Phytelephas aequatorialis

The palm tree Phytelephas aequatorialis, commonly known as Ecuadorian ivory palm, is the main source of Ecuadorean vegetable ivory or tagua, a botanical alternative to ivory. It is found in the tropical rainforests of the western Andean slopes of Ecuador. It has a woody trunk which can grow to 20 m in height and very long pinnate leaves.
The plants are dioecious, with the female individuals bearing large brown conical fruits, each approximately the size of a grapefruit (but occasionally up to fourteen inches (36 centimeters) in diameter and weighing up to 42 pounds (19 kilograms) and covered in a horned husk, containing usually four seeds. Immature seeds contain sweet edible pulp. Mature seeds are harder than wood and are encased in a bonelike shell. The endosperm is a white hemicellulose material that is so hard it can be polished and carved like ivory. The male flowers are in a catkin, and each flower has as many as 1,000 stamens, the greatest number in any monocot. The plant's genus name Phytelephas means "elephant plant". Three other species in this genus are sources of vegetable ivory as well.
The edible immature seeds are often dispersed by rainforest rodents such as agoutis. In some rural areas the trees are used to attract rodents, which are then captured for their meat.
Animals that feed on the fleshy mesocarp of the palm's fruit include squirrels (Sciurus aestuans), agoutis (Dasyprocta spp.), deer (Odocoileus virginianus), opossums (Marmosa spp.), porcupines (Coendou spp.), and Cuniculus paca.
The palms are occasionally cultivated as a cash crop. International conservation organizations pay farmers for vegetable ivory in hopes that interest in the product will lead to resources being allotted for the protection of rainforests and the preservation of its flora.
Due to its commercial usefulness, the trees were usually preserved when rainforest was cleared for agricultural use.

Soured milk

Soured milk denotes a range of food products produced by the acidification of milk. Acidification, which gives the milk a tart taste and unpleasant smell, is achieved either through bacterial fermentation or through the addition of an acid, such as lemon juice or vinegar. The acid causes milk to coagulate and thicken, inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria and improving the product's shelf life.
Soured milk that is produced by fermentation is more specifically called fermented milk or cultured milk. Traditionally, soured milk was simply fresh milk that was left to ferment and sour by keeping it in a warm place for a day, often near a stove. Modern commercial soured milk may differ from milk that has become sour naturally.
Soured milk that is produced by the addition of an acid, with or without the addition of microbial organisms, is more specifically called acidified milk. In the United States, acids used to manufacture acidified milk include acetic acid (commonly found in vinegar), adipic acid, citric acid (commonly found in lemon juice), fumaric acid, glucono-delta-lactone, hydrochloric acid, lactic acid, malic acid, phosphoric acid, succinic acid, and tartaric acid.
Soured milk is commonly made at home or is sold and consumed in Eastern Europe, the Balkans, the Baltic states and Scandinavia.
It is also made at home or sold in supermarkets and consumed in the Great Lakes region of Somalia and Eastern Africa (Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and Tanzania). It is also a traditional food of the Bantu people of Southern Africa.
Since the 1970s, some producers have used chemical acidification in place of biological agents.
Raw milk that has not gone sour is sometimes referred to as "sweet milk", because it contains the sugar lactose. Fermentation converts the lactose to lactic acid, which has a sour flavor. Before the invention of refrigeration, raw milk commonly became sour before it could be consumed, and various recipes incorporate such leftover milk as an ingredient. Sour milk produced by fermentation differs in flavor from that produced by acidification, because the acids commonly added in commercial manufacture have different flavors from lactic acid, and also because fermentation can introduce new flavors. Buttermilk is a common modern substitute for naturally soured milk.

