A #botany achievement: I determined my first #Palicourea #Rubiaceae specimen to species- P. atlantica!! But my collaborator and coffee family mentor Charlotte Taylor’s name still made it to the label, since she is an author of the species.

May not seem like much, but feels like a big deal to me! 🤓

I'm guessing suggestive plants:

Palicourea elata (hooker lips)

Or

Nepenthes holdenii

🐝🌸 New article in @aobp.bsky.social addressing how coflowering between two closely related Palicourea species in the Brazilian Cerrado influences pollination dynamics.

Good science news: my @lsubiosci.bsky.social graduate student Aislinn Mumford was awarded a Fellowship in Tropical Botany from the Garden Club of America!! Now she'll get to go to Colombia 🇨🇴 this summer to conduct research on #Palicourea. 🥳

Enjoy this picture of her enjoying temperate botany 😅.

Perfect placement PG 😉 😊

-then I saw this plant and thought of you...👄 🤫

Say "hi" and give a follow to the newest Bluesky scientists from the #LagoLab- @evoyeyo.bsky.social, @laymonstera.bsky.social, and @lcorleto08.bsky.social!

Yes my friends, this is real. It's a Palicourea elata from Central America. I've never actually seen one, and I can assure you that if I did, I would not kiss it.

Nice Palicourea you got! Where are y’all going?
January 17, 2025 at 4:25 AM
Même problème ici, et j'en ai une qui après avoir suivi les conseils d'une influenceuse (comprendre : une plante à grosses lèvres), s'est mise à renverser le chat... Je sais plus quoi faire. 😟

Palicourea elata

Most notable for its distinctly shaped red bracts, which are considered its most flashy feature, though they are not the actual flowers of the plant but instead extravagant leaves. Just like human lips, this plant comes in a variety of shapes

3) This is the first of what will become very many #LagoLab published collaborations with Charlotte Taylor on evolution of #Rubiaceae.

More are in the pipeline…check out Ana Bedoya’s preprint on #Palicourea macroevolution, which used this probe set! ecoevorxiv.org/repository/vie…

Next, we inferred phylogeny of #Palicourea (#Rubiaceae) and found biogeography, climate and floral traits drive evolution in this ecologically important clade. In collab with Charlotte Taylor, and lead by Ana Bedoya with Aislinn Mumford and Laymon Ball. ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...
