Description

This resource is about edible orchids, specifically, Disa satyriopsis that was collected in the grassland of Nyika national park where it is also endemic. The dataset also includes data for associated species. Samples of each species were collected and identification was done by the National Herbarium and Botanical Gardens of Malawi. Edible orchids are very popular within Malawi as a source of food and income. Locally, it is called Chikande or Chinaka.

Purpose

This project was specifically targeting to conserve an orchid, Disa satyriopsis (Data Deficient). The species is known only from the Nyika Plateau in Malawi where it is harvested for food (Simkoko 2012). Its local conservation status will be assessed and trials for propagation initiated. The following objectives were addressed in this project; 1. Mobilize historic species occurrence data to understand distribution in the past years 2. Conduct a national redlist assessment of the species to inform the species global status 3. Investigate the potential for propagation for the species to provide a sustainable use option to communities that harvest orchids while contributing to their conservation. 4. Survey the local communities on adoption of orchid propagation measures from previous efforts

Sampling Description

Study Extent

The key site will be on the plateau of Nyika National Park in Northern Malawi. Nyika National Park occupies a tract of mountains plateau and associated hills and escarpments in northern Malawi. Its area is 3,200km2, and it is centered upon 10o 33’S, 33o 50’E. Field surveys will also be conducted on two other sites with similar weather conditions as Nyika (Mt Mulanje and Zomba-Malosa Massif mountain) to confirm its presence or absence. This species is known only from Nyika Plateau in Malawi and Zambia.

Sampling

A total of 3 locations were randomly chosen from the main grasslands of Nyika National Park with a targeted D. satyriopsis in mind. The locations were Chelinda Air Strip, Ndanga-Dembo Junction and Dembo.

Method steps

  1. A minimum of 10 plots were laid on each location. Each plot was a 20 by 20 meters. A total number of each species in the plot was recorded and samples were collected for identification at National Herbarium and Botanic Gardens of Malawi. All species were recorded and GPS coordinates were collected from the center of each plot.
