Nice outcome of this paper is that Thismia kobensis is just another Thismia species that behaves as normal plant species (i.e. it has multiple localities). Thismia is probably not extremely rare as popularly believed but just extremely overlooked and hard to find.
Range‐wide sampling reveals cryptic lineages but largely conserved #mycorrhizal associations in the #Japanese fairy lantern Thismia kobensis

Orobanche cooperi is another holoparasitic Orobanchaceae from southwestern North America. Isn’t it fantastic? A bad-ass beauty! #parasite #Orobanchaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Here are 2 entities known as a very variable taxon, #Corybas pictus #Orchidaceae. [Left] A lowland “variant” from Borneo, and [Right] A clone very common in cultivation and likely a highland “variant”. Do you think they are the same? Please let me know what you think 🤔

#Gastrodia sabahensis is a small but quite colourfull mycoheterotrophic orchid. It was once thought it is endemic to small area around Sandakan ( #Sabah, north #Borneo) but we found it also in #Brunei. Now we found it at the type locality in Kebun Cina, Sandakan after 20+ years.

I'm having a proud supervisor moment as the Czech media currently sharing results of bachelor thesis on adventive flora of Olomouc city by Věra Kafková.
#botany #Czechia #neophytes
Celkem 19 druhů rostlin dosud nezaznamenaných v ČR objevila při průzkumu širšího centra Olomouce studentka Přírodovědecké fakulty Univerzity Palackého Věra Kafková. Ulice města systematicky mapovala dva roky.

Objev tak velkého počtu nových druhů je podle odborníků výjimečný. irozhl.as/whC
Výjimečný objev studentky. V Olomouci vyhledala 19 druhů rostlin dosud nezaznamenaných v Česku
Mezi její nejvýznamnější objevy patří tráva milička (Eragrostis virescens), původem z Ameriky, která je jedním z nových druhů na území Česka.
