Diversification of the stem vascular system in a clade of recent radiation & multiple habit transitions: The #Bunchosia clade (#Malpighiaceae)

New #AJB research by @angelicaqc.bsky.social, Andre Amorim & Marcelo Pace

doi.org/10.1002/ajb2... #botany #plantscience #lianas
Phylogenetic mapping of stem ontogeny in the Bunchosia clade (Malpighiaceae), displaying transverse stem sections from apex to base across multiple species. The image illustrates five distinct developmental pathways that lead to diverse vascular configurations, including both regular secondary growth and various vascular variants. In the legend, below each vascular variant, representative developmental stages are shown, depicting the sequential anatomical changes that result in the final vascular configuration. The image highlights how ontogenetic modifications contribute to the evolutionary diversification of stem anatomy within the clade.

The band playing "Fortunate Son" might have been the best part of the whole parade. In case you don't know the lyrics, here they are. A perfect gift for a flawed man.
