Even at the genus level, we see sibling genera that are disjunct across E North America & E Asia. One of the best examples is Taxodium in E North America & Glyptostrobus in E Asia. 📷1: T. distichum var. imbricarium, ENA. 📷2: G. pensilis, Isidro Martínez CCBYNCSA2, EA. #Cupressaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Eriospermum titanopsoides (📷: Vera Frith CCBYNC4) doesn't have crazy enations, but it has the most amazingly undulating margin, giving more edge area for fog interception & dew condensation. The photographer’s fingertip shows just how small these plants are. #Asparagaceae #fog #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Subfamily Duparquetioideae has just 1 genus with 3 spp. Duparquetia orchidacea (📷: Maël Dewynter CCBYNC4) is a liana of tropical West Africa. The flower is vaguely orchid-like. The 4 sepals are petaloid; petals 4 with a glandular fringe; anthers 4. It’s a weird legume! #Fabaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱
Photo of a raceme of flower buds with the lowest flower open. It is zygomorphic, with large, white dorsal and ventral sepals; four small, red petals pointing upward, and four anthers pointing downward.

I have a new favorite Wolf 359 fan theory (sight spoilers)

🫡
A screenshot of a post from Tumblr that says: specialagentartemis 7 hrs ago Follow • • • just realized that between the alien duplicates, the mind erasures, and the temporary deletions, there is an argument to be made that Minkowski is the only Wolf 359 character who completely 100% survived her mission to space booksandchainmail 3 hrs ago it's because she's the only one who actually read the Deep Space Survival Manual #wolf 359

A fabulous Smilax sp. from Vu Quang National Park, Vietnam. I haven’t identified this beauty yet. I’m here for the pink new foliage & discolorous leaves. 😍👏🏻#IPSinVietnam

Dung moss, Tetraplodon mnoides. As the common name suggests, it often grows on animal dung, but can also grow on bones, antlers and other substrates. Always an eye catcher for its striking colours.

Photo of a tuft of moss that includes hundreds of spear-like sporophytes. The colours of this moss are striking and include green, red and purple.

Maybe a weird thing to complain about but for some reason there's a ton of porn, especially furry porn, that's tagged with botany terms on here and when I'm just trying to read up on plants and follow the latest from my field I am inundated with anthro furry cock.

Here’s a little present for those of you on the Nice list. This is Asarum speciosum, native to Alabama. Isn’t it fantastic? #Aristolochiaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

There are new pieces of original art available on the Haus of Decline store!
hausofdecline.bigcartel.com

Additionally, past unsold pieces have been marked down!

Here are some examples of the new work that is available!
A trans woman says "I don't know what it is, but there's something trans as hell about this cactus." She makes a post on social media kissing the cactus with the caption "I Love My Trans Cactus". Comments range from "Cute, OMG, to "Gorgeous Gorgeous Girls love cacti." Two other trans women see the post and one says "yo, that cactus is Trans as hell." A group of trans women are buying cacti in droves. The clerk at the counter says "thank you ladies, you have saved the cactus store!" One blonde Phillie Phanatic lady says "I don't know if we should be doing this..." A dark-haired Phillie Phanatic draws the blonde one's face close. The blonde on continues "your husband is my boss." They kiss forbiddenly. At the Toxic Yuri Writer's Group: Philadelphia Chapter, a woman reading this fiction says sweats hornily and says "yeah, this is some good shit right here..." A man in a tie asks "why are you looking at my feet, Lawrence?" Lawrence knees down and sees the first man's shoes are exactly the make of Sora's from Kingdom Hears. He asks "are those... are those Sora's shoes from Kingdom Hearts?" The first man asks "what's Kingdom Hearts?" causing Lawrence to spirtal. Lawrence frips the side of his head and says "the mystery deepens further..." The first man, angry, points to his feet and says "these are medical orthotics, Lawrence."

Here’s a monocarpic rainforest legume tree. This is Tachigali versicolor, which has a spectacular buttressed trunk. After reproducing (& producing wind-dispersed fruits), the whole tree dies. Both photos by Reinaldo Aguilar CCBYNCSA2 #Fabaceae #monocarpy #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

🆕 The new issue of Annals of Botany is now online!

🌡️ Climate change & phenology
🔥 Fire & seed dormancy
🌱 Parasitic plant strategies
🧬 Citrus & bryophyte genomics
🌳 Forest vs. savanna expansion
🧩 Evolutionary insights & knowledge gaps

New issue👉 botany.fyi/U92lSy
The cover image shows Nothoceros endiviifolius, a member of the hornworts - a group of land plants characterized by the presence of pyrenoids, which is a key evolutionary trait. In this issue of Annals of Botany, Peñza-Bojacá et al. explore incomplete lineage sorting and ancient reticulation in hornworts as potential scenarios for pyrenoid evolution, based on phylogenetic discordance in the pyrenoid-free Leiosporoceros, thereby providing insight into hornwort diversification and evolution.

Pterocactus (10 spp) means “winged cactus.” These S. American species have dry fruits that break open at maturity to release large, winged seeds. This is a wind-dispersed #cactus! #Opuntoideae #Cactaceae #Tephrocacteae #dispesal. P. tuberosus by Silvina Velez CCBYNC4. #Botany #PlantScience 🌾🧪

Soy wax, much used for candles, is not a wax at all! It’s soybean oil (a lipid) hydrogenated sufficiently to become solid at room temperature. It is sometimes blended with beeswax (a wax ester) & essential oils (for fragrance). 📷: Printerval CCBYNC4 #Fabaceae #wax #Botany 🌾🧪🌱
