In recent years, researchers at the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have focused on restoring wild populations of endangered orchids. By mimicking the natural regeneration process of epiphytic orchids, they have greatly improved the germination rate of their seeds. Such techniques have ensured the survival of endangered species and the preservation of their genetic resources. (CGTN)
Cleisostoma linearilobatum is a small epiphytic orchid widely distributed in Southeast Asia including Xishaungbanna in Southwest China. During the systematic field surveys of orchid species diversity in Xishuangbanna, Prof. GAO Jiangyun and his team of Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) found that Cleisostoma linearilobatum was the most abundant species in both ‘holy hills’ and traditional tea gardens at elevations between...
