One of my #gardening goals is to increase shade cover for cooling in summer. I planted two rock correa today that should grow 1.5m tall. One is in front of a very sunny wall & I’m hoping it’ll eventually break the heat for us. In the meantime I love the dark glossy green leaves with the nearby purple swan #daisies #AustralianPlants

Today we bid farewell to the monotypic Western Australian genus Corynanthera (represented by C. flava), which has been transferred to Micromyrtus by #Myrtaceae stalwarts Barbara Rye and Peter Wilson https://florabase.dpaw.wa.gov.au/science/nuytsia/1040.pdf

I recently photographed this species in Watheroo National Park with Charlotte Ely, who made the first collection for #WAHerbarium since 2005 #Botany #Taxonomy #AustralianPlants

A few species of #Hibbertia (#Dilleniaceae) from my recent fieldwork around Sydney, New South Wales. Showcasing just a taste of the diversity of the androecium. #AustralianPlants #taxonomy #plants #botany

#Introduction. Greetings from SW Australia where it’s easy to get overwhelmed by breath-taking biodiversity. I’m a plant taxonomist at #WAHerbarium, currently synthesizing >2 decades of work on the #Triggerplant family #Stylidiaceae for #FloraofAustralia, with a phylogenomic framework coming down the pike. Tooting mostly about #AustralianPlants, #Botany, #Taxonomy, #Herbaria and #Conservation

#Introduction: Hi everyone! I'm a plant taxonomist & systematist doing a post-doc at the University of Adelaide and State Herbarium of South Australia. I am currently working on the phylogenomics of the diverse Australian genus Hibbertia (Dilleniaceae), as well as writing the Flora of Australia treatment for the genus & family. My toots will be primarily about #AustralianPlants, #Botany, #ScientificCollections (#Herbaria), #Taxonomy & #Phylogenetics.
