7. O Conservatório Princesa de Gales - a exposição.
O Conservatório Princesa de Gales apresenta duas zonas climáticas principais, a tropical húmida e a tropical seca, que contêm, por sua vez, mais oito subzonas micro-climáticas especiais.
Uma das principais atracções da área principal da zona tropical húmida é um grande tanque de aspecto naturalista, que alberga o gigante botânico vulgarmente denominado victória-régia ou nenúfar gigante (Victoria amazonica)1.
Duas das subzonas que proporcionam uma experiência mais intensa de ambiente tropical são as dos orquídeas e fetos, com as suas espectaculares colecções que incluem a raríssima orquídea Epidendrum ilense, do Equador, e as dezoito espécies dos fetos chifre-de-veado (género Platycerum) com as suas formas invulgares, todas epífitas.
Outras famílias de plantas estão amplamente representadas, como a Bromeliaceae, a que pertence o ananás (Ananas cosomus), a Zingiberaceae, a que pertence o gengibre (Zingiber officinalis) e a Costaceae, que compreende o género Costus a que pertencerá (provavelmente) a planta de flor branca que se vê na imagem abaixo2.
A zona tropical seca compreende uma área principal contendo a vegetação dos climas áridos ou desérticos quentes do mundo e outra, secundária, que mostra a vegetação dos locais sub-áridos ou sub-desérticos.
Para além de inúmeras plantas comummente designadas por cactos, podem ver-se algumas preciosas curiosidades de que se destacam a (verdadeira) árvore-do-incenso, Boswellia sacra, e o baobá, Adansonia za.

7. Princess of Wales Conservatory - the display.
The Princess of Wales Conservatory was opened to the public in 1987 and has two main climatic zones, the wet tropics and the dry tropics, that contain in their turn eight specific micro-climatic sub-zones.
One of the chief attractions in the main area of the wet tropical zone is a big tank that supports among other tropical aquatic plants Kew's special giant water-lily, Victoria “Longwood Hibrid”, which results of crossing the species V. amazonica and V. Cruziana.
Two of the sub-zones that favour a more intense experience of the tropical ambience are those of orchids and ferns, and their spectacular collections that include the very rare orchid Epidendrum ilense, from Equador, the magnificent orchid Paphiopedilum sanderianum, from Bornéu, and the eighteen horn-fern species (genera Platycerum, all of them epiphytes) showing their unusual shapes.
The dry tropical zone has a main area containing sample vegetation from the hot arid or desertlike climates around the world, and a smaller area to show some specimen of the vegetation from semi-arid or near-desert places.
Beyond the innumerable plants commonly called cactus, one can see some unexpected precious plants like the frankincense, Boswellia sacra, and the Madagascan baobab, Adansonia za.
