The large Gunnera's (G. tinctoria and G. manicata) in Europe in relation to EU regulation 1143/2014.

Incorrect labelling of plants in the horticultural trade and misidentification is widespread. For the inspection services of the EU member states, correct identification of G. tinctoria has become important since the species was added to the List of Union concern in accordance with EU regulation 1143/2014 in August 2017.

Using structured eradication feasibility assessment to prioritize the management of new and emerging invasive alien species in Europe.

Prioritizing the management of invasive alien species (IAS) is of global importance and within Europe integral to the EU IAS regulation. To prioritize management effectively, the risks posed by IAS need to be assessed, but so too does the feasibility of their management. While the risk of IAS to the EU has been assessed, the feasibility of management has not.

Pollen morphology of the African (Arecaceae).

Three currently accepted species appear to produce four different pollen morphologies. and pollen share the same distinct reticulate sculpture, but produces three different pollen types (microreticulate, fossulate, and perforate). The pollen morphology suggests that and are sister taxa of the same intrageneric lineage.

fossils from the late Oligocene of Chilga, north-western Ethiopia.

The palm family, Arecaceae, is notoriously depauperate in Africa today, and its evolutionary, paleobiogeographic, and extinction history there are not well documented by fossils. In this article we report the pollen of two new extinct species of the small genus, (Arecoideae), from a late Oligocene (27-28 Ma) stratum exposed along the Guang River in Chilga Wereda of north-western Ethiopia. The pollen are triporate, and the two taxa can be distinguished from each other and from modern species using a combination of light and scanning electron microscopy, which reveals variations in the finer details of their reticulate to perforate exine sculpture.
