Native Singaporean Orchid notes: Vanda Miss Joaquim
|
Vanda Miss Joaquim - Used in Floral 5 (Women) for Team building Perfume workshopVanda Miss Joaquim is a hybrid orchid between Papilionanthe teres and P. hookeriana. It is the national flower of Singapore and holds significant cultural importance. Despite its hybrid nature, Vanda Miss Joaquim has a limited scent profile, but its symbolic value led to efforts to extract and stabilize its fragrance.
The scent of Vanda Miss Joaquim, although subtle, has been carefully extracted to capture its essence. The extraction process aimed to preserve and enhance whatever scent it possessed. The result is a fragrance that showcases the unique characteristics of this important Singaporean flower. In addition to its olfactory qualities, Vanda Miss Joaquim contains anthocyanins, which are a type of flavonoid. These compounds exhibit antioxidant activity, which can help protect cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. The presence of anthocyanins in Vanda Miss Joaquim adds to its overall beneficial properties. Furthermore, Vanda Miss Joaquim contains coumarin class compounds, which are phenylpropanoids with three-carbon side chains attached to a phenol. Coumarins are known for their anticoagulant or antiplatelet activities. These properties suggest potential health benefits associated with Vanda Miss Joaquim, although further research is needed to fully understand the extent of these effects. Overall, Vanda Miss Joaquim is not primarily valued for its scent but for its cultural significance as the national flower of Singapore. Efforts have been made to extract and stabilize its fragrance, allowing it to be incorporated into perfumes and workshops such as Floral 5 for team building. The presence of anthocyanins and coumarin class compounds adds to the orchid's allure and potential health benefits. |

Eulophia spectabilis (Dennst.) Suresh
Chinese names: Meiguan Lan (Beautiful crown orchid) Zihuameiguan Lan (purple flower beautiful crown orchid) Indian names: Bonga taini in Orissa, Amarcana, Manya (Sanskrit), Ambarkand, Goruma (Hindi), Ambarakand, Bhuikakali, Manakanda (Marathi) Budbar (in Bengal), Mankand (in Bombay); also Balakanda, Granthidala, Kandalata, Malakanda, Panktikanda, Trishikhadala (from Caius 1936: dialects/region not identified) Nepalese name: Amarkand Thai names: Wan hua khru, Wan ung Eulophia spectabilis, also known by various names such as Beautiful crown orchid, Amarkand, and Wan hua khru, is a widespread terrestrial orchid found in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia. This orchid species can be found in diverse locations, including the Western Ghats of India, the tropical Himalayas, Myanmar, southern China, Indochina, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and the Pacific Islands. It thrives in different habitats across these regions. In terms of phytochemistry, Eulophia spectabilis contains several phenanthrenes, such as coelonin, nudol, eulophiol, lupeol, and more. These phenanthrenes have shown significant antiproliferative activity against human breast cancer cell lines, specifically MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231, at a concentration of 1000 mcg/ml. Additionally, the tubers of Eulophia spectabilis contain alkaloids, saponins, cardiac glycosides, steroids, and flavonoids. In traditional herbal usage, the pseudobulbs of Eulophia spectabilis are used in Malaysia and India. A poultice made from the pseudobulbs is applied to the abdomen to kill intestinal worms or to treat abscesses and infected wounds. This traditional usage may have roots in Ayurvedic medicine, where the tubers of the orchid were later reported to be used for treating tumors, scrofulous glands of the neck, bronchitis, and as a vermifuge, blood purifier, and antidote for poisoning. Tribal communities in Kudremukh National Park in Karnataka prepare a decoction with the tubers, either to treat tumors and bronchitis or to be consumed as appetizers. The Dongria hill tribe in Orissa uses the leaves of Eulophia spectabilis in decoctions as a vermifuge. The combination of its widespread distribution, phytochemical composition, and traditional herbal usage highlights the cultural and medicinal significance of Eulophia spectabilis in the regions where it is found. Further research and exploration of its potential therapeutic applications may uncover more insights into its benefits and uses. |

Orchis mascula (L.) L.
Common name: The Salep Orchid, Early Purple Indian names: Salab Misr, Salep Misri (Hindi), Salum (Bombay) Iranian names: Punjah-i-salaba; Salab Orchis mascula, commonly known as the Salep Orchid or Early Purple, is a species widely distributed throughout Europe, North Africa, temperate Asia, and Siberia. It holds cultural and medicinal significance in various regions, as evidenced by its different names and traditional uses. In India, it is referred to as Salab Misr or Salep Misri in Hindi and Salum in Bombay. In Iran, it is known as Punjah-i-salaba or Salab. Historically, Orchis mascula has been used for its medicinal properties. In India, the tubers of the orchid were boiled with milk and administered to individuals suffering from phthisis (a wasting disease), diabetes, chronic diarrhea, and dysentery. In Nepal, it is used as an expectorant, astringent, and nutrient. The tuber is considered a demulcent, tonic, and nutrient, particularly beneficial for Iraqi infants experiencing diarrhea. Salep, a thick jelly-like substance prepared from the tubers, is known for its high mucilage content. Even when diluted with 40 parts of water, it forms a thick gel. In the Peloponnesus region, the dried root of Orchis mascula is cooked and consumed. Salep, derived from Orchis mascula, has historically been considered an invigorating substance and aphrodisiac. However, it's important to note that the scientific evidence supporting these claims is limited, and further research is needed to validate these traditional uses and explore the potential bioactive compounds present in the orchid. The cultural significance and traditional uses of Orchis mascula highlight the historical knowledge and practices associated with this species. Continued research can help uncover the potential therapeutic benefits and applications of Orchis mascula in modern medicine and contribute to our understanding of its chemical composition and mechanisms of action. |
