New Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 1, Page 369-387, July 2025.Summary The butterfly‐shaped keel flower is a highly successful floral form in angiosperms. These flowers steer the mechanical interaction with bees and thus are hypothesized to accelerate pollinator‐driven diversification. The exceptionally labile evolution of keel flowers in Papilionoideae (Fabaceae) provides a suitable system to test this hypothesis.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 603-620, May 2025.Humans and honey bees have a long history of interaction to yield valued products and services. However, honey bees are under pressure from changes in vegetation, agricultural practices and climate change. We investigate if pasture legumes can be harnessed to support honey bees. We use a diverse set of species that originated from the Mediterranean and

South African Journal of Botany, 2013 AbstractThe jequirity bean (Abrus precatorius) is well known because of its shiny black and red coloured seeds and because of the poison (abrin) it contains. The genus Abrus is placed in a monogeneric tribe Abreae which is placed in a relatively isolated systematic position at the base of Millettieae.
