The renaming of Asclepias xysmalobioides with Asclepias montevaga (Apocynaceae, Asclepiadoideae)
Phytotaxa, 2015 Asclepias xysmalobioides Hilliard & B.L. Burtt (1986: 193) is a later homonym of Asclepias xysmalobioides S. Moore (1912: 342). There are no valid synonyms available, and so we propose the new name Asclepias montevaga M. Glen, Nicholas & Bester here.

Diverse Prairie Mixtures Stabilize Biomass Yields for Sustainable Aviation Fuel Production
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Meeting global demand for sustainable aviation fuel will require the additional production of vast quantities of plant biomass, which does not compete with food production or degrade sensitive ecosystems. Our multisite experiment shows that sowing diverse native prairie seed mixes—and managing them without intensive inputs—yields a more reliable ...