Bunga tasbih

Bunga tasbih adalah tanaman yang tergolong tanaman luar dengan nama latin Canna lily. Tanaman ini biasanya tumbuh di hutan dan pegunungan walau tak jarang dijadikan tanaman hias di pekarangan dan taman kota, karena memiliki bunga yang mempesona. Dan ternyata dibalik pesona aneka warnanya bunga kana memiliki daya penyembuhan yang luarrr biasa. Bunga kana atau bunga tasbih berasal dari daerah tropis benua Amerika. Tumbuhan ini mampu hidup di dataran rendah hingga ketinggian 1.000 m di atas permukaan laut. Tumbuhan ini tumbuh besar, tegak, dengan tinggi mencapai dua meter. Tanaman ini memiliki rimpang tebal menyerupai ubi. Daunnya besar dan lebar, menyirip jelas. Warnanya hijau atau merah tengguli. Bunganya besar dengan warna-warna cerah, seperti merah, merah muda, dan kuning yang tersusun dalam bentuk tandan.
Untuk memperbanyak Kana, cukup mencabut gerombolan Kana (mereka tumbuhnya suka bergerombol), kemudian pisahkan bonggolnya dan bisa langsung tanam ditempat yang baru. Biasanya rendam dulu dua atau tiga hari di ember yang diisi air hingga mencapai batasan di atas umbinya (rhizomes), baru dipindahkan . Bunga Kana menyukai sinar matahari dan tanah yang lembap kearah basah. Di Indonesia, Kana ditanam sebagai tanaman air di dalam kolam. Kana di Australia tahan terhadap udara panas yang kadang kadang cukup ekstrem, tetapi tidak menyukai udara dingin sama sekali. Juga siput (snail) adalah musuh utama Kana karena mereka suka memakan daunnya. Keindahan bunga Canna ini telah membawa kepada banyak jenis kacukan atau hybrids dan kultivar yang amat susah hendak menentukan nama atau spesiesnya.
Tanaman ini di Australia dikenal sebagai penghasil tepung. Rasa rimpang yang manis dan bersifat sejuk menjadikan umbinya sebagai penyejuk, pereda demam, peluruh kencing, penenang dan menurunkan tekanan darah. Sedangkan bunganya bersifat hemostatis. Sedangkan daunnya mengandung tannin dan sulfur. Dan menurut Yellia Mangan seorang herbalis di Jakarta rimpang bunga tasbeh ini lebih baik daripada daun sirih untuk menghilangkan keputihan.
Anggrek bulan

Anggrek Bulan (Phalaenopsis amabilis) atau Puspa Pesona adalah salah satu bunga nasional Indonesia. Pertama kali ditemukan oleh seorang ahli botani Belanda, Dr. C.L. Blume.
Tanaman anggrek ini tersebar luas mulai dari Malaysia, Indonesia, Filipina, Papua, hingga ke Australia. Cara hidupnya secara epifit dengan menempel pada batang atau cabang pohon di hutan-hutan, bahkan bisa juga dijumpai di pohon-pohon pekarangan rumah. Anggrek ini tumbuh subur hingga 600 meter di atas permukaan laut.
Anggrek Bulan termasuk dalam tanaman anggrek monopodial yang menyukai sedikit cahaya matahari sebagai penunjang hidupnya. Daunnya berwarna hijau dengan bentuk memanjang. Akar-akarnya berwarna putih dan berbentuk bulat memanjang serta terasa berdaging. Bunganya sedikit beraroma harum. Umumnya bunganya bewarna putih, berukuran sedang.
Anggrek Bulan memiliki waktu mekar yang cukup lama, serta dapat tumbuh hingga diameter 10 cm lebih. Anggrek bulan menjadi bibit utama silangan anggrek di dunia.
Anggrek Bulan memiliki peluang besar untuk dibudidayakan, karena mempunyai nilai ekonomi yang tinggi. Banyak orang menyukai Anggrek Bulan karena bentuk bunganya yang sederhana, namun anggun dan kharismatik.
Menurut Jasmine Adiba Zakiah Zahra dkk, salah satu masalah budidaya Anggrek Bulan adalah ketersedian benih yang seragam dan berkualitas masih terbatas. "Padahal kebutuhan pasar adalah permintaan terhadap bibit Anggrek Bulan yang berkualitas dan dalam jumlah besar," ujarnya.
Masalah bibit yang kurang tersedia, antara lain disebabkan sampai saat ini pembibitan Anggrek Bulan masih dengan metode perbanyakan konvensional. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan metode perbanyakan yang tepat, efisien dan cepat seperti kultur jaringan yang dapat menghasilkan bibit yang seragam dalam jumlah banyak.
Flora

