Pauridia has an interesting distribution spread between southern Africa and Australia. They grow from corms. The flowers come in yellow, white, or orange, sometimes with eyespots. This is P. capensis from the Cape Region of S. Africa. 📷: Jenny CCBYNC4 #Hypoxidaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

In vitro propagation of woody semi-mangrove species is often constrained by explant contamination, browning and stage-specific morphogenic responses. The authors examined how explant developmental state, basal-medium strength and plant growth regulators affected in vitro establishment and regeneration responses in Heritiera littoralis.

Grevillea papillosa, stems read with green leaves and small clusters of flowers with red bases that grade up to a white apex.

Many flowers with some of the red parts more obvious like the red styles

While many of the leaves are simple, they can have divided leaves, here the photo depicts a branch with some simple leaves and some leaves divided into 2 lobes!
