Dendrobium chrysocrepis (Orchidaceae), a new record for Thailand

Abstract

Dendrobium Sw., one of the largest orchid genera (Wood, 2006), belongs to subtribe Dendrobiinae in tribe Dendrobieae of the large subfamily Epidendroideae. It contains about 1,450 species distributed among 28 sections (Pridgeon et al., 2014), 10 of which are represented in Thailand. Section Dendrobium is relatively large, comprising of approximately 100 species distributed from India in the west to New Guinea and Australia in the southeast and to Japan and Korea in the northeast (Lavarack et al., 2000; Pridgeon et al., 2014). In the latest critical revision of the Thai material, 53 species were accepted in groups currently referred to sect. Dendrobium. Thus, Seidenfaden (1985) accepted 36 species in sect. Dendrobium s.s., nine species in sect. Callista and eight in sect. Breviflores; the two latter infrageneric taxa, however, are now included in sect. Dendrobium (Pridgeon et al., 2014).

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Dendrobium chrysocrepis (Orchidaceae)

“…It is similar to D. moschatum (Buch.-Ham.) Sw., but can be easily distinguished by having solitary flowers with spoon-like lip which are borne on the flat compressed stem (Jin and Li 2006;Phueakkhlai et al 2018). The last records came from Thailand (Phueakkhlai et al 2018) and China (Yunnan) (Jin and Li 2006;Li et al 2009).…”

“…Sw., but can be easily distinguished by having solitary flowers with spoon-like lip which are borne on the flat compressed stem (Jin and Li 2006;Phueakkhlai et al 2018). The last records came from Thailand (Phueakkhlai et al 2018) and China (Yunnan) (Jin and Li 2006;Li et al 2009). Considering that cp genome played an important role in revealing the origin of the evolution and phylogeny of Dendrobium (Pan et al 2019;Wang et al 2020), the complete cp genome of D. chrysocrepis was assembled in this paper.…”
