First record of Hemidactylus gramineus (Gekkonidae) in Angola, with notes on its morphology, ecology and natural history

Genetic and morphological analyses confirm the identity of H. gramineus and distinguish it from its close relative H. nzingae.

One useful diagnostic feature? The number of ventral scale rows. Dorsal colouration is too variable for reliable identification.

Day 17 of #Coverbirds!

Little Brown Jobs. You know them, you love/hate them. Wouldn’t it be great if we had a bird guide just for them? Today’s coverbirds are Vesper Sparrow, Song Sparrow, American Tree Sparrow and Clay-coloured Sparrow (1/5) #birds
Cover of a fake bird identification guide called, “LBJ, A Field Guide” by M. Melodia and P. Gramineus. The cover features four photo tiles with Vesper Sparrow, Song Sparrow, American Tree Sparrow and Clay-Coloured Sparrow. Each one is a symphony of brown.

En general gramineus está en sitios menos húmedos que bulbosus, repens y paludosus, las otras tres especies muy comunes que están ahora en flor. Para identificarlos es importante fijarse en las hojas. R. gramineus, como su nombre indica, tiene hojas como de gramínea, largas y estrechas

I hauled out to Uji today on the train to go shopping in person at the aquatic plant specialty store. Mostly marginal plants to stabilize the shore: variegated cultivars of Acorus gramineus + calamnus, variegated cattail, lesser water plantain, fringed water-lily, water bacopa, and pearl weed.

From Ornithology: Hummingbirds, p. 1, by Sir William Jardine. These are really lovely little natural history books. Many artists contributed, including poet and author Edward Lear.
Hand-colored illustration of an adult male hummingbird with curved bill, dark green back and belly, light green chin, pink tail, and black, upswept wings. He is perched on a branch. Below are the words Trochilus Gramineus.

[Source]
Illustration of Dactylis glomerata, commonly known as Round panicked Cock's-foot grass, from an 1816 botanical book. The detailed drawing features a single grass stem with three fuzzy, clustered seed heads at the top, long narrow green leaves extending from the stem, and visible roots at the base. The grass is shown in full length against a plain cream-colored background. Labels identify the species name and common name. The style reflects early 19th-century botanical art, emphasizing accuracy and clarity for plant identification.

🌱 Hortus gramineus Woburnensis: London: Printed by B. McMillan, 1816.

[Source]
Illustration of a single stalk of annual-bearded rye-grass (Lolium temulentum) centered on a pale background. The grass has a long, slender green stem with narrow, pointed leaves curling slightly. At the top, a spike-like seed head with small pointed spikelets is depicted, showing a natural brownish hue. Two labels are visible: one near the middle identifies the species as "Lolium temulentum," and another near the base reads "Annual-bearded Rye-grass." The page number "299" is printed at the top center. The style is detailed and botanical, typical of early 19th-century scientific plant illustrations.

Vesper sparrow (Pooecetes gramineus) – From the Instagram archive… Not a common sparrow to see around west Michigan, but there are a few fairly reliable places to see/hear them each summer.

Taking a quick break from the screen, really enjoying this combination on the edge of the pond, in our exotic courtyard garden.

Acorus gramineus 'Ogon', Impatiens omeiana 'Sango', Viola labradorica 'Purpurea', and in the background Iris graminea.
