Abstract

Habenaria radiata grows in wetlands in the Far East of Rusia and Japan. Both sexual and vegetative reproduction of the species are efficient in nature. Germination of seeds began one to two months after the seeds were sown in vivo as well as in vitro. The seeds from a seed bank for at least one year in nature. Protocorms may develop and produce green leaves within 2-6 months after the seeds are sown. Under stress lateral and even apical buds of H. radiata can produce branches with green leaves and new tubers. Lenghts of stolons decreased to 1 cm or less under stress. Some plants formed clusters of new tubers which are generated from one apical or lateral bud. Such behaviour of the species was also observed in axenic culture.
