My first full week on sabbatical at @mobotgarden.bsky.social has been wonderful, full of beautiful #Campanulaceae specimens, a vibrant botanical community (including @jaguirresant.bsky.social !), and long, luxurious dog walks among the fall colors in Tower Grove Park 🥰🍂🔬🦮.

Tiny herb with coarsely toothed, lanceolate leaves and white tubular flowers.

I’m posting this week from the Peruvian Amazon with the International Palm Society.
You know you’re in the topics when this little weed is at your feet. This is Hippobrome longiflora #Campanulaceae. It has a global distribution (pantropical). #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Specimen of an indet Siphocampylus described in post

Daniel and I on our most recent trip ton Peru, a couple years ago

Wow- a #Siphocampylus #Campanulaceae specimen at @mobotgarden.bsky.social collected in Peru 🇵🇪 in 2012, when Daniel and I were newlywed baby botanists 🥹. And accompanying it, a picture of us from a couple years ago, when my grad student took us to his old haunts in Peru.

A small plant with threadlike stems and showy flowers. Nemacladus rubescens, Southern California, USA.

BSA is where you randomly strike up a conversation, figure out you are both enthralled with a kinda niche genus, and slowly realize you are talking to the world expert who has been ID’ing all of your iNat observations of the species. #botany2025 #nemacladus #campanulaceae

🗞️Check out my popular article in "The Bulletin: The Newsletter of the @ntbgarden.bsky.social"

🌱I discuss a multi-strategy approach to conserving Hawaiian seeds by highlighting 5 different groups of species; #Metrosideros, #Pritchardia, #Hibiscus, #Melicope, #Campanulaceae.

The teeny tiny #Wahlenbergia preissii! This slender member of the #Campanulaceae is widespread around the south west, and it’s a real pain to take a picture of! The slightest of breezes makes it sway uncontrollably 😂

Compensating for the corolla? Pollen exposure is not associated with pollen-collecting hair length AbstractBackground and Aims. Secondary pollen presentation, the relocation of pollen from the anthers to elsewhere on the flower, has evolved multiple time

🌍🌿 This research highlights how adaptations in plants aren't always about responding to current pressures—they can also be shaped by deeper evolutionary roots. (9/9)
