Xanthosoma undipes, commonly known as Talas Beneng
Description[edit]
Xanthosoma undipes is known as "taro Beneng" in Banten, Indonesia. The term arose from a combination of the Sundanese language words "beuneur" and "koneng", meaning large and yellow, referring to the size and coloration of the plant's tubers.[1]
Range[edit]
Xanthosoma undipes is found in Central and South America. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela. As well as both the Windward and Leeward Islands.[2]
Habitat[edit]
Human interactions[edit]
Xanthosoma undipes has been researched for its commercial potential, having found use in both its leaves and tubers. All parts of the plant are used commercially, with it being easy to grow as a secondary crop as it requires little sunlight. The tubers which have a high carbohydrate content can be eaten raw or processed into flour or into chips. While the leaves can be used for herbal teas.[1] The juice from the raw roots have found use as an Anthelmintic.[2]

Johannesteijsmannia lanceolata, commonly known as the Slender Joey or the Narrow-leafed umbrella palm
Description[edit]
Johannesteijsmannia lanceolata is a medium sized palm that grows in the understory with lance-shaped leaves and no visible stem. It grows to a maximum 3.5 metres (11 ft) in height, with the crown of the plant growing to a maximum width of 5 metres (16 ft). The plant has no visible trunk, referred to as acaulescent in form, as the trunk is underground. The trunk is solitary and has leaf scars if visible. The large glossy leaves of the plant are 3.5 metres (11 ft) in length and has a width of 30 centimetres (12 in). The fronds are lance-shaped, the undersides are covered in soft brown scales, and the margins of the leaves are lined with small sharp teeth.[1]
Range[edit]
It is found in Malaysia.[1] It is found in the states of Negeri Sembilan, Pahang, and Selangor.[2]
Habitat[edit]
Etymology[edit]
The genus name honours Johannes Elias Teijsmann, a botanist formerly working at the Buitenzorg Botanical Gardens, currently known as the Bogor Botanical Gardens. The specific epithet, lanceolata, means "lance-shaped", and refers to the lance-shaped fronds that the tree has.[1]

Taxonomy[edit]
Scybalium fungiforme is a poorly known plant in the family Balanophoraceae. It is one of seven species of its family found in Brazil.[1]
It is commonly known by the name “cogumelo-de-caboclo” in Brazil.[1]
Description[edit]
Life history[edit]
Pollination[edit]
It was theorized by Professor Patrícia Morellato of the São Paulo State University in the 1990s that the flowers of Scybalium fungiforme were pollinated by possums. This was because of the fact that the flowers were covered by sturdy bracts, making it difficult for animals to be able to pollinate the flowers effectively. Opossums, with opposable thumbs, were potentially able to pollinate the flowers because of their dexterity.[2] Previous evidence of opossums with nectar on their snouts were unable to be recognized as evidence for the theory as there was no record of direct pollination by the opossums.[2] Doctor Felipe Amorim would hypothesize later on that because of the flower's morphology, it would potentially be pollinated by a non-flying animal. Anorim's students had hypothesized the plant's pollination by rodents.[2]
Observations in the Serra do Japi Biological Reserve in May of 2019 confirmed Morellato's theory. Cameras that were placed on the site observed opossums removing the plant's bracts before inserting their faces into the flowers in order to consume its nectar.[2]
Scybalium fungiforme's unique pollination syndrome entails possums, the plant's primary pollinator, who are uniquely capable of doing so, peeling the plants' bracts back in order to drink the plant's nectar. Secondary pollinators, such as bees, wasps, and hummingbirds, would then drink the exposed flowers' nectar. While the plant's morphology is suited for ground-dwelling predators, the discovery of hummingbird pollinators for the plant were surprising to researchers.[2]
