  • A Cymbidium variety 'Snow Bell' (C. kanran ${\times}$ C. Jack Frost) was developed at the National Institute of Horticultural & Herbal Science, Rural Development Administration in 2011. A cross between C. kanran with small-sized greenish colored flowers and C. Jack Frost with bright pink colored flowers, was conducted in 1999. Based on flower color, leaf shape, flower stalk, and vigor one line was selected. Evaluation and selection trials were conducted from 2006 to 2010. 'Snow Bell' has a light pink sepal (RHS, R56D), red lip (R56A) and a leaf length of 47.5 cm. The average number of flowers on each peduncle is 13.8 and the flower diameter is 6.2 cm. The characteristics of petals and sepals show some incurve and some spreading. 'Snow Bell' has a vigorous growth and a round flower. It has an adequate peduncle height of 50.7 cm compared with leaf length of 47.5 cm, and start blooming in December. In electronic nose analysis, the degree of fragrance between 'Snow Bell' and the C. kanran was similar and both of them showed strong scents, although they had different fragrance patterns.

  • This study was carried out to investigate the range of distribution and vegetation structure of habitats of genus Cymbidium which is distributed in Jeju Island, Korea. This genus is distributed in tropical and subtropical Asia and North Australia. In Korea, there are six species [i. e. C. goeringii (Rchb. f.) Rchb. f., C. kanran Makino, C. lancifolium Blume var. aspdistrifolium (Fukuy.) S. S. Ying., C. macrorhizum Lindl., C. nagifolium Masam. and C. ensifolium L.], which were also distributed in Jeju Island. The habitats of this genus ranged between 16 meter and 574 meter above sea level in Jeju Island. C. macrorhizum had the broadest altitudinal range (16-574 meter above sea level), whereas C. ensifolium, C. nagifolium and C. lancifolium var. aspidistrifolium had the narrow altitudinal range. According to the classification analysis by TWINSPAN, the plant communities were divided into five groups of Castanopsis sieboldii community, Castanopsis sieboldii-Pinus thunbergii community, Pinus thunbergii-Quercus acutissima community, Pinus thunbergii community and Quercus glauca- Aphananthe aspera community. Three species, C. kanran, C. nagifolium, and C. ensifolium inhabited Castanopsis sieboldii community and C. lancifolium var. aspdistrifolium inhabited Castanopsis sieboldii-Pinus thunbergii community. C. macrorhizum inhabited Pinus thunbergii community, Pinus thunbergii-Quercus acutissima community and Quercus glauca-Aphananthe aspera community. C. goeringii inhabitated Castanopsis sieboldii-Pinus thunbergii community and Pinus thunbergii-Quercus acutissima community. The populations of the genus Cymbidium have been extremely decreased due to illegal collection in Jeju Island. Especially, the distribution range of C. kanran, C. nagifolium, and C. ensifolium was narrow and limited to evergreen broad-leaved forests, therefore, conservation plans are needed for the protection of these species.

  • This study was to identify the orchid mycorrhizal fungi and to test whether the orchid plants antificially inoculated with this fungus showed better growth them uninoculated plants. Symbioses in the root cells of the native plants of Cymbidium goeringii collected were observed and the digestive forms of peletons were also observed in various native roots. Two types of hyphae, thick $(7{\sim}10\;{\mu}m)$ and thin $(2{\sim}4\;{\mu}m)$ in thickness, were conclusively found to be from various native orchid roots. The symbiotic fungus was isolated by several agars and identified as a Rhizoctonia repens or a R. endophytica var. endophytica. Symbioses on the plantlets of C. karnan and Cymbidium hybrid 'Onomoron' were evaluated as the isolates inoculated on oatmeal agars. The growth of plantlets were measured with the formations of mycorrhizae in the roots. R. repens was shown to be the better isolate than the other in growth stimulation of plantlets on oatmeal agars when grown for two months. The two types of hyphae in the root cells under nature were speculated from the different fungal isolates of Rhizoctonia. Further isolates would be needed for application works for the orchid industries.

