Jumellea is an orchid genus with 55 species native to Madagascar, the Comoros, the Mascarenes, and eastern Africa.[1] In horticulture, it is often abbreviated Jum.

Etymology

[edit]

It is named after Henri Lucien Jumelle, a French botanist.[2]

Ecology

[edit]

Pollination

[edit]

Jumellea exhibits the typical adaptions to pollination by hawk moths. However, also auto-pollination is known to occur in Jumellea stenophylla.[3]

Phylogeny

[edit]

Jumellea is proven to be monophyletic.[4]

Jumellea is the sister group to Aeranthes.[4][5][6] Both genera together are the sister group to Angraecum:[6][5]

Aeranthes

Jumellea

Angraecum

Angraecum evolved into a separate lineage about 9.12 million years ago, and the genera Jumellea and Aeranthes separated about 9.55 million years ago. This means these genera date back to the Miocene.[6]
