (TNC). W e investigated the role of corms in the initiation of new growth following seasonal dormancy, in reproduction, and in the response of plants to artificial defoliation. 2. Severance of older corms (representing c. 3O0/0 of total corm biomass) in...

Importance of woody debris in seed germination of Tipularia discolor (Orchidaceae).

Concerns about declining populations of terrestrial orchids make it important to identify the environmental factors crucial to seedling recruitment. This study shows that seedlings of Tipularia discolor (cranefly orchid) primarily occur on decomposing wood. Extensive searches of decomposing logs and stumps in mature and successional forests revealed seedlings at 24 sites, of which 15 could be i...

The Dynamics of Flowering and Fruit Production in Two Eastern North American Terrestrial Orchids, Tipularia Discolor and Liparis Lilifolia

Liparis lili/olia (L.) Richard and Tipularia discolor (Pursh) Nutall. are common terrestrial orchids in deciduous forests of eastern North America. Although the species have different breeding systems, fruit production in both species is pollinator limited. Liparis is self-incompatible while Tipularia is selfcompatible but anther cap retention promotes outcrossing. Annual variation in the numbe...

The Importance of Predation and Small Scale Disturbance to Two Woodland Herb Species

The ecology of woodland herbaceous species is reviewed. Many factors affect woodland herbs but there have been few studies of their impacts on long-term patterns. Results from a 10-year study of two species in a deciduous forest in Maryland are presented. Populations of Cynoglossum virginianum were influenced by their proximity to tree gap disturbances. Populations of Tipularia discolor were pr...
