[Descriptions of orchid genera] [manuscript], 1880-1908. Manuscript 11

ReadAboutContentsHelp
Manuscript orchid diagnoses, letters, original botanical sketches, chromolithograph botanical prints, off-prints of journal articles, and leaves of printed texts, dated between 1880 and 1908, compiled by Friedrich ("Fritz") Kranzlin, in Gross Lichterfelde (Berlin),Germany, and used in preparation of his work, Orchidacearum genera et species, only 2 v. of which were published in Berlin by Meyer & Muller (v. 1 in 1901 and v. 2, pt. 1 in 1904). The bulk of the material consists of small pencil sketches or tracings of orchids on tracing paper, accompanied by Kranzlin's diagnoses, or technical descriptions in Latin of the distinguishing characteristics of the various orchid genera, following a previously-published arrangement, as evidenced by the green cloth book spines, gold-stamped with title "Orchidaceae" and vol. numbers, which are found in each bundle. There are also more detailed original drawings of orchids in pencil, or pen-and-watercolor. Accompanying Kranzlin's copious drawings and notes, are numerous prints of orchids--line-engraved and hand-colored, or chromolithographed-- by well-known botanical illustrators J.N. Fitch, Miss [Sarah Ann] Drake, and Jeanne Koch, by botanists such as Harry Bolus, and F.C. Lehmann. and by lithographers including the Belgian artist Francois Stroobant, and printed by George Barclay, Emil Laue, L. Snelling, and C.F. Schmidt. Many of these prints have been taken from botanical periodicals such as "The garden", "L'orchidophile", and "Gartenflora". There are also printed leaves from botanical texts, horticultural society proceedings, and periodicals such as "The gardeners' chronicle", and offprints of articles on orchids by Kranzlin and other botanists which appeared in journals including "Queensland agricultural journal", "Garten-Zeitung", and "Gartenflora".

Flora 1867.

Reichenbach Novitiae quaedam Africanae p. 115 & ff.

Ad 1 & 2 Huttonaea Rchb. F.

Sepalu dorsale & tepala unguiculata apice cucullata basi in ungue conata. Tep. lateralia majora libera. Lab. flabellatu ecalcaratu liberu. Antherae loculi primu subparalleli dein divergentes. Glandulae nudae. Stigmatis fovea plana non limbata rostelli limbo omnino depresso.

Reichenbach führt dann aus, dass die Divergenz der Antherenfächer bei Huttonaea (& Hallackia) lediglich vom Alter der Blüthen abhange.

1. Huttonaea pulchra Harv. Thes. cap II, 1 t. 101. Caule erecto 2phyllo foliis supra vagina petiolatis cordato - ovatis acutis racemo plurifloro, bracteis triangulis acutis ovaria non aequantibus, sepalo sumo cuneato ovato obtuse acuto, tepal. unguiculatis apice saccato crenulatis-fissis, margine externo ciliatolasero, labell. cuneato ovato lacerofimbriato.

Ich habe "pulchra" anders als Harvey Er zeichnet freie Nägel der Tepala & umgiebt den ganzen Saum der Kappe [crossed out: mit] der Sepala mit Fransen, endlich ertheilt er dieser Kappe eine runde eingeschlagene Öffnung. Ich sehe die Nägel der Tepala völlig verwachsen mit dem Nagel des unpaaren Sepalums; ferner die Kappe der Tepala ganz aufgeschlitzt ohne umgeschlagenen Saum & nur am Aussenrand gefranzt [gefranst]. Wer das Bild Harveys gesehen hat, ohne Originale aus seiner Hand zu vergleichen, musste selbstverständlich eine neue Art aufstellen.

2. Huttonaea fimbriata Rchb. F. Caule erecto diphyllo, foliis cordato- oblongis acutis sessilibus, racemo plurifloro, bracteis triangulis acutis ovaria non [crossed out: aequantibus] attingentibus, sepalo sumo cuneato ovato acuto limbo minuto denticulato, tepalis

unguiculatus galeatis fissis, limbo externo ciliatis, sepalis cuneato rhombeo ovatis obtuse acutis inaequalibus obscure denticulatis, labello cuneato ovato obtuso antici ciliato fimbriato.

Auch hier war ich in der unangenehmen Lage, Harveys Darstellung Thesaur. II 102 utriert [utirt] zu finden. Die Tepala sehe ich wiederum ganz anders.
