FIGURE 1 in New records of riverweeds (Podostemaceae) from the tropical Andes (Ecuador and Colombia): getting our feet wet to bypass collection bias in Neotropical rivers

FIGURE 1. Podostemaceae recorded in fast-flowing aquatic ecosystems in Andean rivers of Ecuador and Colombia. a) Lophogyne cf. aeruginosa collected in Saloya River in Ecuador. The habit, prostrate stem, flowers each subtended by a spathella, stamens (two) on one side of ovary, lack of andropodium, and capsular fruits are shown. b) Tristicha trifaria collected in Ancho River in Colombia (top), Arenal River in Colombia (bottom left), and in Caoni River, Ecuador (bottom center and bottom right). The habit, tristichous leaves (photosynthetic shootlets or ramuli), stigmas (three), bracts (two) enclosing the flower before anthesis, the single stamen in a flower, and capsular fruits are shown. Information on the specific localities is in Table 1.Published as part of Bedoya, Ana M. & Pérez, Álvaro J., 2023, New records of riverweeds (Podostemaceae) from the tropical Andes (Ecuador and Colombia): getting our feet wet to bypass collection bias in Neotropical rivers, pp. 274-280 in Phytotaxa 585 (4) on page 275, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.585.4.3, http://zenodo.org/record/770382