  • In the Natural Monument (No. 432) Jeju Sanghyo-dong Cymbidium kanran Habitat (39 ha), flora, vegetation diversity, stand structure, mirco-climate, canopy openness, light environment and soil temperature and moisture were quantified from Oct. 2013 to Feb. 2014. Compare to Seogwipo-si, daily mean temperature ($5.7^{\circ}C$) and moisture (75.8%) in study area were lower at $3.3^{\circ}C$ and 15%, respectively. Mean soil temperature and moisture were $16.5^{\circ}C$ and 37.3%, respectively, and mean litter layer depth (n = 81) was 4.3 cm. Mean canopy openness and light availability at forest floor were 15.5% and $8.5mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}day^{-1}$, respectively. Total of 22 species including vascular and bryophyte plants and 6 vegetation group were observed. Castanopsis siebildii was dominant species in study area, and density and basal area were 1,777 stem/ha and $90.3m^2/ha$.

  • Cymbidium 'Orange Bowl' (Lucky Rainbow 'Randevous' ${\times}$ 'Eastern Star') was developed from a cross between hybrids at the National Institute of Horticultural & Herbal Science, Rural Development Administration in 2006. A cross was made between the pink colored flower C. Lucky Rainbow 'Randevous' as maternal line and pure yellow colored flower, C. 'Eastern Star' as paternal line in 1995. The seed germination, cultivation, selection, and characteristic trials were conducted from 1996 to 2006. The line was named as Wongyo F1-18 and phenotype was characterized in 2006 as a new 'Orange Bowl'. The 'Orange Bowl' has having light yellow basal color (RHS, YO21D) and orange line (RHS, OR30B) on both of sepal and petal with red lip (RHS, OR30B). 'Orange Bowl' has about 10.9 flowers per flower stalk and flower size of 7.4 cm. General appearance of the petals and sepals is slightly incurved shape. The plant size is intermediate having erect peduncle. Blooming is started from the late of January (mid winter) under optimal culture condition. Leaf attitude and twisting is half- erect and very weak respectively. This hybrid has attractive floral arrangement, long flower stalk (71.8 cm) and vigorous growth. We expect that 'Orange bowl' has a great potential for exporting to Chinese market.

  • $Cymbidium$ 'Purple Princess' ('Show Girl' x 'Eiko') is a new cultivar having dark purple sepal and petal (RHS, RP59A) with purple lip (RHS, RP59A). A cross was made between pink colored $C.$'Show Girl' as maternal line and dark purple colored $C.$ 'Eiko' as paternal line in 1994. It was preliminarily selected as Line No. 94019267 in 1999 considering the characters of flower shape and color, leaf growing shape and growth habit in normal culture condition. Multiplication, cultivation, and characteristic trials were conducted from 2000 to 2003. The line was named as Wongyo F1-7 and phenotype was characterized in 2004 as a new 'Purple Princess'. 'Purple Princess' has about 13.2 flowers per flower stalk and flower size of 5.2 cm. General appearance of petals and sepals is slightly incurved shape. The plant size is intermediate having erect peduncle. Blooming starts from early December under optimal culture condition. Leaf attitude and twisting is erect and very weak respectively. Erect leaf will be suitable for growing and handling in the nursery as pot orchid flowers.

  • Cymbidium (C.) spp. 'Wedding Day' was developed by the National Institute of Horticultural and Herbal Science, Rural Development Administration in 2021. This cultivar was derived from the artificial cross between C. 'Boksam Holiday' and C. 'Persicolor' in 2008. After the crossing, 112 seedlings were obtained through in vitro germination and transferred to the green house. Based on their vegetative and flowering characteristics, two lines were selected through the first selection. To confirm the stability and uniformity of the two lines, the first and second trials were conducted from 2017 to 2021. As a result, the final line with the code 'C0844-29' was selected as 'Wongyuo F1-78'. After evaluating consumer preference, the line was named as 'Wedding Day'. This hybrid is medium sized cultivar with long vase life of cut flowers and more than 11 white flowers per stalk. It has 63.2 cm of erect stalks which are suitable for cut flower. The leaves are 65.8 cm long and located lower than the flowers, providing appropriate shape for viewing the flowers. It starts flowering from late January. It has sufficient proliferation ability to enable mass proliferation for commercial use (Registration No. 9523).
