Hypericum sechmenii (Seçmen's St John's wort) is a rare species of
flowering plant in the
St John's wort family that is found in
Eskişehir Province in central Turkey. It was first described and assigned to the genus Hypericum in 2009, and was later placed into the section Adenosepalum. H. sechmenii is a
perennial herb that grows 3 to 6 centimeters (1 to 2 inches) tall and blooms in June and July. The stems of the plant are smooth and hairless, while the leaves are leathery and lack
leafstalks. Its flowers are arranged in
corymbs, and each has five bright yellow petals. Similar species are H. huber-morathii, H. minutum, and H. thymopsis. Found among
limestone rocks, H. sechmenii has an estimated distribution of less than 10 square kilometers (4 square miles), with fewer than 250 surviving plants. Despite containing
druse crystals and toxic chemicals that may deter
herbivory, the species is threatened by
overgrazing, as well as climate change and habitat loss. (Full article...)

The village weaver (Ploceus cucullatus) is a species of bird in the family
Ploceidae. It is found in much of sub-Saharan Africa and has been
introduced to some islands in the Indian Ocean and the Caribbean. Village weavers forage and
roost in large groups, often with other weaver species. In some areas, they move periodically along fixed routes. The birds look for food on the ground, but also look up to search vegetation and trees. Village weavers nest in colonies and are very active during the breeding season. Birds fly in and leave again constantly, making significant noise. Colonies can contain as many as 150 nests, but eight to a hundred nests in a single tree are usual. This male village weaver was photographed in
Kakum National Park, Ghana.
Hurricane Beryl, the earliest-recorded
Category 5 Atlantic hurricane in a calendar year, leaves at least 15 people dead in the
Caribbean, Venezuela, and the United States.
