''Epidendrum nocturnum'' (the "Nocturnal Epidendrum") is the type species of the genus ''Epidendrum'' of the Orchidaceae (Orchid family). The species occurs in Florida, Bahamas, West Indies, Central America to northern Brazil and the Guyanas. ''Epidendrum nocturnum'' is common in South Florida. It is usually autogamous (flowers self-pollinate) and sometimes cleistogamous (flowers self-pollinate before they open). The haploid chromosome number of ''E. nocturnum'' has been determined as ''n'' = 20. The diploid chromosome number has been determined both as 2''n'' = 40 and as 2''n'' = 80〔page 252 of Leonardo P. Felix and Marcelo Guerra: "Variation in chromosome number and the basic number of subfamily Epidendroideae (Orchidaceae)" ''Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society'' 163(2010)234-278. The Linnean Society of London. downloaded October 2010 from http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1095-8339.2010.01059.x/pdf〕 In 1984, the variety ''E. nocturnum'' var. ''guadeloupense'' was determined to have a diploid chromosome number of 2''n'' = 42—48. On November 7, 2010, Kew did not recognize the existence of this variety in its World Checklist of Selected Plant Families. == See also == *Bahamian dry forests 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Epidendrum nocturnum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
