Read more  Stigmatodactylus antennatus Schuit., Saputra & Wanma,in Schuiteman, Saputra, Wanma et Heatubun, 2026. DOI: doi.org/10.3390/plants15040589   facebook.com/Rezamonium AbstractTwo species of Stigmatodactylus have recently been observed in the Arfak Mountains of West Papua Province, Indonesian New Guinea. One of these is clearly undescribed and is here described as Stigmatodactylus antennatus Schuit., Saputra & Wanma, a species uniquely characterised by the presence of a pair of antennae on the lip. The other is believed to be S. gibbsiae (Kores) Kores. This species was only known from the type material collected in the Arfak Mountains more than a century ago, in 1913. There are, however, significant discrepancies between the protologue and the material recently found. We interpret these discrepancies as misinterpretations of the poor type material of S. gibbsiae, and provide images based on fresh material. An identification key to the four species of Stigmatodactylus in New Guinea is included.Keywords: Acianthus; Arfak mountains; identification key; taxonomy  Stigmatodactylus antennatus.  (A) Plant habit; (B) flower; (C) dorsal sepal; (D) lateral sepal; (E) petal; (F) lip; (G) lip callus; (H) column.

Read more Scientists are exploring an exciting idea for future space missions: building structures on the Moon using the Moon’s own soil. A new study shows that simulated lunar dirt can be turned into strong, heat-resistant materials with a special type of 3D printing, potentially reducing the need to transport heavy construction supplies from Earth.
