“…species is identified based on the undulation of its leaf blade, alongside gynostemium features. This property is quoted in nearly every artificial key for determining this group of orchids, e.g., Sundermann ( 1975 ), Procházka & Velísek ( 1983 ), Potůček & Čačko ( 1996 ) and Delforge ( 2006 ). However, it has been shown by Jakubska-Busse & Gola ( 2014 ) that the leaf undulation in Helleborines does not have any diagnostic value as a non-programmed intrinsic feature and should not be applied to taxa identification.…”

Static properties of leaves with parallel venation, with particular emphasis on the genus EpipactisZinn, 1757 (Orchidaceae, Neottieae) have been modelled with coupled quasi-parallel elastic “beams.” The non-linear theory of strongly bended beams have been employed. The resulting boundary-value problem has been solved numerically with the help of the finite-difference method. Possible dislocations resulting in additional Dirac-delta like forces have been take into account. Morphological similarity of the model and real leaves has been obtained. In particular, the concentrated forces have been shown to cause undulation in the leaves.

“…Nevertheless, it is often the case that a policy is implemented but not fully followed through as intended, such that the intended results are not achieved (Potůček, 2018). As with policy responses, different stakeholders offer speci c objections to these paths as well as standards used to judge them ( Van et al, 2020).…”

Background: The Chinese government has stated its ambitions to promote a green housing (GH) transition through the articulation and implementation of policies and regulations. However, this state-led GH transition is not straightforward since market responses will greatly influence the extent to which policies are implemented. This research provides a rare perspective on the investigations of the governance capacities of China’s state-led GH transition by exploring how key market actors have responded to the new “rules” in the housing sector. Results: The research gathers primary data from open-ended interviews with eighteen representatives from both state-owned and private real estate enterprises. A range of institutional constraints in relation of China’s GH transition has been found and discussed through the “three levels of institution” analytical framework. These constraints included “state power in decision-making”, “lack of public participation”, “lack of long-term monitoring”, “strong control over land resources” and “High frequency but low efficiency of current GH policies”. Conclusions: Some special applications have been addressed by this research. It has explored the GH transition in the Chinese institutional context by setting out a reflective critique from the market-side perspective. First, it attends to the research gap in which market voices have been overlooked in GH research, while contributing to knowledge in the GH literature in non-liberal contexts. Secondly, through a case study of the GH transition in China, this research has shed light on the application of the NI theory. Moreover, it has assessed how real estate enterprises’ capacity is constrained or enabled by institutional conditions. It, in turn, reflects the institutional characteristics in the governance of GH in China and the institutional capacities of the Chinese government in relation to its environmental governance efforts.

“…The main source of this variability, referred to the phenotypic plasticity, is manifested in natural populations of many Epipactis species through the slight differences observed in the vegetative (e.g., shoots and leaves) and generative (i.e., flowers and their separate elements) parts of the individual plants [ 4 , 15 , 40 , 41 , 42 ]. This broad spectrum of morphological variation also provided a wide range of characters that delimitate and group the species within the genus Epipactis over the past few decades (e.g., [ 14 , 17 , 21 , 23 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 ]). As a consequence, a large number of morphologically similar species and infraspecific taxa (i.e., subspecies, varieties, or forms), usually of local or narrowly restricted occurrence, have been described within Epipactis [ 17 , 23 , 31 , 55 ].…”

The Epipactis helleborine (L.) Crantz group is one of the most taxonomically challenging species complexes within the genus Epipactis. Because of the exceptionally high levels of morphological variability and the ability to readily cross with other species, ninety different taxa at various taxonomic ranks have already been described within its nominative subspecies, but the taxonomic status of most of them is uncertain, widely disputed, and sometimes even irrelevant. The present review is based on results of the most recent research devoted to the E. helleborine group taxonomy. In addition, we analysed data about taxa belonging to this group presented in some research articles and monographs devoted directly to the genus Epipactis or to orchids in certain area(s). Based on the reviewed literature and data collected in four taxonomic databases available online, we propose an updated list of the 10 currently accepted taxa in the E. helleborine group (two species, six subspecies, and two varieties), which includes E. helleborine (L.) Crantz subsp. helleborine; E. helleborine subsp. bithynica (Robatsch) Kreutz, E. helleborine subsp. distans (Arv.-Touv.) R.Engel and P.Quentin; E. helleborine subsp. neerlandica (Verm.) Buttler; E. helleborine var. tangutica (Schltr.) S.C.Chen and G.H.Zhu; E. helleborine subsp. tremolsii (Pau) E.Klein; E. helleborine subsp. voethii (Robatsch) Jakubska-Busse, Żołubak, and Łobas, stat. nov.; E. condensata Boiss. ex D.P.Young, E. condensata var. kuenkeleana (Akhalk., H.Baumann, R.Lorenz, and Mosul.) Popovich; and E. cupaniana C.Brullo, D’Emerico, and Pulv.
