An Entity of Type: insect, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Piperia is a former genus within the orchid family Orchidaceae that has since been subsumed under Platanthera. These plants are known as rein orchids. They are native to western North America, especially California and the Pacific Northwest. This genus has the following characteristics: (a) a bisexual perennial nongreen plant that grows from buried tubers; fruit capsule bearing numerous minute seeds; (c) pollen that is sticky, and which is removed as sessile anther sacs; and (d) stigma fused with its style into a column. There are a total of ten species in the genus Piperia, which is named for American botanist Charles V. Piper. The genus members manifest generally cylindrical spikes or racemes.

  • Piperia es un género de orquídeas perteneciente a la subfamilia Orchidoideae. Este género tiene las siguientes características: (a) es una planta bisexual perenne que crece de tubérculos enterrados, el fruto es una cápsula con numerosas semillas diminutas; (c) el polen es pegajoso y es eliminado en sacos de anteras sésiles, y (d) el estigma está fusionado con su estilo en una columna. Recibe el nombre en honor del botánico estadounidense Charles V. Piper. El género se manifiesta generalmente en inflorescencias cilíndricas de espigas o racimos. La arquitectura del subsuelo de estas orquídeas silvestres terrestres se compone de una estructura de rizoma, a partir de la cual emanan los tubérculos. El rizoma contiene extractos de hongos nutrientes intermedios y también puede almacenar algunos de estos nutrientes.​ Una roseta basal de hojas se desarrolla a partir del tubérculo en la superficie del suelo, cada uno con dos o tres hojas en forma de lanza. Cada hoja varía de 10 a 15 centímetros de longitud y 20 a 35 milímetros de ancho. Las hojas de las plantas más jóvenes suelen ser más pequeñas en tamaño. Piperia yadonii exhibe una sola flor nervada de uno a dos milímetros de ancho y una roseta basal de hojas en formación. Etimología Piperia: nombre genérico otorgado en honor del botánico Charles Vancouver Piper. (es)
  • Piperia is a former genus within the orchid family Orchidaceae that has since been subsumed under Platanthera. These plants are known as rein orchids. They are native to western North America, especially California and the Pacific Northwest. This genus has the following characteristics: (a) a bisexual perennial nongreen plant that grows from buried tubers; fruit capsule bearing numerous minute seeds; (c) pollen that is sticky, and which is removed as sessile anther sacs; and (d) stigma fused with its style into a column. There are a total of ten species in the genus Piperia, which is named for American botanist Charles V. Piper. The genus members manifest generally cylindrical spikes or racemes. The subsurface architecture of these terrestrial wild orchids consists of a rhizome structure, from which emanate tubers. The rhizome extracts nutrients from fungal intermediates and may also store some of these nutrients. A basal rosette of leaves develops from the tuber at the surface of the soil, each of the two or three leaves being lanceolate in shape. Each leaf ranges from 10 to 15 centimeters in length and 20 to 35 millimeters in width. Leaves of younger plants are often more diminutive in size. Platanthera yadonii, formerly Piperia yadonii, exhibits a single veined flower one to two millimeters in width and a basal rosette leaf formation. (en)
