minus-squareTropicalDingdong@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8arrow-down1·3 months agoYou really had to bring that up? This is a meme sub and you thought it was ok to bring politics here?
minus-squareangrystego@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·3 months agoSorry, I kind of thought it was not as hot. I mean, compared to the whole African vs. Australian Acacia affair - oops!
minus-squareTropicalDingdong@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down1·3 months agoI was kidding. Although I have legitimately seen one entire career come tumbling during the advent of molecular plant phylogeny.

I tried to play along, but I guess text is not the right medium for that :D And yeah, molecular phylogeny is the source of real drama sometimes ;) If only Stapelias Ceropegias could talk…

There’s that one species of cactus that exists outside the US but there are hundreds of portulacas and they exist all over the place. Is it about invasive species?
