Tiny forests, Miyawaki forests, native plant gardens- the specifics can vary, but native plants even in small patches can revive urban ecosystems and reconnect with the wild.

If you missed my talk this morning on conservation genomics come see my other talk at 8:30 on the pantropical clade Barlerieae in 110D #Botany2023

Lepechinia rossii (Ross’s Pitcher Sage) in bloom @CABotanicGarden . Notice the leafy 🥬 bracts along the scalloped inflorescence. Great to have an example of this local rare endemic!

@RPComito is using #ddRADSeq to reconstruct #phylogenetic relationships in #Acanthaceae clade Barlerieae - important diagnostic characters such as calyx lobe fusion are homoplasius 🤔 #pollen variation follows geographic boundaries

@softcorebotany I took this picture!

Just saw @KeanaTang ‘s talk on Cretaceous Lauraceae!! Epic 3D modeling of flower fossils to place these species in the current phylogeny.
