I can't get the link to work again either Cloudy
 Anyhow just type in Wollemi Pine into google and there are a million sites out there.Larry that sounds like one and the same story. It is amazing how nature can survive even though we do our best to stuff it up

When I was a kid, I got fascinated by the coelocanth, a fish that outdated the dinosaurs by millions of years. Check it out.

Oh I remember that one, Attalus! Really wild stuff, finding things that we thought no longer lived or reproduced and here they are in some long forgotten mountain pass or crevice in the see!

Hmmm. Yes it is amazing that there are spots on this tiny globe where we have not looked yet [img]smile.gif[/img] .
These single species living fossils that cling on despite evolution racing past them are (while rare) not infrequent. Ginkgo biloba is another example of such a genus/species. Once the world was covered in lush Ginkgo forests. Not to mention the peculiar Welwitschia mirabilis only found in the Namibian desert. Weirder plant you'll never see - I vouch for that. I think we will continue to uncover representatives of phylogentic lines we presumed lost. Not only must the discovery and observation be made - it must be made by someone educated enough to make use of it. To most people plants is just one big mass.