Flora, dari bahasa Latin, alam tumbuhan atau nabatah adalah khazanah segala macam jenis tanaman atau tumbuhan. Biasanya ditulis di depan nama geografis. Misalnya, nabatah Jawa, nabatah Asia atau nabatah Australia.
Untuk hewan hal ini disebut fauna/alam hewan. Alam tumbuhan dan hewan berarti semua khazanah kehidupan tanpa mikrob.
Flora, fauna dan bentuk-bentuk kehidupan yang lain semisal fungi, semuanya dikelompokkan sebagai biota. Pada sisi yang lain, kelompok-kelompok bakteria, alga, dan beberapa macam jasad renik yang lain, juga acap disebut flora; sehingga dikenal adanya flora bakteria, flora alga, flora pohon dan lain-lain.
Flora berbeda, namun sering dikelirukan, dengan vegetasi; di mana flora secara ringkas berisi (daftar) kekayaan jenis tetumbuhan, sedangkan vegetasi berarti kelompok-kelompok tetumbuhan yang berinteraksi membentuk suatu komunitas tertentu (misalnya hutan, sabana, padang rumput, dan lain-lain).
Perkataan "flora" berasal dari bahasa Latin, yakni diambil dari Flora, nama seorang dewi pelindung bunga dan taman serta dewi kesuburan dalam Mitologi Romawi.
Pengelompokan tetumbuhan ke dalam flora biasanya didasarkan pada wilayah, perioda, lingkungan tertentu, atau iklim. Wilayah-wilayah yang berbeda secara geografis, misalnya pegunungan dibandingkan dataran, biasa memiliki flora yang berbeda. Flora juga bisa merujuk ke perioda waktu tertentu; flora fosil, misalnya, memuat jenis-jenis tetumbuhan yang didapati dalam bentuk fosil dari kurun waktu sejarah yang tertentu. Flora yang lain, didefinisikan berdasarkan lingkungan, keadaan atau sifat yang khusus. Misalnya:
Flora yang berada di suatu wilayah atau perioda waktu tertentu biasa didokumentasi dan diterbitkan dalam suatu publikasi atau serial publikasi yang disebut Flora; pemberian huruf besar (kapitalisasi) di awal kata adalah untuk membedakan kedua pengertian itu. Sebagai contoh, Flora of Java Backer berisikan pertelaan aneka jenis flora yang hidup di Pulau Jawa. Sementara serial Flora Malesiana diterbitkan semenjak tahun 1950 oleh Nationaal Herbarium Nederland, mencakup seri Tumbuhan Berbiji dan Tumbuhan Paku yang menjadi kekayaan Kawasan Malesia.
Selain daftar jenis-jenis tetumbuhan, Flora biasanya memuat pemerian setiap jenisnya, ilustrasinya (jika ada), dan kunci dikotomi untuk mencandra (mengenali) jenis-jenis tersebut. Juga lain-lain informasi yang dianggap penting dan terkait erat dengan keberadaan jenis tersebut di wilayah yang dipertelakan.
Beberapa jenis Flora yang lain memiliki cakupan yang lebih terbatas. The Mountain Flora of Java (kini diterjemahkan sebagai Flora Pegunungan Jawa), yang diterbitkan pertama kali pada 1972, membahas aneka jenis tumbuhan yang menghuni wilayah-wilayah pegunungan Pulau Jawa. Akan tetapi di samping itu, buku ini juga membahas aneka aspek ekologi vegetasi yang melingkungi kekayaan flora tersebut. Buku yang lebih sederhana, Flora, untuk sekolah di Indonesia, diterjemahkan dari sebuah schoolflora berbahasa Belanda dan diperuntukkan bagi para pelajar; karena itu, meskipun tidak lengkap, buku ini cukup akurat untuk mencandra.
Beberapa terbitan Flora klasik, di antaranya:

Pecteilis radiata

Pecteilis radiata (syn. Habenaria radiata) is a species of orchid found in China, Japan, Korea and Russia. It is commonly known as the white egret flower, fringed orchid or sagisō (鷺草). Pecteilis radiata grows with small tubers, from which grasslike leaves emerge. Flower spikes, which can be up to 50 cm tall, produce 2-3 white flowers that bloom in late summer. It is not to be confused with the white fringed orchid Platanthera praeclara, which is a North American species. Pecteilis radiata is the official flower of Setagaya ward, Tokyo.
Arundina

