Observation by my student Věra Kafková is an #observationoftheday on @inaturalist.bsky.social 😍

A new paper by I.M. Turner published today in #EJBotany #OpenAccess @thebotanics.bsky.social includes 85 new typifications and nomenclatural clarifications from #G.E.Rumphius’s #HerbariumAmboinense posthumously published between 1741-1750: rbge.cc/47jg8Gh

According to our colleagues, it flowers in January. So not really good time now. I can ask them to put the flowers in spirit once they appear if you wish.

The flora of Brunei is extremely rich but there is only very few observations of plants when compared e.g. with Singapore. Also the AI ID tool is not working well. We want to change it with the involvment of #UBD students and nature lovers from Brunei.

Last week we have launched @inaturalist.bsky.social project for Brunei flora. Please feel free to join (in that case let me know, I'll let you in) and help with IDs.

Doesn't really look the same to me. How about the leaf coloration pattern? I've seen this one last week in Brunei.

Here are 2 entities known as a very variable taxon, #Corybas pictus #Orchidaceae. [Left] A lowland “variant” from Borneo, and [Right] A clone very common in cultivation and likely a highland “variant”. Do you think they are the same? Please let me know what you think 🤔

This is the link to our paper describing the discovery in #Brunei👇🏻

doi.org/10.11646/phy...

#Gastrodia sabahensis is a small but quite colourfull mycoheterotrophic orchid. It was once thought it is endemic to small area around Sandakan ( #Sabah, north #Borneo) but we found it also in #Brunei. Now we found it at the type locality in Kebun Cina, Sandakan after 20+ years.

Close-up of Muscari comosum in flower. The inflorescence shows a dense terminal tuft of sterile, vivid violet to bluish-purple flowers, contrasting with the lower, widely spaced, drooping fertile flowers that are pale brownish-yellow with darker tips. The background is a natural, grassy habitat with rocks.

🌱 Just published! I am thrilled to see our Flora of Greece treatment for the genus #Muscari (Asparagaceae) online.

Tacca cristata from Penang, Malaysia. Endemic to Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore.

Small yellow flower of Thismia with three tepals with long appendage and three tepals with short appendage.

We teamed up with Siti Munirah from FRIM Kepong to find #Thismia in #Penang island, Malaysia. And we found it!

1/3 Letošní konference ČBS proběhne v Praze v termínu 22. 11. – 23. 11. 2025, a sice na téma "Český botanický výzkum v zahraničí". Byl prodloužen termín pro příhlášení příspěvků, přednášek a posterů, a to do 31. 8. Máte-li tedy možnost a chuť prezentovat svůj zahraniční botanický výzkum, neváhejte.

I'm having a proud supervisor moment as the Czech media currently sharing results of bachelor thesis on adventive flora of Olomouc city by Věra Kafková.

🧵1/5 Botanical visit to the Krkonoše Mountains, the highest mountain range in Czechia. Peat bogs with Pedicularis sudetica (type locality) and Andromeda polifolia.

With the last flowering #Ornithogalum brevistylum, my fieldwork in Europe is finally over

1/3 Letos byla poprvé udělena Cena Víta Grulicha. Ocenění z rukou Pavla Lustyka a Milana Chytrého převzala u příležitosti zahájení floristického kurzu Věra Kafková. Blahopřejeme!

Wow, so something undescribed

Is it Viola arsenica or something else?

The famous Viola allchariensis, a steno-endemic species to Allchar in North Macedonia.

Is Leucojum aestivum promoted by grazing? On the grazed wet grassland in the Sava floodplain in Serbia, we have found that cattle avoid this plant. While other plants are heavily grazed, the Leucojum tussocks remain intact.

What's better than celebrate the #TaxonomyRecognitionDay in room full of taxonomists? I had great time at 15th Symposium on the flora of southeastern Serbia and neighboring regions in Niš last three days.
