Description

edit

Vegetative characteristics

edit

The perennial plants with bulbs[6] produce 5-7 linear leaves[7] with a prominent mid vein,[8] which form a pseudo-stem of up to 30 cm in length. Each leaf may reach lengths of up to 50 cm and widths of 2–4 cm.[6]

Generative characteristics

The bisexual, radially symmetrical flowers are intensely fragrant.[9][10][6] They resemble the flowers of Pancratium.[11][3] They are produced in groups of 2-4 flowers, which have a 12–25 cm long perianth tube with three nectariferous channels. These features could suggest moth pollination. The pedicel is 1.5–3 cm long. With 8 cm of length, the outer tepals are slightly longer than the 7 cm long staminal cup.[8] The incurved stamens with dorsifixed anthers are inserted in deep notches of the staminal cup, or corona.[6]

Reproduction

edit

Generative reproduction

edit

Pamianthe is presumed to be moth pollinated based on their floral morphology.[12] Specifically sphingid moths come into question.[8] The plant is self compatible. The fruit takes 12–15 months to mature.[11][6][10] Rapid germination occurs under humid conditions at 16-21 °C.[13][6] Seedlings reach maturity within four to five years.[11][14]

Vegetative reproduction

edit

Pamianthe peruviana can also reprocuce asexually through stolons.[15][16]

Cytology

edit

The diploid chromosome count of Pamianthe is 2n = 46.[17][18]

Etymology

edit

The generic name Pamianthe refers to Major Albert Pam.[19][20][8][21] The specific epithet peruviana references this species origin in Peru.

History

edit

Pam discovered the species in 1926 on a bulb collecting expedition in Peru.[20] Other sources state he received bulbs from Peru in 1928.[16][8] Pam, who introduced the species to horticulture, was a friend of the horticulturalist Edward Augustus Bowles (1865 - 1954),[21][19] to whom he gave a Pamianthe peruviana specimen in the 1930s.[22] He also donated Pamianthe peruviana to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in 1937.[23]

Habitat

edit

It was found along streams in the warm to temperate northern region of Peru at elevations of 1800 m above sea level.[24][25]

Taxonomy

edit

Taxon authorship

edit

There is conflicting information on the taxon authorship of this species. One source claims it to be anonymous,[26] whereas most give Otto Stapf as the taxon author. The type specimen, which was cultivated by Albert Pam in the United Kingdom, is associated with Stapf as the taxon author.[27]

Role as type species

edit

Pamianthe peruviana is the type species of the genus Pamianthe.[8]

Synonym status of Pamianthe cardenasii

edit

Despite being the same taxon,[2][8] it has been reported that Pamianthe cardenasii were a bulbous geophyte, and Pamianthe peruviana were an epiphyte.[28]

Phylogeny

edit

Some degree of possible hybridization was identified between Pamianthe peruviana and Pamianthe ecollis. According to a molecular clock analysis, both species shared a common ancestor 18.22 million years ago. This means Pamianthe peruviana diverged in the early Miocene.[1]

Conservation

edit

It is presumed to be extinct in the wild.[29][30][31] It is not known when it was last recorded.[32] According to the Cambridge Botanic Garden the conservation status has not been evaluated.[33] Under its synonym Pamianthe cardenasii Traub it has also been classified as not evaluated by the national herbarium of Bolivia in 2005.[34]

Ex-situ conservation is ensured in several living collections, such as the living collection of the Gothenburg Botanical Garden, the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh Living Plant Collections,[35] the Oxford Botanic Garden,[4] as well as private collections.

Horticulture

edit

Despite it being very rare in cultivation,[36] it can be easily cultivated as a houseplant if kept in a well aerated substrate,[37] because it is intolerant of waterlogged conditions, which rapidly induce root rot.[11] Ideally, it should be cultivated under moderately bright, humid conditions at temperatures of 18-30 °C.[36] Seeds can be sown all year round. The optimal time is March–August. The remaining months are less optimal. The germination temperature should not be below 20 °C.[38] Pamianthe makes a good greenhouse or container display.[39] It is also suitable as a long-lasting cut flower.[16]
