Comparative labellum micromorphology of the sexually deceptive temperate orchid genus Ophrys: diverse epidermal cell types and multiple origins of structural colour

2010-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Labellum micromorphology was imaged via scanning electron and light microscopy in 32 microspecies and one artificial hybrid of the European terrestrial orchid genus Ophrys, together representing all ten macrospecies circumscribed in the genus via molecular phylogenetics. Imaging of homologous regions of the adaxial surface, paying particular attention to the diagnostic feature of the comparatively reflective specu...
