🎉 Say hi to Prosa fruticosa!
First #Angiosperms353 phylogeny of #Loasaceae + SEM cracked open Huidobria—turns out it’s two lineages in disguise.
Morphology & molecules agree: it’s genus-splitting time.

Interpreting Elatinaceae’s Tiny Flowers in The Evolutionary Saga of Malpighiales To understand the evolution of the flowers of a megadiverse group, Brazilian researchers had to delve into the floral anatomy of a family whose position on the evolutionary tree of plants has been con...

On his first @botany.one post, Anderson presents us with an exciting study where flower anatomy holds the key to revealing why two families with such different flowers can be closely related 🌸🔬 #PlantEvolution #PlantSystematics botany.one/2024/04/inte...