Arundina graminifolia is a species of orchid and the sole accepted species of the genus Arundina. This tropical Asiatic genus extends from Myanmar, India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Thailand, Vietnam, the Ryukyu Islands, Malaysia, Singapore, China to Indonesia, the Philippines and New Guinea. It has become naturalized in Réunion, Fiji, French Polynesia, Micronesia, the West Indies, Costa Rica, Panama, Belize, and Hawaii. It is also called bamboo orchid.
Arundina graminifolia is a terrestrial, perennial orchid with reedy stems, forming into large clumps growing to a height between 70 cm and 2 m.
The plaited linear leaves are oblong lanceolate, with a length of 9 to 19 cm and a width of 0.8 to 1.5 cm. The apex is acuminate. There are amplexicaul (clasping the stem) sheathing stipules.
This orchid blooms in summer and autumn, showing rather open clusters of showy terminal flowers, ten at the most. They bloom in succession on the terminal racemes,which are 7 to 16 cm long. These flowers, 5–8 cm in diameter, are a rosy lilac and white disc with a purple lip. The bracts are broadly triangular and surround the main stalk of the flower cluster. The occasional fertilized seed pods contain minute powdery seeds, and small plants often develop near the cane ends after flowering, which likely aid in propagation if allowed to reach the soil.
At one point in time only 200 of the plants were recorded growing naturally in Singapore, rendering the species close to extinction. This was due to the destruction of its natural habitat, namely the rainforests and mangrove forests. However, through replanting efforts by NParks, the species is now listed as a "common" cultivated plant. In Malaysia A. graminifolia is commonly called tapah and can be found in secondary forests or at forest fringes. It is very common in road cuts and other disturbed areas in full sun in Sarawak, where it is often the most common flowering plant seen along the roadsides.
It is invasive on the big island of Hawaii and common there in mid-mountain areas.
Two varieties are currently recognized (May 2014):
Rhynchostylis retusa

Rhynchostylis retusa (also called foxtail orchid) is an orchid belonging to the Vanda alliance. The inflorescence is a pendant raceme, consisting of more than 100 pink-spotted white flowers. The plant has a short, stout, creeping stem carrying up to 12, curved, fleshy, deeply channeled, keeled, retuse apically leaves and blooms on an axillary pendant to 60 cm (24 in) long, racemose, densely flowered, cylindrical inflorescence that occurs in the winter and early spring.
The plant is an epiphyte growing on tree trunks in open forests or at forest margins at elevations of 300–1,500 m (980–4,920 ft). It can be found in Bhutan, Cambodia, China (Guizhou, Yunnan), India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam.
In India, the plant is most common in the Northeast, Odisha and Andhra Pradesh. In Andhra Pradesh, the plant is called by Telugu name Chintaranamu. Due to bio-piracy, the plant is on the verge of extinction in India. Rhynchostylis retusa is recognized as the state flower of Arunachal Pradesh and Assam in India, as well as the provincial flower of Uva Province in Sri Lanka.
The plant requires regular watering and applications of fertilizer throughout the year, although it will die if the leaves are wet frequently. It prefers indirect light. Flowering usually occurs in late spring.
In Malabar District various preparations of the plant were used against asthma and tuberculosis and for 'nervous twitchings' (referable possibly to tic disorder), cramp, epileptic spasms, vertigo, palpitations, kidney stone and menstrual disorder. The plant has also been used in Assam to treat wounds, cuts and bruises. The plant has been used as an emollient in India and Nepal. Under the name of rasna the root is used to treat rheumatism throughout the Indian subcontinent.
The species is the state flower of Assam, where it is popularly known as kopou phool (Assamese: কপৌ ফুল), and is an integral part of a Bihu dancer's attire. The plant is considered to be a symbol of love, fertility and merriment, and is popular in Assamese wedding ceremonies.
Ludisia

