Evolutionary history of Australian samphires (Salicornieae, Amaranthaceae) AbstractBackground and Aims. Tecticornia is the most species-rich genus within the tribe Salicornieae. These halophytes are distributed across the Australi

🌿 The study highlights how target enrichment is reshaping taxonomy in morphologically reduced, ecologically flexible plants, revealing narrowly distributed taxa that may be conservation priorities in Australia’s saltlands. (8/8)

Blue lotus, or Nymphaea caerulea, is related to water lilies but stands apart with unique bioactive compounds like apomorphine and nuciferine. These compounds contribute to its psychoactive and potential therapeutic properties. 🌸✨

Insights from morphological investigations and molecular phylogenetics reveal a new synonymy in Bellevalia (Asparagaceae: Scilloideae) in Iran | Phytotaxa

📢 New synonymy in Bellevalia!

Morphology + molecular data = 🧬 one species, not two: B. shiraziana is now B. decolorans.
Endemic, rare, and finally resolved.

#Nomenclature #PlantTaxonomy gripe. Taxonomists want us to use the latest name they've generated, making plant lists & #herbaria storage more difficult. But names often revert. I learned it 30 years ago as Linaria canadensis (Blue Toadflax), had to relearn as Nuttallanthus, now it's back to Linaria!

Parasitic plants show striking convergence in host preference across angiosperm lineages AbstractBackground and aims. The host specificity of a parasite underpins its ecology, distribution, invasive potential and adaptability, yet for most para

🌍Overall, the research reveals how little we know about the ecology of most parasitic plants. These organisms face heightened risks in an era of biodiversity loss, underscoring the need for more research and conservation efforts.
