WildTypeWriter, Scientists at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew named 74 new #plants and 15 #fungi new to #science last year, including:
- an #orchid that grows atop a volcano;
- #trees that grow mostly underground;
- a possibly carnivorous plant; and
- a fungi that grows in #Antarctica.
If we catalogued almost 100 species in #2023 alone, imagine how many still await discovery…
…And how many habitat loss and #ClimateChange will destroy before we know them.