Ludisia (Lus.) is a genus of orchids that was thought to contain just one species, Ludisia discolor, commonly referred to as jewel orchid. A second species, Ludisia ravanii, from the Philippines, was described in 2013. Ludisia discolor is native to Southern China, Northeast India, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia and Myanmar, and often cultivated.
They are terrestrial orchids that in their natural setting would be found growing on the forest floor. They are known for their foliage, which is often velvety deep maroon with red veins that run parallel to the centre of the leaf.
Flowers are white with twisting yellow columns. Individual flowers are small but grow in clusters on upright stalks. Flowers in cultivation last a month or more.
They need high humidity and warm temperatures with low to medium light, and they tolerate extremely low light levels.
Like many species today, Ludisia discolor and other species of terrestrial orchids face threats due to climate change and other environmental factors. Studies today that aim to understand more about how orchid species could be cultivated include micropropagation. When micropropagating Ludisia discolor in varying environments, they found that the plant was able to adapt to the environment while maintaining 99% genetic similarity with the parent plant. Now that scientists are able to control the genetic diversity of a plant in varying conditions, it will be beneficial in improving the species’ population numbers.
Apart from climate change and similar environmental factors, the species is currently facing threats of Fusarium oxysporum, which manifests as a stem rot, affecting the flowering of species of orchids.
Ludisia discolor has two notable cultivars:
Hybrids of Ludisia with other orchid genera are placed in the following nothogenera:
Note that these hybrids are with other genera in the subtribe Goodyerinae, all commonly referred to as jewel orchids.
(The given references are to registered primary hybrids within each given nothogenus.)
Orang bunian

In Malaysian, Bruneian and Indonesian folklore, Bunian people or Orang bunian (Indonesian pronunciation: [o.raŋ bu.ni.an]) are supernatural beings said to be invisible to most humans, except those with "spiritual sight". While the term is often translated as "elves", it literally translates to "hidden people" or "whistling people". Orang bunian are described as beautiful, dressed in ancient Southeast Asian style, and nearly identical to humans in appearance. Some mythological accounts describe the lack of a philtrum. Modern depictions of Orang bunian deviate from the traditional folklore by including elf-like features, pointed ears, high fantasy-influenced attire, or modern Minangkabau long coat clothing.
Orang bunian are said to inhabit the deep forests or high mountains in Sumatra, Borneo & Malay Peninsula, far from human contact, as well as near human communities, and are even said to share the same houses as human families. According to legend, their social structure is similar to that of humans in the ancient Malay Peninsula, with families, clans, and royalty. As with other mythical beings in Indonesian folklore, Orang bunian often have supernatural powers, and must be appeased with certain rituals and customs before humans are allowed to trespass areas which they inhabit.
Orang bunian are generally regarded as benevolent, befriending and assisting humans, particularly magicians (dukun or bomoh) and shamans (pawang). They are said to be able to intermarry with humans and bear invisible children. According to some tales, men had married Orang bunian women but later decided to leave the bunian community and return to the families they had left behind. However, after returning to human society, they found that many years had passed and everyone they once knew had died. These narratives have been compared to Urashima Taro and Rip Van Winkle.
Millet wine

Millet wine (Chinese: 小米酒; pinyin: Xiǎomǐ jiǔ) is a common wine in East and Southeast Asia. It is also the oldest wine in Taiwan and a traditional beverage of Taiwanese aborigines. It is often used in harvest festivals, as a symbol of harvest.
For aboriginal culture, millet wine is a cultural symbol. Millet wine is a key part of aboriginal rituals such as Millet Festival, Black Rice Festival, Harvest Festival and Dwarf Spiritual Sacrifice (Pas-ta'ai). Each aboriginal group in Taiwan has its own god or goddess dedicated to millet and their own name for millet wine. For example, the Atayal tribe call it “Qohozi” and the Puyuma tribe call it "Tinuerau". Libation of millet wine is believed to bring good luck and aid in avoiding evil. Every aboriginal group has developed specific millet wine drinking rites. For instance, the Paiwan tribespeople will tread the ground before drinking millet wine to show their respect to the god in charge of the mountains. On the other hand, Puyuma tribespeople of Taitung County take fresh millet wine to the beach. Priests then chant prayers toward the direction of Orchid Island to present their gratitude for their harvest.
Millet wine is made from millet, brewer's yeast and water. In traditional production, tools such as sieves, steamers, pots, pans and jars are used. Millet is immersed in cold water and left to rest during the night. The next morning, the millet is washed with care so as not to squeeze it. The common proportion is about 400 cc per pound of millet. The washed millet is steamed and then mixed with brewer's yeast and cold water which was boiled beforehand. Finally, the mix is put into a container and the opening is sealed. It is left to ferment in a cool place about one month.
Platanthera leptopetala

