The Orchid family, Orchidaceae, is the largest
family of flowering plants with 880 genera and well in excess of 20,000
species. They represent between 6% - 11% of all seed plants. They have a large
number of extremely specific properties but are at the same time an
inordinately diverse family of plants.
Orchids have complex pollination strategies. Many
of these involve deception either deceiving the pollinator into believing that
they provide nectar when they don't or deceiving the pollinator into thinking
that they are another insect that is sexually available. Some species trap
pollinators and force them to escape in a particular way that enhances the
chances of pollination. These tactics have to be very specific to the
pollinator and orchids are incredibly adaptable hence the great number of
different species. Studies in epigenetics, the occurrence of heritable
attributes that are not derived from the genetic code, have found that orchids
are particularly adept at developing such traits and at passing them on to
future generations. So not only are they genetically exceptionally diverse but
even within genetically similar groups there is a wide diversity of specific,
heritable adaptations.
Orchid seeds are tiny, many are microscopic,
which allows widespread distribution in a way that is similar to the spores of
fungi. However, it means that they have no endosperm to sustain them through
germination and early growth. It order to find nutrients for germination they
have to form a symbiotic relationship with fungi.
Like the carnivorous plants, the orchids push
the boundary between what is vegetable and what is animal. The carnivorous
plants do this through what they consume and the way they attract prey. The
orchids do it through their connection to sexuality.
Orchids are the most sexual of plants. Many of
them are sensual; in their appearance, to touch and in their scents. The
deceptive pollination of many species involves what could be termed sexual
behaviour with insects. The name orchid is derived from orkhis the Greek word
for testicle as some species have two tuberous roots that resemble testicles. Similarly
in Middle English they were called ballockworts.
A study of the effect of an Himalayan
Dactylorhiza on rats shows that the association is a valid one and that orchids
have a significant effect on testosterone levels and testosterone related
activity. The bulbous roots of Dactylorhiza hatagirea (D.Don) Soo (Fam.
Orchidacea) which are synonymous to the tubers of Orchis macula (Orchidaceae)
and serve as source of Salep, are used traditionally in Indian subcontinent
specially in the Northern region and Nepal as aphrodisiac and sexual stimulant.
It is considered as a nutritive and restorative tonic and also as an
alternative source of Salep used very commonly in Europe
Several orchids have been proved: Cypr. Vanilla. and Phalaenopsis gigantean. (= Elephant ear orchid) available at:

Calypso bulbosa. (= Calypso Orchid) at:

The Lady Slipper Orchid, Cypripedium, has a
history of use as a remedy for nervous excitement and sleepless children.
In Vanilla there is a strong quality of
sensuousness. In Phalenopsis confusion is an overwhelming issue. In Calypso the
issue of seductive and deceptive sexuality predominates. These are all issues
that are common to the Orchids, including Dactylorhiza, but one area seems to
come to the fore in each individual species.
Dactylorhiza praetermissa., the Southern Marsh Orchid is a common
European orchid. The Dactylorhizas have two to five, slightly elongated,
tuberous roots that resemble fingers and the name derives from the Greek
dactylos which means finger. It grows in open ground such as bogs and wet
meadows and it will colonize waste ground. It hybridizes very easily with other
species of Dactylorhiza.
