But back to floral bracts, the bracts subtending flowers or inflorescences. They can be attractive, adding to the floral display & drawing in more pollinators. Hereβs Schaueria calytricha in the #Acanthaceae, another family known for its showy bracts. #Acanthaceae #bracts #Botany πΎπ§ͺπ±
Pollen diversity in Barlerieae
Summary RADseq phylogeny of Barlerieae
π’ We have a new study out in Taxon, exploring phylogenetic relationships in the tribe Barlerieae of #Acanthaceae using RADseq data, laying the groundwork for a revised classification of this fascinating group of ca. 500 tropical species.
