The fruit of Ibicella lutea hooks onto passing hooves and ankles, but less painfully than that of some #Pedaliaceae . As the animal walks, seeds spill out of the capsule. Paired apical hooks or spurs are characteristic of #Martyniaceae . #dispersal 📷: Margaret Donald CCBYNCND2

My largest Brassia verrucosa! The species is native to Mexico, Central America, Venezuela, and Brazil. Orchids in this genus are often referred to as “spider orchids” due to the shape of their flowers. #orchids #orchids pecies #nature #ecology #flowers #plants #botany #epiphytes

Congratulations and 🤞

These otherworldly things are... legumes! What you see are two fruits from the genus Scorpiurus. The name derives from the Latin 'scorpius' -Scorpion- and the ancient Greek 'urus' -tail-, clearly referring to the shape of the spiny recurved legumes. Luckily these don't sting!
