  1. Phytotelma (Ecology 🏞️)

    Phytotelma is a small water-filled cavity in a terrestrial plant. The water accumulated within these plants may serve as the habitat for associated fauna and flora. A rich literature in German summarised by Thienemann developed many aspects of phytotelm biology. Reviews of the subject by Kitching and Maguire introduced the concept of phytotelmata to English-speaking readers. A multi-authored...

  4. Almond bud scale next to the dissection tool for scale. The pick of the dissection tool is about the same size as a sewing pin.

  5. The underside of a fern is covered in sori, the singular is sorus, which are covered by the indusium. The indusium protect the sporangia (the ball things full of spores) until they are mature and appropriate environmental conditions are met. Attached are 3 photos to provide scale the best one, in my opinion, has a bit of 5mm pencil lead and a single sporangia on the tip of the forceps.
