🌟We are very excited to launch #FlatwormWatch , our new Citizen Science project on non-native species! 🪴

It aims at gathering observations of flatworms 🪱 in Belgium thanks to the help of gardeners and naturalists 🔍👩‍🌾

📌More information: iasregulation.be/flatwormwatch

Nomenclatural revision and typification of extra-Amazonian Tachigali ( #Fabaceae ). There were 32 names reviewed, 15 lectotypifications, 12 species, one new combination, and one nomen dubium.
