How times change.
As a young biology student I thought the botanical excursions so boring. It felt like we spent ages on tiny plants, and really I was just there for zoology. I didn't get it.
Now I'm grateful I had these basics drilled into me, and as I grow more confident in foraging I find myself reaching for the Schmeil-Fitschen botanical key regularly. I hated this book because I never got anything right! I still get plenty wrong, but I find the details reassuring.

Scientists from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland are arguing that the massive and mysterious tubelike fossils known as "prototaxites" deserve their own life form classification because, basically, they're too weird to belong to any other. @Futurism has more, including why prototaxites have long been a head-scratcher and a point of contention for scientists who to this day cannot figure out their nature:

Four highlights from pavement and road verges in #Swindon this week for #WildflowerHour - Shining Cranesbill, Oxford Ragwort, Field Wood-rush and Wood Forgetmenot. The last of these will be a garden escape although it's a native species as well. #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

Pasqueflowers looking beautiful. #WildflowerHour

Here's a plant for which the #Sepals are a useful ID feature - Bulbous Buttercup in which the sepals fold back along the stem rather than clinging to the petals as in several other common buttercup species. #WildflowerHour #Swindon #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography
