Autor/s Eva Pich PonceUniversidad de Sevilla, Spain   ABSTRACT Hiromi Goto’s Chorus of Mushrooms (1994) highlights the difficulties encountered by Japanese when immigrating and living in Canada. This essay focuses on how Hiromi Goto uses linguistic codes to construct cultural identities and to stress the arbitrary nature of stereotypes. It analyzes the importance of memory and translation, which can be seen as both necessary and alienating. It also examines the importance of language and storytelling in the process of constructing one’s identity.

From the Editors CLIL AT UNIVERSITY: RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENTS In recent times, the relevance of CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) at most educational levels, especially in the university world, has experienced an exponential increase, as recent publications show (Doiz et al. 2013, Fortanet-Gómez 2013, Llinares et al. 2012, or Smit and Dafouz 2012a, among others). Teaching in English seems to be a popular topic nowadays, but it is also a need. The articles included in this issue show three main common features of CLIL and its role in today’s higher education: the process of internationalization of the educational system, the need for a language policy, and the fact that English for Specific Purposes (ESP) as a field of research and teaching as well as ESP practitioners are all very much concerned with CLIL.

Reviewed by M. Mar Gallego DuránUniversity of Huelva, Spain   The volume authored by Koritha Mitchell is a remarkable contribution to the field of African American drama, as it explores the manifold uses of lynching plays during the Progressive era as crucial tools to ensure community conversation and debate about the difficulties and complexities involved in having to coexist with the terrible reality of lynching.

Los Cerros de La Carpintera son una formación montañosa en el Valle Central de Costa Rica que alberga remanentes de bosque nuboso en sus partes altas y están rodeados por áreas urbanas y agrícolas. Con el interés de promover su conservación, este trabajo documenta la diversidad de su flora orquideológica e identifica especies vulnerables a la extinción utilizando como criterio la distribución geográfica latitudinal y por elevación. El área de estudio comprendió 742 ha localizadas en las partes altas de los cerros (1600–1850 m) las cuales reciben la mayor influencia de la nubosidad. Se documentaron 136 especies en 52 géneros, aumentando en 74%  la diversidad de orquídeas con respecto al listado más reciente para la zona. Los géneros Epidendrum (22 spp.) y Stelis (14 spp.) fueron los más diversos, pero la mayoría de ellos (62%) estuvieron representados por una sola especie. El hábito epífito fue dominante (91%). Se identificaron 30 especies como vulnerables a extinción debido a su distribución restringida, ya sean endémicas nacionales o de bosques montanos altos (sobre 1500 m). Sumando las especies amenazadas por extracción ilegal y aquellas especies raras no recolectadas en los últimos 80 años la cantidad de especies vulnerables aumenta a 40 especies (29% del total). Los Cerros de La Carpintera son un reservorio importante para la conservación in-situ de orquídeas a nivel nacional. Utilizando las orquídeas como modelo, estudios demográficos y reproductivos a mediano plazo podrían brindar indicios del efecto del cambio climático sobre las plantas epífitas de los bosques montanos nubosos.

Abstract. Three new species of the genus Lepanthes from the Alto de Ventanas ecoregion in the central Andes of Antioquia, Colombia, are described and illustrated. Lepanthes sabinadaleyana is similar to L. lycocephala but it is distinguished by the narrowly ovate leaves and the lip with oblong-obovate blades with an ovoid, obtuse appendix. Lepanthes cissyana is similar to L. ballatrix, but it differs by its purple lip with elliptical blades and a semicircular, concave body with two long, pubescent appendices in the sinus. Lepanthes dougdarlingii is similar to L. hortensis but can be distinguished by the prolific habit and the appendix of the lip lingulate to oblong, pubescent, with a concave depression in the middle, an apical glandlike structure and a tuft of hairs on the abaxial surface near the apex.

Two new species of Platystele were discovered at the orchid-rich forest of Los Cedros Reserve at North-west Ecuador. Many species of orchids grow in these forests and some endemic to it. Platystele cedriensis is similar to P. rhinocera from which it differs in the horizontal to descending inflorescence and the three-veined dorsal sepal. Platystele decouxii presents flowers with a unique heart-shaped lip with a heart-shape depression in the blade of the lip. We warn that on-going mining activities and concessions put in risk these and other endemic species from Los Cedros Reserve.  

Three new combinations under the genus Bulbophyllum and one new combination under the genus Dendrobium are proposed. This work is aimed to solve the ambiguity in the Philippine Orchidaceae.

A new small-flowered natural Odontoglossum hybrid from northwestern Ecuador is described and illustrated with a line drawing and a photograph. The novelty is compared with its sympatric parent species, Odontoglossum armatum and O. mirandum. The flower of the new natural hybrid has shorter erect lateral lip-lobes compared to those for O. mirandum, but distinctly longer erect lateral lip-lobes compared to those for O. armatum, which are basically lacking altogether. The taxonomic status of the variable O. mirandum is briefly discussed.  

A new species of Chiloschista from a restricted area in Bhutan is described and illustrated. It is compared with C. parishii from Myanmar and Thailand, which has similarly colored flowers and from which it differs by the larger flowers, 15–18 mm versus 8–10 mm, and the lack of a glandular and pubescent, erect and curved callus lobe inside the lip, which is generally seen in other similarly colored species of this genus.
