When geology meets botany, definitely “size” is quite, quite important. TENERIFE, Canary Islands. Stunning TOWER OF JEWELS, Red Bugloss (Echium Wildpretii), local endemism. @GeoTenerife @TenerifeNature

Tenerife. Same day, 40 min later, and a different ecosystem is in front of us. Amazing long day with @Brunel_EnvBSc @Bruneluni on their 2022 Environmental Science Field Trip #laurisilva #geography #ecology #botany #renewables #hydrology @GeoTenerife

In 2019, #Abutilon albidum plants were rediscovered on Tenerife. Until then, A. grandifolium - widely naturalised & #invasive on the Canary Islands - was the only species of Abutilon known from the island: https://t.co/aluyAuz8pS #Malvaceae #botany

This is a new free weekday puzzle! Like Wordle, it usually doesn't take long to do.

5 days of BOTANY!

I’m trying to get this off the ground, so please consider retweeting. Thank you.

A nauturalist abroad ..... so naturally, having a look at the local botany :)

For advice on how to look after and grow #Bougainvillea, I recommend this great #gardening page explaining how to maintain the vibrant #plant. @GeoIntern #biodiversity

[Ellie-May Redfern MPhil, BSc @Volcanelle]

This particular species relies on cross-pollination even though the flower has both female and male parts. The bracts’ sole purpose is to both protect the flower and attract pollinators. Even though bracts are leaves, they do not participate in #photosynthesis. @GeoIntern

[Ellie-May Redfern MPhil, BSc @Volcanelle]

At one particular point today, I had a great encounter with the beautiful #Bougainvillea - a vibrant and unusually structured #plant! Native to South America, this species typically thrives in subtropical/tropical environments. @GeoIntern #biodiversity #LaPalma

@mark_meijrink @Haggewoods @SteveTandy3 @joshual951 @dunnjons @Matt_Greenwings @visit_tenerife @BotanyCamp @icooper_cooper @RebeccaEBate I’m not going to include rosettes for S. parviflora aff. “mascaensis” or O. bombyliflora but seen all of the species on Tenerife, though fate has so far cruelly denied me good images of them & O. patens subsp. canariensis (bottom left) despite having visited in Jan, Feb and March

@thenewgalaxy @Haggewoods @SteveTandy3 @joshual951 @dunnjons @Matt_Greenwings @mark_meijrink @visit_tenerife @BotanyCamp @icooper_cooper @RebeccaEBate Hi Richard - Great photo. Assuming Brexit is a resounding success I'm going there this Dec (both Tenerife and Las Palmas) looking for precisely this species #brexitdoom

[Dr Richard Bate @thenewgalaxy]

21/1/14 - On this day five years ago we walked the lower slopes of El Teide in #Tenerife, searching for the critically endangered #orchid Himantoglossum metlesicsianum, my favourite European species. It’s endemic to the #CanaryIslands, found only in Tenerife and #LasPalmas.

Gran Canaria #wildfire images are heartbreaking
Canary Islands are a biodiversity hotspot.
URGENT need to invest in island-based rapid response resources.
