Phalaenopsis wilsonii Rolfe
Chinese names: Die Lan (butterfly orchid), Huaxidie Lan (Western China butterfly orchid), Huaxihudie Lan (Western China moth orchid) Chinese medicinal name: Die lan A small Chinese species is found as an epiphyte on trees in sparse woods or as a lithophyte in shady spots along ravines in Yunnan, southeastern Xizang, western Guangxi, western Sichuan, southwestern Guizhou in China and in northern Vietnam. It does not get killed by bacterial rot, is immune to fungi, and it is not attacked by arthropods, snails and slugs . Leaves are used as a salad in Java. Phytochemistry: It is promising as a source of secondary metabolites because many alkaloids (17) were found. Most ofthem in excess of 0.1 % of total weight. Phalaenopsine is the major alkaloid (more than 90 % of the alkaloid content) and is present throughout the plant. This makes the extraction very easy. Two phenanthropyran derivatives have been isolated from P. equestris. They are 3-methoxy-2,7-dihydroxy-5H-phenanthro(4,5-bcd) pyran and 2,3,7-trihydroxy-5H-phenanthro (4,5-bcd)pyran. Naturally occurring pyrolizidine alkaloids from plants are generally poisonous and are known to cause fatalities in grazing cattle, and liver cirrhosis and cancer in humans. However, the pyrolizidine alkaloids present in orchids are thought to be non-toxic (International Program on Chemical Safety, WHO, 1988). Plant is used to treat headache in some countries. This is a very fragrant species. Geranyl diphosphate synthase is the precursor of monoterpenes, the major scent compound in strongly scented P. bellina. It also has geraniol and linalool. |
