Wild Vanilla planifolia and its relatives in the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula: Systematic analyses with ISSR and ITS

“…In Vanilla, only 47 of about 110 species recognized in the genus, have been included in any molecular analysis, and most of them only in phylogenetic studies (Soto-Arenas 2003, Minoo et al 2008, Soto-Arenas & Cribb 2010Soto-Arenas & Dressler 2010). A few studies have included purported Vanilla species (e.g.…”

Vanilla bahiana Hoehne and Vanilla pompona Schiede (Orchidaceae, Vanilloideae): two new records from Maranhão state, Brazil

“…Most species are found in tropical America, followed by southeastern Asia, Africa, and islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans (Cameron 2003, Soto-Arenas 2003, Soto-Arenas and Cribb 2010, Soto-Arenas and Dressler 2010, Pansarin et al 2012, Chase et al 2015. A total of 37 species of Vanilla occur in Brazil (Brazilian Flora 2017), including the newly discovered Vanilla arcuata Pansarin & M.R.…”

A new vanilla species from Costa Rica closely related to V. planifolia (Orchidaceae)

“…It is an ancient group of tropical orchids that originated in America about 70 million years ago and differentiated in America, Africa and Asia (Ramírez et al 2007;Bouétard et al 2010). The classification of the species of Vanilla was recently reviewed by Soto Arenas & Cribb (2010), who divided the genus into two subgenera, Vanilla and Xanata Soto Arenas & P.J.Cribb, and further split the subgenus Xanata into two sections Xanata and Tethya Soto Arenas & P.J.Cribb. Currently, about 110 Vanilla species are reported and clustered into 20 groups (Portères 1954;Soto Arenas & Cribb 2010;Cameron 2011;Pansarin et al 2012).…”

The V. planifolia group is the most important by the number of species (16) and, economically, because it contains the commercial species V. planifolia Jacks.…”
