Booted Macaque

The Booted Macaque (Macaca ochreata) is a species in the genus Macaca. It is currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

Common bee brush (<em>Aloysia gratissima</em>) is a flowering shrub native to a diverse range of terrestrial tropical and temperate habitats. Its documented range includes Brazil and South Africa, reflecting a disjunct distribution across the Southern Hemisphere. The plant is a member of the family Verbenaceae and is known for its small, fragrant white flowers that attract bees and other pollinators, lending it the common name bee brush. <em>Aloysia gratissima</em> typically grows in open scrublands, forest margins, and disturbed areas, often tolerating poor soils and variable moisture conditions. Its aromatic foliage has been used in traditional medicine and as a flavoring agent in certain regions. The species is generally drought-tolerant and may form dense thickets in suitable environments. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
