Kamahi is typical; its monopodial ( single trunk ) form changes to sympodial ( low, gnarled with root-stocks supporting up to a dozen trunks ) at higher altitudes.
32.
With some monopodial species, the stem ( the rhizome ) might fork into two, but for all monopodial orchids this is not necessary for continued growth, as opposed to orchids with sympodial growth.
33.
In botany, "'sympodial "'growth is a specialized lateral growth pattern in which the apical meristem is terminated and growth is continued by one of more lateral meristems, which repeat the process.
34.
The conidia from which the hilum extends, are either straight, curved, slightly bent or ellipsoidal to fusiform . and are formed on the top through a pore ( poroconidia ) on an elongated sympodial angled conidiophore.
35.
However, small sympodial corms, representing not yet elongated suckers, are easier to transplant and can be left out of the ground for up to two weeks; they require minimal care and can be shipped in bulk.

""'Epidendrum coriifolium " "'is a sympodial epiphytically at altitudes of 1.4 1.7 km in dense forests in Brazil, Ecuador, Mexico, Central America, and Venezuela.
37.
However, small sympodial corms, representing not yet elongated suckers, are harder to transplant and can be left out of the ground for up to 2 weeks; they require minimal care and can be boxed together for shipment ."

Labellum adnatum . " This reed-stemmed genus includes sympodial " Epidendrum " plants with stems covered with imbricating sheaths which show no tendency to swell into pseudobulbs, and with terminal inflorescences which lack any sheath or spathe at the base.
39.
This genus of sympodial orchids develop pseudobulbs, which vary in length from under a centimetre ( e . g . " Dendrobium leucocyanum " ) to several metres long ( e . g . " Dendrobium discolor " ), resembling canes.

Drawing of " C . warscewiczii " in Xenia Orchidacea vol . 1, 1858 It was first collected by J�zef Warszewicz in Colombia in 1848-49 and formally described by Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach in 1855 . " C . warscewiczii " exhibits a typical Cattleya sympodial habit.
