Ophrys insectifera
Ophrys insectifera, commonly known as the fly orchid, is a species of orchid belonging to the genus Ophrys. It is native to Europe and typically grows in habitats with alkaline soil conditions. The distinctive feature of this orchid is its resemblance to a fly, which plays a crucial role in its reproductive process. The fly orchid has a unique pollination strategy that relies on wasps and bees. Like many other plants that depend on wasps for pollination, the fly orchid attracts these insects by releasing a fragrance that mimics the scent of female sexual pheromones. The scent acts as a powerful lure, enticing male wasps and bees that are seeking a mate. As the insects approach the flower, they inadvertently help with the pollination process by transferring pollen to other flowers. By imitating the scent of female sexual pheromones, the fly orchid deceives male wasps and bees into believing that they have found a potential mate. This clever adaptation ensures the orchid's reproductive success as the insects unknowingly assist in cross-pollination. The unique relationship between the fly orchid and its pollinators demonstrates the remarkable strategies employed by plants to ensure their survival and reproduction. Through the release of scent that mimics female sexual pheromones, the fly orchid effectively entices and utilizes the instincts of wasps and bees for successful pollination. |

Rasha (Unani) Nepalese names: Parajiva, Rasna Arabic name: Kharkittan Persian name: Zanjabeel-e-shami Thai name: Ueang sam poi India (in Chiang Mai), Ueang suea lek (in Bangkok) Vanda tessellata, also known as Anuradhapura Orchid, Grey Orchid, Rat-tha, Arattha, Rasni, is a robust, lowland, epiphytic orchid that is found in Sri Lanka, India, Nepal, and Myanmar. It often grows in close proximity to human habitation and exhibits a remarkable ability to tolerate varying levels of sunlight (ranging from 27% to 93%), high temperatures (26-31°C), and low relative humidity (31-44%). The phytochemistry of Vanda tessellata reveals the presence of various compounds, including alkaloids, tannins, resin, saponin, beta and gamma sitosterols, fatty oil, and coloring agents. Studies have demonstrated that an extract from the entire plant exhibits anti-acetylcholine and anti-arthritic effects in rats. Additionally, the orchid contains two anti-inflammatory compounds known as hepcosame (C27 H56) and octacosonol (C28 H58 O). Another noteworthy compound isolated from V. tessellata is tessallatin, a phenanthropyran. In traditional herbal medicine, Vanda tessellata has been extensively used and mentioned in ancient Sanskrit writings under the names Rasna and Raasnaa. It is described as a bitter and aromatic herb with beneficial properties for rheumatism. Rasna was employed to treat various ailments, including nervous disorders, rheumatism, scorpion stings, dyspeptic conditions, bronchial affections, and rheumatic fever in India. Different parts of the plant were utilized for specific purposes, such as the roots being used as ear drops, the whole plant for treating fractures, and the roots as a contraceptive. The leaves were believed to prevent wounds from becoming purulent sores and were used to alleviate tearing and earaches, sometimes in combination with aerial roots and neem oil. Vanda tessellata was also used in the treatment of secondary syphilis, snake bites, and scorpion bites. The Dongria Kandha tribe of the Niyamgiri Hills in southwest Orissa has a traditional practice of using a decoction of V. tessellata root mixed with honey to treat sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Vanda tessellata is known for its fragrant characteristics, emitting a strong floral scent. This fragrance is attributed to compounds such as linalool (23%), methyl benzoate (61.5%), cinnamic aldehyde (0.1%), and methyl cinnamate (4.6%). Additionally, the orchid contains traces of other molecules, including benzyl acetate, alpha-ionone, 3-phenylpropanal, p-cresol, and indole. The fragrance of V. tessellata is transmitted to its F1 and F2 progeny when crossed with other Vanda species. Notably, the roots of V. tessellata also possess a pleasant fragrance. |
