Eight new species of Greigia (Bromeliaceae) from the Andean cloud forests! Their pineapple-flavored fruits feed spectacled bears, their flowers smell like fermented milk, and one, G. muysca, honors the Indigenous Muysca people. Read more: doi.org/10.11646/

Puya farallonensis sp. nov. (Bromeliaceae), a new species from the Western Cordillera of Colombia Puya farallonensis (Bromeliaceae, Puyoideae) is described as a new species from Farallones de Cali National Natural Park, located in the department of Valle del Cauca, Colombia. This species resemble....

Phylogenetic relationships and the repeated loss of traits associated with sicklebill pollination in Centropogon subgenus Centropogon (Campanulaceae) Premise Centropogon subgenus Centropogon comprises 55 species found primarily in midelevation Andean forests featuring some of the most curved flowers among angiosperms. Floral curvature is linked t.....

Check out the most recent #LagoLab publication, now out in @botsocamerica.bsky.social American Journal of Botany 🧪! Led by @jankm24.bsky.social, it’s an updated phylogeny of subgenus #Centropogon showing the correlated evolution of pollination traits.

In Mesoamerican cloud forests, such as this one in the El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve in Mexico, climate change and deforestation are leading to plant species moving upslope. However, an analysis of forest plant traits from across the tropical Americas suggests that forests are not changing fast enough to keep up with climate change.

Scientists say amid climate change and biodiversity loss, the world’s herbaria could hold the keys to overcoming the crises in their folders of dried plant specimens.

But their future is in question amid cuts to research and education funding:
