Anggrek

The ethnic group orchid-anggrekan or Orchidaceae was one blossoming plants ethnic group with the most kind member. His kinds were spread the area from the area of the wet tropics to the territory sirkumpolar, although most of his members were found in the area of the tropics. Most of the ethnic group's members lived as the epiphyte, especially that came from the area of the tropics. The orchid in the area have a climate usually lived in the land and formed the roots as the adapting method towards the cold season. His organs that tended thick and "plump" (sukulen) made him kept faced the availability pressure of water. The epiphyte orchid could live from dew and humid air. The importance member who was known to be good humankind was the orchid decorated as well as vanilla.
The characteristics of botany
The characteristics of this botany of the ethnic group's Member tended to have the organs that sukulen or "plump": thick with the content of high water. Therefore he could live in the condition for the availability of low water. Water was received from rain, the drop, dew, or steam in air. Nevertheless, the orchid was not found in the area of the desert because perakaran him was not intensive. The orchid liked the sunlight but indirectly so as he is normally found in the wild as floor plants of the forest or under the auspices of. As decorative plants, the orchid kept in space.
The fibre root, not in. Epiphyte kinds that is developing the root sukulen and adhered to his place tree trunk tumbuh,namun did not damage the foster-mother's tree. There were also those who grew geofitis,dengan the other term terrestria meaning that growing in the land with roots in the land. There is also that was saprofit, grew to the dry media and rotten woods of the leaves that rotted to humus. To the surface of the root often was found the root fungus (mikoriza) that bersimbiosis with the orchid.
The stick of the orchid beruas-part. The orchid that lived in the land (the land orchid) his stick was short and tended to resemble the roots. In the meantime, his orchid of the stick epiphyte grew good, often thickened and protected the layer of the candle to prevent evaporation being abundant. The growth of the stick could be "memanjang" (monopodial) or "widened" (simpodial), depended his genus. The orchid leaves are usually oval memanjang with leaves bones memanjang also, typical the leaves monokotil. The leaves could also thicken and function as penyimpan water.
The orchid have the shape of typical and to penciri that distinguished him from the ethnic group's other member. Orchids were compiled compound, emerged from the stem of the flower that memanjang, emerged from the leaves armpit. His flower bilateral symmetry. The sheet of the flower Sheath (sepal) usually coloured resembled the flower crown (so as to be mentioned tepal). One sheet of the flower crown was modified formed a kind of "tongue" that protected a structure of accessories that brought the stamen and putik. The stamen had the stem was very short with two heads of the main point had the shape of the small disc (was mentioned "pollinia") and most protected by the small structure that must be opened by insects penyerbuk (or humankind for vanilla) and brought pollen to the mouth putik. Without help of the organism penyerbuk, pollination will not happen.
The orchid had the shape of the coloured capsule green and if cooked dried up and be open from alongside. His seed was very small and light, so as to be easy to be brought the wind. The orchid seed did not have the network penyimpan the food reserve; in fact his embryo did not yet achieve the perfect maturity. The germination just happened if the seed fell for the appropriate medium and continued his development through to the maturity.
