More Science Than Art: The First Botanical Garden in Portugal (c. 1650)

open access: yesRenaissance Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gabriel Grisley, a German physician, came to Portugal and founded a garden near the Xabregas River in Lisbon, during the 1610s under the Spanish kings' rule. In view of the utility a botanic garden represented for the kingdom, he was able to obtain a royal privilege from King João IV during the Restauration War against the Spanish (1640–1668).

A Critique of the Taxonomy of Subtribe Celmisiinae (Asteraceae: Tribe Astereae) With New Combinations in Pleurophyllum Hook.f. sens. lat. and Shawia hesperia (Heenan & Molloy) Heenan comb. nov.

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 4, December 2026.
This review is of the recently revised circumscriptions of the Pleurophyllum Hook.f. group and Shawia J.R.Forst. & G.Forst. of subtribe Celmisiinae, both centred in New Zealand. Recognition of Shawia is supported, and phylogenetic data recover seven well‐supported subclades treated as infrageneric sections.

Safety Assessment and Hypoglycemic Effect of Moringa oleifera Lam. Seed Lectin (WSMoL) in Alloxan‐Induced Diabetic Mice

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 46, Issue 11, Page 3973-3988, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Moringa oleifera Lam. seeds contain WSMoL, a lectin previously studied for toxicity and pharmacological effects. In this study, we investigated WSMoL (10, 25, or 50 mg/kg i.p.) for acute and 14‐day repeated‐dose toxicity, as well as genotoxicity, in Swiss mice.

Morphological Characteristics of Radical Leaves in the Serpentine Ecotype of Adenophora triphylla var. japonica (Campanulaceae) Revealed by Cultivation Experiments

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 41, Issue 6, November 2026.
We tested whether the distinctive radical‐leaf morphology of the serpentine ecotype of Adenophora triphylla var. japonica is due to phenotypic plasticity or genetic differentiation. The results suggest that lamina thickening is plastic for water storage, while reduced lamina size and modified petiole traits are genetically fixed adaptations to reduce ...
