Leptinella filiformis[edit]
Leptinella filiformis
- ... that the slender button daisy Leptinella filiformis (pictured) was thought by botanists to be extinct, but was rediscovered in 1998 growing on a hotel lawn? Source: "By the 1970s it was noted as rare and vulnerable, and in the 1980s it was no longer to be found in the wild, and was considered extinct. In November 1998 botanist Brian Molloy discovered this species growing on the grounds of the then-vacant Hanmer Lodge hotel in Hanmer Springs. Almost pure patches of L. filiformis could be found on the lawn..." Molloy (1999), p.16
- Reviewed: This is my second DYK nomination.
Created by Giantflightlessbirds (talk). Self-nominated at 09:17, 26 May 2018 (UTC).
New enough (only 1 day old); long enough (about 4000 characters of prose); within policy. All that's missing is QPQ - Gianflightlessbirds - I can't see which nomination you have reviewed. Boud (talk) 21:08, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
- This is only my second nomination; I gather I can nominate five before QPQ kicks in? —Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 21:21, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
