FINDS BUT Three
NATIVE ORCHIDS

The orchids of the Hawaiian Islands
are described in a recent issue of the
Plant World by Vaughan MacCaughey
of the College of Hawaii. He states
that the popular impression that tropi-
cal islands are leritable conservator
ies of choice and beautiful orchids re-
ceiyes a shock in Hawaii. There are
only three orchids in the Hawaiian
woodlands, and these are inconspicu-
Gus and by no means abundant.
One species is restricted 10 the rare
ly visited summit boys The other two,
although occurring in the lower humid
forests, would easily pass unnoticed
by any save the professional botanist.
Since the first explorations of the Ha
waiian forests, botanists have repeat
eddy commented uron the paucity and
insignificance OF the orchid flora.
Recent geological studies of the
Hawaiian Archipelago are placing
great emphasis upon the antiquity of
this island group. There is much eyi.
dence to substantiate the view that
the present islands are but the rem
nants of once vastly larger land area
that has almost wholly subsidized be-
meath the ocean. This is in accord
with the evidence obtained from many
other parts of the great Pacific region.
1t is entirely possible that the Hawai-,
ian region was isolated through sub
mergence long before the final burst
of orchid migration anC specialization
in Malaga and the South Pacific.
The habitats anG flowers OF the
three native species are described IN
detail. OF one species Professor Mac
Caughey says: THE Gull green floral
spike is disapHointingly mediocre to
anyone who is familiar with the beau.
tiful fringed orchids of the northeast
ern states" The Hawaiian Twayblade,
I.iparis, is described as growing chief.
T ly on the horizontal messy branches OF
/ the old trees, and IL humus-filled
crotches, and occasionally on messy
ground in the rain forest. In. such
situations It grows not. in the soil
proper but in the derse veGetatiEe COW

and lesser ferris. p. -.
Hawaii has many beautiful flowers,
but among these the orchids make a
poor showing, when compared WITH
the wealth Of orchid Eloom i'll other
tropic isles. ~-... ...
