The destruction of wetlands in populated areas (e.g. Florida) has prompted interest in habitat restoration, We describe a symbiotic technique to germinate seeds of three semi-aquatic rein orchid species from Florida (Habenaria repens, H. quinquiseta, H. macroceratitis) and to cultivate H. repens seedlings on soil ex vitro. Seeds of all three Habenaria spp. germinated within 21 days of inoculation. Leaf-bearing seedlings of H. repens were obtained using two fungal isolates (Epulorhiza spp.) recovered front Florida orchids Spiranthes brevilabris and Epidendrum conopseum. Seedlings infected with the S. brevilabris fungus that were transferred to peat in a greenhouse had the highest (88.9%) survival (>159 days ex vitro). One H. repens seedling initiated anthesis 18 months after seed sowing. The methods outlined by this study have the potential to be adopted by wetland restoration projects seeking to include an orchid (H. repens) and mycorrhizal fungi as biotic agents.
