10 #Myrtaceae genera have been newly added to the online #FloraOfAustralia – Aluta, Anticoryne, Astartea, Astus, Austrobaeckea, Balaustion, Cheyniana, Enekbatus, Ericomyrtus and Euryomyrtus. That’s >100 taxon profiles available at https://profiles.ala.org.au/opus/foa/profile/Myrtaceae
It's been a pleasure to work with Myrtaceae maven Barbara Rye to mobilise this research with the help of #WAHerbarium recruit Charlotte Ely.
Project funded via an Australian Biological Resources Study grant. More to come! #Taxonomy

I don’t often stop and smell the roses, but I always try and stop to watch the #Triggerplants.
#Stylidium squamosotuberosum just seen in action south of Margaret River – just look at the size of the pollen load on this native bee! #Pollination #FloraofAustralia

#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
