Description

One of the nearly threatened parasitic orchids, Lecanorchis suginoana, was discovered from the Higashiyama campus of Nagoya University. As a result of the field survey in the campus, we recognized 107 individuals of L. suginoana on a gentle slope of the upper part of Ninotani near the agriculture faculty. They grew in scattered groups under the deciduous forest, where Quercus serrata and Quercus variabilis were dominant. This discovery suggests the need of more intensive investigation for the flora of the university campus and of the reappraisal on the importance of the campus environment in the nature conservation.