Platanthera leptopetala is a species of orchid known by the common names narrow-petal rein orchid, and lacy rein orchid. It is native to the west coast of the United States from Washington to California, where it grows in scrub and woodland habitat in mountains and foothills. This orchid grows erect to about 70 centimeters in maximum height from a bulbous caudex. The basal leaves are up to 15 centimeters long by 3 wide. Leaves higher on the stem are much reduced. The upper part of the stem is a spikelike inflorescence of many delicate, translucent green flowers which are sometimes fragrant in the evenings. This rein orchid has narrower petals than those of other species, giving the inflorescence a lacy look, as the common names suggest.
Caladenia subtilis

Caladenia subtilis, commonly known as the delicate spider orchid, is a species of orchid endemic to New South Wales. It has a single leaf and a single greenish to cream-coloured flower with dark red tips on the sepals.
Caladenia subtilis is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, herb with an underground tuber and a single leaf, 50–110 mm (2–4 in) long and 4–6 mm (0.2–0.2 in) wide. A single greenish to cream-coloured flower 30–50 mm (1–2 in) wide is borne on a stalk 150–220 mm (6–9 in) tall. The sepals have dark red, club-like glandular tips 6–9 mm (0.2–0.4 in) long. The dorsal sepal is erect, 25–35 mm (0.98–1.4 in) long and about 2 mm (0.08 in) wide. The lateral sepals are 25–35 mm (0.98–1.4 in) long, about 4 mm (0.2 in) wide and spread apart from each other, curving downwards. The petals are 25–35 mm (0.98–1.4 in) long, about 2 mm (0.08 in) wide and arranged like the lateral sepals. The labellum is 13–15 mm (0.5–0.6 in) long, 8–9 mm (0.3–0.4 in) wide and whitish with a dark red, downcurved tip. The sides of the labellum have red teeth and there are four or six rows of dark red calli up to 1 mm (0.04 in) long, along the mid-line of the labellum. Flowering occurs from October to November.
Caladenia subtilis was first described in 1999 by David Jones from a specimen collected in a state forest near Nowendoc and the description was published in The Orchadian. The specific epithet (subtilis) is a Latin word meaning "fine", "delicate" or "nice".
The delicate spider orchid is only known from areas near Nowendoc and Nundle where it grows in open forest.
Dendrobium gracilicaule

Dendrobium gracilicaule, commonly known as the blotched cane orchid or yellow cane orchid, is an epiphytic or lithophytic orchid in the family Orchidaceae. It has cylindrical pseudobulbs, between three and seven thin leaves and up to thirty often drooping, cream-coloured to yellow or greenish flowers, sometimes with reddish brown blotches on the back. There are two varieties, one occurring in Queensland and New South Wales and the other on some Pacific Islands, including Lord Howe Island.
Dendrobium gracilicaule is an epiphytic or lithophytic herb that has cylindrical, yellowish green pseudobulbs 40–100 cm (20–40 in) long and 4–13 mm (0.2–0.5 in) wide, each with between three and seven leaves on the top. The leaves are thin, dark green, 70–130 mm (3–5 in) long and 20–40 mm (0.8–2 in) wide. The flowering stem is 50–150 mm (2–6 in) long and bears between five and thirty, often drooping flowers. The flowers are cream-coloured to yellow or greenish, 10–16 mm (0.39–0.63 in) long and wide, in one variety with large reddish blotches on the back. The sepals are 7–10 mm (0.3–0.4 in) long, 3–4 mm (0.12–0.16 in) wide and are relatively think and fleshy. The petals are 7–10 mm (0.3–0.4 in) long, 3–4 mm (0.1–0.2 in) wide. The labellum is 7–10 mm (0.3–0.4 in) long, 5–6 mm (0.20–0.24 in) wide and has three lobes. The side lobes curve upwards and the middle lobe is kidney-shaped and has three wavy ridges. Flowering occurs between July and September.
Dendrobium gracilicaule was first formally described in 1859 by Ferdinand von Mueller and the description was published in Fragmenta phytographiae Australiae from a specimen collected by William Hill near Moreton Bay. The specific epithet (gracilicaule) is derived from the Latin words gracilis meaning "slender" or "thin" and caulis meaning "stem" or "stalk".
There are two varieties of this orchid:

