Scientists Uncover #NewSpecies of Sunflower in Big Bend National Park, Texas https://www.calacademy.org/press/releases/california-academy-of-sciences-and-partners-uncover-new-sunflower-species-in-big-bend paper by Debra Manley et al. https://phytokeys.pensoft.net/article/137624/
"The 'wooly devil' is the 1st new plant genus discovered in a US national park in ~50 years... The plant was first observed by park volunteer Deb Manley, who promptly uploaded the unknown species to #iNaturalist, where an international community of #botanists assembled to identify the mysterious flower"

#Botanists identify 33 global ‘dark spots’ with thousands of unknown plants https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/oct/01/kew-botanic-gardens-study-33-dark-spots-plant-species-identification-unknown-biodiversity- paper: https://nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nph.20024
"From a palm tree in #Borneo that flowers underground to a Malagasy #orchid that spends its life growing on other #plants, researchers are still making dozens of #NewSpecies discoveries every year... a new project led by #KewGardens is highlighting parts of the world where botanists should be concentrating their search."

The Guardians of Earth’s Most Grotesque Flowers
https://atmos.earth/rafflesia-guardians-give-endangered-corpse-flower-new-life/"A motley crew of #Rafflesia enthusiasts are racing against the clock to save the #CorpseFlower—the largest flower in the world—from #extinction... Each species smells different—#botanists don’t know why—and each #flower is either female or male and needs to bloom simultaneously with its counterpart to reproduce in 24 hours before it starts rotting. Nobody can predict where, when, and if it’ll bloom again after that."

Botanist Anna Atkins's ‘Photographs Of British Algae’ (1843) is thought to be the first book that caused death by boredom.

Need some clueful #botanists to advise on this: it's a Valerian of some kind; but is it Marsh (V. dioica) or Common (V. officinalis)?
Note: I'm well north of reported range; but there's a garden nearby that used to belong to a florist...

O #GardenersOfMastodon! Can anyone help me identify this #plant? If it's a tree, it needs to go, as it's too close to the house. If it's a shrub, we might be able to let it be. Current theories include: hibiscus coccineus, hawthorne, or maple.
Any ideas? Please repost! Thank you, plant people!

Hey, #botanists and other people who know plants; does anyone know what this is? It’s sprouted everywhere in one of my fauna gardens, but I’m pretty sure critters planted it, and not I. Some of them are quite tall.

#January 26, 1943
#OTD Nikolai Vavilov, Russian #Botanist & #Plant #Geneticist, died of starvation at the Saratov concentration camp.Meanwhile, Nikolai's team of scientists were held up inside the Russian #SeedBank, saving the precious repository from the 900-day siege of #StPetersburg. Placing the security of the world's seeds (some edible) over their own survival, some valiant #Botanists starved to death.
Today the seed bank honors Niko as the Vavilov Institute of Plant Genetic Resources.

Happy 521st Birthday to Leonhart Fuchs (1501-1566)! German, physician, botanist and author of the sumptuously illustrated herbal, De Historia Stirpium Commentarii Insignes (1542), Fuchs is considered one of the three founders of modern botany. The genus Fuchsia would later be named in his honor by Charles Plumier. #Fuchs #Fuchsias #Herbals #Botanists #Plumier

William Hemsley (d. 1924), British botanist and Keeper of the Library & Herbarium at Kew, was born today in 1843. Hemsley published The Apetalous Fuchsias of South America in 1875. Fuchsia hemsleyana, now a synonym of F. microphylla ssp hemsleyana, was named for him in 1937. Fuchsia Sec. Hemsleyella (15 sp) also honors his work. #Fuchsias #FuchsiaSpecies #Kew #Botanists #OnThisDay

John Gill "J.G." Lemmon & his wife, Sara Plummer Lemmon, were both #Botanists. Their work was always published as "J.G. Lemmon & Wife."
The #Couple met after the #CivilWar. John had #Survived #Andersonville while Sara toiled as a #Nurse & #Teacher.
Their 1881 #SantaCatalina #Mountains botanical #Honeymoon is mentioned in Elliot's #History of #Arizona:
"The Lemmons often sat on the stone porch of their #Cave & dug #Thorns & spines out of their #Hands & #Feet."

#OTD Martin #Sesse, #Spanish #Botanist, is born.King Carlos III put Sesse in charge of #Plant #Exploration in #NewSpain. The expedition would last over a decade.
Sesse put together an #ATeam of #Botanists, including José #Mociño & Vicente #Cervantes.
Sesse wrote a #Flora of Mexico, created #Stunning #Botanical #Art & established the Royal #BotanicGarden of #MexicoCity.
Today Sesse is #Remembered in a dry #Gin made in #Madrid. It's has a beautiful #Blue label.
