I have mixed feelings (panic, but also morbid curiosity and fascination) for people like Stephani or Rafinesque. Tropicos cites over 7,400 names with his authority. What a nightmare!

Prepping a lecture and out of curiosity I wanted to read how Betty Molesworth published the presence of /Psilotum nudum/ in Cádiz in 1966. Quite a succint note! The only locality of this species in Europe became a Mecca for Spanish botanists whose exact location is passed through generations

"A lack of awareness is connected to a lack of funding and high-impact publishing, which in turn creates a research gap that negatively impacts education and perpetuates a feedback loop."

My friend Jaime has perfected a system to honor this legacy: he harvests acorns in Fall, air-dries them till they crack, and grinds them into flour. Mixed with other grains, they make delicious acorn bread. A living link to Iberia's heritage!

/Pogonatum nanum/ and /Encalypta vulgaris/ near the Holly Forest of Garagüeta (Soria, Spain)