Apostasia (plant)

Apostasia, commonly known as grass orchids, is a genus of eight species of primitive orchids in the family Orchidaceae. They are terrestrial, evergreen, grass-like plants, barely recognisable as orchids and are distributed in humid areas of the Himalayan region, China, India, Sri Lanka, Southeast Asia, New Guinea, and Queensland. They have many narrow leaves and small yellow or white, non-resupinate, star-like flowers usually arranged on a branched flowering stem.
Plants in the genus Apostasia are evergreen, terrestrial, grass-like plants with a scaly rhizome with a few roots that sometimes develop tubers. They have thin stems with many long, narrow, grass-like leaves spirally arranged around them. Small yellow or white, non-resupinate flowers are arranged on a short, often branching flowering stem. The three sepals and three petals are all similar in size, shape and colour, unlike in more familiar orchids which usually have one petal modified as a labellum and often a dorsal sepal which differs from the lateral sepals. The parts of the column are also different from those in other orchids, with three instead of two stamens, which are separate from the style. Moreover, the pollen grains are not adhering to each other in pollinia.
The genus Apostasia was first formally described in 1825 by Carl Ludwig Blume who published the description in Bijdragen tot de flora van Nederlandsch Indië. The genus name Apostasia is derived from the Ancient Greek word apostasis meaning "defection" or "departure from", referring to the distinct features of this genus.
The two genera in the subfamily Apostasioideae, Apostasia and Neuwiedia, differ from most other orchids in having three stamens. Recent studies suggest that the fifteen or so species in these two genera, although exhibiting "primitive" features, are "sister" genera rather than ancestors of other orchid families.
Species in the genus Apostasia are found from north-eastern India, Nepal and Bhutan to southern Japan, and through Southeast Asia to New Guinea and northern Australia. Three species, one of which is endemic, are found in China and one is endemic to Queensland.
The following is a list of species of Apostasia recognised by the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families as at August 2018:
Lecanorchis

Lecanorchis is a genus of orchids (family Orchidaceae) belonging to the subfamily Vanilloideae.
The scientific name is derived from the Greek words lekane (basin) and orchis (orchid).
They occur in mountain forest of the Himalayas, China, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, and New Guinea at altitudes of 300–1,500 metres (980–4,920 ft).
They are terrestrial, leafless myco-heterotrophs (formerly called saprophytes). They produce numerous, long, thick, horizontal roots under a short rhizome. The erect, dark, branched or unbranched stems are thin and brittle. They bear few to many dull brown, purple, yellow or green flowers with a somewhat brighter lip. The lip is about of equal length to the sepals and is covered with dense, yellow hair.
Characteristics for this species are:
Lecanorchis is related to Clematepistephium and Eriaxis, both endemic to New Caledonia.
Species accepted as of June 2014:
A new species, Lecanorchis tabugawaensis was described in 2016.

