Unraveling cryptic lineages in Jatropha nana: phylogenetic evidence supports species status for J. benghalensis (Euphorbiaceae)

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
The taxonomic framework of the genus Jatropha (Euphorbiaceae) is well established, but its geophytic species present significant classification challenges. These difficulties arise from species complexes, cryptic traits, and high environmental and phenotypic variability.

New Naturalized Flowering Plant Records for the Flora of Niue

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
Field surveys of the flora of Niue have identified ten new records of naturalized plants and clarification of the status of an earlier record. Four new records are not known to have been cultivated in Niue, with three the herbs Cardamine flexuosa With., Dentella repens (L.) J.R.Forst. & G.Forst., and Strobilanthes reptans (G.Forst.)

Secrets within stems: The cryptic Apodanthes caseariae (Apodanthaceae), a rare neotropical holoendoparasite

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 385-400, March 2026.
Holoendoparasites are extremely rare plants that live entirely hidden inside their hosts, with only flowers and fruits visible. We studied Apodanthes caseariae, found in central and South America, parasitizing Casearia sylvestris. Little is known about its life cycle.

CsAP3: a cucumber homolog to Arabidopsis APETALA3 with novel characteristics

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
In our previous efforts to understand the regulatory mechanisms of cucumber unisexual flower development, we observed a stamen-specific down-regulation of the ethylene receptor CsETR1 in stage 6 female flowers of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L).

Brazil's Invisible Invaders: Are Craspedacusta Jellyfish a Ticking Ecological Bomb?

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The invasive freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbii, likely of Asian origin, is globally distributed, yet its invasion history in South America remains poorly understood. Following a mass mortality event of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) during a jellyfish bloom in Paraná, Brazil, in March 2022, we conducted morphological and molecular ...

Dismantling the genus Tarenna (Rubiaceae: Pavetteae) in Africa and Madagascar, with the description of three new genera

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract As presently circumscribed, the Paleotropical genus Tarenna, belonging to the tribe Pavetteae (Rubiaceae), comprises about 200 species and has its centres of diversity in tropical Asia and Africa. Previous molecular phylogenetic studies of the tribe revealed the polyphyly of Tarenna, suggesting that the genus needs to be recircumscribed ...
