Diagram showing the number of tree species and the estimated tree population of the world in 2022.
“The number of tree species and individuals per continent in the Global Forest Biodiversity Initiative (GFBI) database. This dataset (blue points in the central map) was used for the parametric estimation and merged with the TREECHANGE occurrence-based data (purple points in the central map) to provide the estimates in this study. Green areas represent the global tree cover. GFBI consists of abundance-based records of 38 million trees for 28,192 species. Depicted here are some of the most frequent species recorded in each continent. Some GFBI and TREECHANGE points may overlap in the map. Image credit: Gatti et al., doi: 10.1073/pnas.2115329119.“

This is for science; I want to know how many people know what moss is!
Please reblog when you vote and indicate your reasoning in the tags or comments! I'm trying to see what a good avenue for outreach would be.

So I was looking up cattails and found out they were edible but then I also found out that they get mistaken for irises.
So far I found that...
Cattails are round at the stem, round when cut in half and have tan/white/beige roots.
Irises tend to have a fanning stem, are oval-shaped when cut in half and have pink/purple roots.
The problem with the confusion is that irises are poisonous and cattails are completely edible so if you don't see the cigar topper the risk is super there.
Be careful
