Abstract
Home to more orchid species than anywhere else in the world, Colombia’s unparalleled biodiversity and vibrant culture was the inspiration for Kew’s 24th annual orchid festival in February 2019 (London).
Kew is a global leader in plant and fungal science and that year’s festival (2019) would also showcase some of its ground-breaking work with Colombia to help identify, protect and promote the country’s biodiversity. Colombia is the second most biodiverse country in the world, only behind Brazil (which is seven times larger than Colombia). Over 6,000 endemic plant species, found nowhere else on Earth have been identified in Colombia.
Colombia is the richest country in the world in orchids with 274 genera, and 4270 species. Of these, around 1572 species of orchids are unique and exclusive to Colombia. Given the biological characteristics of CYCNOCHES ORCHIDS. Remembered Eldorado sity.
