Reference excerpt

Phalaenopsis buyssoniana is a species of orchid native to Thailand and Vietnam.

Description It is a robust terrestrial, lithophyte with oblong-elliptic to elliptic-obovate, silvery green leaves up to 25 cm in length and 9.5 cm in width. The surface is finely spotted in purple. Rose-pink flowers are produced on erect racemes. This species has been found to be tetraploid with a chromosome count of 76 chromosomes (2n = 2x = 76). It similar in appearance to Phalaenopsis pulcherrima, but it has larger flowers, larger leaves and longer inflorescences. These attractive features creates a high demand of the species. Problems with fruit set may arise in the creation of interspecific hybrids.

Etymology The specific epithet buyssoniana honours the French botanist François-Charles, comte du Buysson (1825–1906).

Conservation The IUCN has not assessed this species conservation status. It is however protected unter the CITES appendix II regulations of international trade.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Phalaenopsis buyssoniana

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Phalaenopsis buyssoniana claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Phalaenopsis buyssoniana before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Phalaenopsis buyssoniana ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Phalaenopsis buyssoniana

In research: Phalaenopsis buyssoniana appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Phalaenopsis buyssoniana in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Phalaenopsis buyssoniana is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Flora listed on CITES Appendix II, Flora of Thailand, Flora of Vietnam, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Phalaenopsis buyssoniana outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