Astronautul de la Solway Firth

Astronautul de la Solway Firth (engleză: Solway Firth Spaceman) se referă la o siluetă văzută într-o fotografie făcută în 1964 de către pompierul, fotograful și istoricul local, Jim Templeton (13 februarie 1920 - 27 noiembrie 2011). Faimoasa fotografie a fost făcută pe Burgh Marsh, cu vedere spre Solway Firth din Cumbria, Anglia. Templeton susține că fotografia prezintă în fundal o persoană purtând un costum spațial și a insistat că el nu a văzut pe nimeni de față atunci când fotografia a fost făcută. A făcut 3 poze la rând, dar doar în una apare acest astronaut. Imaginea a fost reprodusă pe scară largă în ziarele contemporane și a stârnit interesul ufologilor. Cei de la Kodak au analizat fotografia și au garantat că este reală; de asemenea, au promis că vor oferi un premiu celui care va rezolva enigma, premiu pe care nimeni nu l-a revendicat încă.
Selfie

Selfie este o fotografie autoportret, realizată digital, cel mai des pentru a fi postată pe rețele de socializare. Cuvântul (de origine engleză) selfie a fost declarat de către Oxford English Dictionary, în noiembrie 2013, ca fiind cuvântul anului.
Fotografiile etichetate ca fiind selfie au, în general, caracteristicile:
Pentru realizarea unor poze mai bune, practicanții de selfie recurg și la utilizarea de selfie stick-uri.
Amploarea „fenomenului selfie” a dus la aceea că unele persoane chiar și-au pierdut viața în timp ce încercau să-și facă selfie.
Fotograful american Robert Corneliusun pionier american în fotografie, a produs o Daghereotipie al lui însuși, care a ajuns ca una dintre primele fotografii ale unei persoane, în 1839, iar astronautul american Buzz Aldrin a făcut primul „selfie” din spațiu, în 1966.
Conform unor studii efectuate de Brigham Young University, persoanele care își fac selfie-uri în mod frecvent pot fi împărțite în trei categorii:
Ferdinand ispitit de Ariel

Ferdinand ispitit de Ariel este un tablou al lui John Everett Millais, care descrie un episod din actul I, scena a II-a din piesa lui Shakespeare Furtuna. Ea ilustrează replicile lui Ferdinand „Unde ar trebui să fie această muzică: în aer sau pe pământ?”. O ascultă pe Ariel cântând „Full fathom five thy father lies”. Ariel înlătură pălăria lui Ferdinand de pe cap, în timp ce Ferdinand ține de pălărie pentru a auzi cântecul. Ferdinand se uită direct la Ariel, dar aceasta este invizibilă pentru el.
Pictura a fost prima încercare a lui Millais în stilul prerafaelit, pe care a realizat-o la Shotover Park lângă Oxford. El i-a scris prietenului apropiat și colegului său prerafaelit, Holman Hunt, că a pictat un peisaj „ridicol de elaborat”. Referindu-se la convingerea lui Hunt în devotamentul față de detaliu, a scris „îl vei găsi foarte minuțios, dar nu suficient de aproape pentru natură. Să-l pictez așa cum ar trebui să fie ar lua o lună - așa cum este, am făcut fiecare fir de iarbă și fiecare frunză distinctă.”
A pictat chipul lui Ferdinand vazat pe un alt prerafaelit, Frederic George Stephens. Îmbrăcămintea și poza sunt derivate din Costume Historiques a lui Camille Bonnard, reprezentând costumul unui "tânăr italian " al secolului al XV-lea.
Liliecii verzi supranaturali au fost ultimele adăugiri la compoziție. Pozițiile lor grotești l-au făcut pe patronul care s-a angajat să-l cumpere inițial să renunțe, deoarece acestea au fost o deviere radicală de la figurile standard ale zânelor silfide. Ei adoptă pozițiile de „vezi, auzi, nu vorbi rău”.
Invizibilitatea lui Ariel și a liliecilor este sugerată de semifuziunea lor cu fundalul verde. Legătura cu camuflajul natural este sugerată de prezența șopârlelor verzi ascunzându-se în fața mănunchiului din partea dreaptă.
Pictura a fost cumpărată de colecționarul Richard Ellison și mai târziu a intrat în colecția lui Roger Makins, primul baron de Sherfield, care a achiziționat mai multe picturi realizate de Millais.
Criticile au fost inițial amestecate. The Athenaeum a afirmat că această pictură era „mai bună” decât controversata pictură expusă recent de Millais Christos în casa părinților săi, dar „mai lipsită de sens în concepție”. The Art Journal a identificat „o venă considerabilă a excentricității” în portretul lui Ariel, ca „un pitic verde hidos”. Times a spus că este „un exemplu deplorabil de gust pervertit”.
