Clavija is a Neotropical genus of 56 spp, some of which, like this C. weberbaueri, are litter-trapping Schopfbaum treelets. They have strappy leaves in rosettes that capture litter. For more information on litter-trapping, see our paper: doi.org/10.1111/boj....

Quite perturbed that no one seems to care about climate change which is the biggest threat to humanity. Fast track energy projects profiting the rich, military expansion while cutting already strained social programs. This is all going to crash down on our heads. Does anyone even give a shit?
