One ping only

Oops. This is the real link.

Interesting, any notion as to their demise in the first place?

[Liberty Valance]

Is this possibly a re-awakening of seed due to heavy wild fires or flooding?

[There You Go Again]

This GREAT news...I've always wanted to see the herb Teucrium ajugaceum...but thought I was born a century too late....oh I am so happy.....

[Ciexyz]

Good news bump.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Good. Let’s burn them for bio fuels.

I wonder if we need to take all the environmentalists and march them around the world categorizing everything. How many species on the “extinct” list might not be extinct? (Ivory billed woodpecker, for example). Or endangered species that aren’t really endangered?
If they can find it after several human generations, they weren’t looking hard enough.

[eyedigress]

LOL! It's not nice to fool mother nature!

[Know et al]

Perhaps the herb can one day cure liberalism. I can hope can’t I?

[count-your-change]

It takes a “hundred experts” to report two plants were found? Outstanding!

[steelyourfaith]

" "The Rhaphidospora cavernarum, which is a large herb that stands about one and a half meters high, has reappeared," state climate change minister Andrew McNamara told Australian Broadcasting Corp radio.

Climate Change Minister?
We're screwed.

 

Beam me to Planet Gore !

It’s worse - his full title is actually the Minister for Sustainability, Climate Change and Innovation.

[allmendream]

A great man once said that the closest thing we as human beings have seen in the way of immortality was a government program.

That makes “Minister for Sustainability (socialism), Climate Change (no using resources peasants), and Innovation (government waste)” even more frightening.

[uglybiker]

Almost as cool as finding the Wollemi Pine.

[Fred Nerks]

It’s worse - his full title is actually the Minister for Sustainability, Climate Change and Innovation.

And there I was, hoping for our very own Minister For the Protection of Morality and the Prevention of Vice.

[Hot Tabasco]

"Psssst! Rhaphidospora!"

"Yo! Whassup Teucrium ?"

"We been busted, now where do we go?"

[Old Student]

“And there I was, hoping for our very own Minister For the Protection of Morality and the Prevention of Vice.”

I do not see a sarcasm tag. Did you forget something? Or are you just depending on our discernment and perception?

(prepares flamethrowers, sends out a call to viking and other kitties...)
