Elephant bell gourd (Trichosanthes tricuspidata)

Elephant bell gourd ( Trichosanthes tricuspidata ) is a plant species in the Cucurbitaceae, stems grow elongated to propagate or climb, many branches, cylindrical in shape and green in color. T. cochinchinensis has stem tips or branches that twist to attach themselves to a support or other plant. It grows to climb to cover a support, usually on another plant, up to several meters and creeps along the ground to reach another support. Arrow-shaped leaves, split base, sharp apex and two wings at an acute angle, have many veins ending at a sharp edge, green and have a long petiole. Single flower is white. The fruit is round to oval, ends with a tail, young green and turns red with maturity, thin skin, thick flesh and reddish yellow, has a short stalk and hangs. The seeds are in the middle of the fruit. Seeds are white, oval and flat. Black coated seeds. Elephant bell gourd grows wild in primary and secondary forests, agricultural land, roadsides, watersheds, especially on slopes, damp a

Sea stars from sunken woods Caymanostella scrippscognaticausa, Caymanostella davidalani and Caymanostella loresae

NEWS - Three species of sea stars from specimens collected from sunken woods at several locations along the Pacific margin of Costa Rica and near the Gulf of California (Mexico): Scripps sea star ( Caymanostella scrippscognaticausa sp. nov.), David Alan Lewis sea star ( Caymanostella davidalani sp. nov.) and Lores López Gómez sea star ( Caymanostella loresae sp. nov.) Caymanostellidae Belyaev 1974 have been found in logs from sinkholes at depths ranging from ~414 m to 6780 m in the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans. The first described species C. spinimarginata Belyaev 1974 was collected in the Cayman Trench, Caribbean Sea, at depths of 6740-6780 m. Four species of Caymanostellidae are C. spinimarginata Belyaev 1974, C. admiranda Belyaev & Litvinova 1977, C. phorcynis Rowe 1989 and C. madagascarensis Belyaev & Litvinova 1991 which are morphologically identifiable based on the unique shape and arrangement of the abactinal plates, the shape of the abactinal spinelets, t

Soft scale insect, repens scale (Pulvinaria rhododendri), on Rhododendron spp. in Northern Europe

NEWS - Repens scale ( Pulvinaria rhododendri Kahrer & Hodgson, Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Coccidae) was discovered in Rhododendron spp. (Ericaceae) in Denmark and Norway which appears taxonomically close to P. camelicola Signoret and P. floccifera Westwood with an uncertain geographic origin, but is likely to have been introduced to northern Europe via imported live plants. P. rhododendri is distinguished from P. floccifera , P. camelicola and all other Pulvinaria species by a combination of characters-a medial band of large conical spinous setae extending from the anal plate anterior to the head and simple pores with strongly sclerotic margins present in a narrow medial band between the large conical spinous setae. The new species also differs from P. floccifera by the presence of a type III tubular canal submarginally between the lateral stigmatic clefts (vs. absent). The species is named after the genus of the host plant from which it is most commonly collected, Rhododendron
