He was not in mourning from the Crows loss. Margaret and I were giving the main talk on a visit to northern NSW and these days when we do such visits we are often asked for advice on names, never on culture. I wonder why? As such the meeting was on a querying note, where members had to have their brains in gear.

  • Bromelicolous Habit of Three Species of Rhinella Fitzinger, 1826 (Anura: Bufonidae) in Northeastern Brazil’S Atlantic Forest
    Herpetology Notes, volume 14: 903-906 (2021) (published online on 24 June 2021) Bromelicolous habit of three species of Rhinella Fitzinger, 1826 (Anura: Bufonidae) in Northeastern Brazil’s Atlantic Forest Ubiratã Ferreira Souza1,*, Alan Pedro de Araújo2,3, Alcina Gabriela Maria Medeiros da Fonsêca Santos1, and Marcos Jorge Matias Dubeux4 Understanding habitat types and how organisms bromeliads for breeding can still use them as shelter (i.e., make use of them, is crucial for identifying factors bromelicolous; sensu Peixoto, 1995). Bromelicolous that determine species distribution and community habit can be recurrent (e.g., Scinax pachycrus [Araújo composition (Kopp and Eterovick, 2006; Pittman et et al., 2020], Nyctimantis brunoi [Peixoto, 1995]) or al., 2014). The phytotelmata are plant structures that opportunistic – when the anuran uses this phytotelm accumulate rainwater (e.g., bromeliad tanks, tree holes, occasionally (Peixoto, 1995; Andrade et al., 2009). bamboo internodes, axils and floral bracts; see Kitching, Among the four genera of bufonids occurring in 2000). Such structures provide microhabitats for fungi, the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (Segalla et al., 2019), microalgae, and both invertebrate and vertebrate Dendrophryniscus Jiménez-de-la-Espada, 1870, animals (Maguire, 1971; Ramos et al., 2018, 2019).

  • An Alphabetical List of Bromeliad Binomials
    AN ALPHABETICAL LIST OF BROMELIAD BINOMIALS Compiled by HARRY E. LUTHER The Marie Selby Botanical Gardens Sarasota, Florida, USA ELEVENTH EDITION Published by the Bromeliad Society International June 2008 ii INTRODUCTION TO EDITION XI This list is presented as a spelling guide for validly published taxa accepted at the Bromeliad Identification Center. The list contains the following information: 1) Genus number (the left-hand number) based on the systematic sequence published in the Smith & Downs monograph: Bromeliaceae (Flora Neotropica, number 14, parts 1-3; 1974, 1977, 1979). Whole numbers are as published in the monograph. 2) Species number (the second number) according to its systematic position in the monograph. Note: Taxa not included in the monograph or that have been reclassified have been assigned numbers to reflect their systematic position within the Smith & Downs framework (e.g., taxon 14.1 is related to taxon 14). The utility of this method is that one may assume for example that Tillandsia comarapaensis (150.2) is related to T. didisticha (150) and therefore may have certain horticultural qualities in common with that species. 3) Genus and species names follow the respective numbers. 4) Subspecific taxa (subspecies, varieties, forms) names are indented below the species names. Note: Variety "a" (the type variety) is not listed unless it contains a form (see Aechmea caudata ). Similarly, the type form is not listed. 5) Author name follows the specific and subspecific names. These names are included for the convenience of specialist users of the list. This list does not contain publication data or synonymy, as it is not our intent for it to be a technical nomenclatural guide.
