New plant genus discovered in the Andes. Sumacoa barbata is an arborescent Gesneriad endemic to Cordillera del Cóndor.
David Neill, co-author of the study and legendary figure in neotropical botany, passed away this year. Sumacoa represents both a scientific milestone and a tribute to his legacy.

The concept of a #naturegarden has changed over the years.
Distant relative of current UK's head gardener Monty Don, George Don (1798-1856), travelled around the world to collect plants.
He saw European plants that had spread along colonial transport routes!

I try to stick to native plants but the Japanese #planthunters were a fascinating bunch and I usually have loads of succulents everywhere
Being forced into penury by the family & government is no fun 😕
