- Abstract
The capsules of Eulophia graminea Lindl. were collected from a seashore and a city of subtropical Taiwan. The seeds from the capsules sown in vitro and germinated, hence developed into rhizomes where they either sprouted to form flower stems or developed leaf shoots with roots. The subculture rhizomes that produced a large amount of flower stems generated flowering. The plantlets with flower stems were then cultured in a medium for fruition. Some capsules formed through the autogamous mating system were harvested and their seeds were sown in vitro. A total of 4 generations were cultured over a 4 year period. There are three explanations that support the findings of the E. graminea and its strong colonization ability: the unique storage structure of the rhizome, the brief juvenile stage and the autogamous mating system.
