News: Missouri Botanist Rediscovers Strange Parasitic Plant
ST. LOUIS — A scientist with the Missouri Botanical Garden has rediscovered and identified a rare parasitic plant that hasn't been seen by botanists in more than 20 years. A single specimen of the plant was found in Mexico in 1985, but the plant wasn't seen again until St. Louis botanist George Yatskievych and a colleague found it in a pine oak forest in Mexico's mountains. The plant, which he is identifying and naming for the first time, is not a classic beauty.discuss | | category: News | Content type: Text/Pictures | Add this link to... | tell a friend | bakwaas
