The epiphyllous habit in the hepatic genus Frullania [PDF]
, 1999 We report for the first time 11 species of Frullania growing as epiphylls in New Zealand, New Caledonia, and Colombia . Also listed are 29 Frullania species that have previously been recorded growing as epiphylls in other regions of the world.

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Evidence for the ongoing biodiversity crisis rests on assessment of a small fraction of described species, with major knowledge gaps for most organisms, including plants. Here, we highlight how digitised herbarium specimens can be used to accelerate and improve estimates of recent and ongoing plant extinctions.

Da Vinci's mischief: xylem conduits in the stems of woody plants do not furcate
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary The hydraulic architecture of plants is often modeled as a ‘furcating’ network, in which xylem conduits proliferate in number toward the stem apex, analogous to animal circulatory systems. Yet whether furcation actually occurs within woody stems remains untested, despite major implications for carbon costs and hydraulic efficiency.

Scientific results of the Bryotrop expedition to Zaire and Rwanda : 7., life strategies of epiphytic bryophytes from tropical lowland and montane forests, ericaceous woodlands and the Dendrosenecio subpáramo of the eastern Congo basin and the adjacent mountains (Parc National de Kahuzi-Biega/Zaire, Forêt de Nyungwe/Rwanda) [PDF]
, 1995 Life strategies of epiphytic bryophytes are studied along an altitudinal gradient from the eastern Congo basin (tropical lowland zone) to the mountains of the East-African graben (tropical subalpine/alpine Zone; BRYOTROP III-transect).
