The women honoured in flowering plant genera: From myth to reality Open
Societal Impact Statement Many flowering plant genera are named for people, but there is a gender gap in this naming, with only 6% of eponyms honouring women. Here we explore this gap by examining in detail women for whom plant genera are …

Population genetic structure of Phaedranassa cinerea Ravenna (Amaryllidaceae) and conservation implications Open
Phaedranassa cinerea shows lower genetic diversity than related species, with the most variation within populations. We identified two to four genetic groups, suggesting recent divergence along the ridges of the western Andes. The findings…
