The brown shading indicates elevation above 900 m, and the pink, yellow, and green shadings represent the Caatinga, Cerrado, and Atlantic Forest domains, respectively. Area names in italic are areas of endemism frequently identified in campo rupestre floristic studies.

So this is where the good #botany2024 posts are 🥸

After #botany2024, we drove to my parents house where I promptly took a nap.

Me: wakes up groggy and grumpy
@emcassey.bsky.social: you're like a little kid who hit the juice boxes too hard at sleepaway camp.

What a great meeting, #botany2024!!! I'm now going to sleep for two days straight. See y'all next year 🌵💚

Heading home from #botany2024 and have 3.5 hours in GRR and 5 hours in ORD. Guess it's time to work on a grant!

Coffee at the opposite-leaved woody plant cafe on our way out of Grand Rapids and #Botany2024. #iamabotanist #plantjoy #bisonflowers

Sadly leaving #botany2024 today to head back to the UK - maybe I'll see some of you at #Evolution2024 in Montreal next month? Great meeting, really enjoyed it and such great science and colleagues!

Just did my daily Duolingo lesson in a karaoke bar full of #botany2024 people AMA. At 11PM.

#Botany2024 has been an amazing conference with phys and ecophys friends and colleagues. Cannot wait until #Botany2025
