https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/science/plant-study-challenges-tropics-evolutionary-reputation/

In a surprise twist, a major group of flowering plants is evolving twice as quickly in temperate zones as the tropics. The finding runs counter to a long-held hypothesis that tropical regions, home to the planet’s richest biological diversity, outpace their temperate counterparts in producing new sp

In 1969, fossilized leaves of the species Othniophyton elongatum — which translates to “alien plant� — were identified in eastern Utah. Initially, scientists theorized the extinct species may have belonged to the ginseng family (Araliaceae). However, a case once closed is now being revisited. New fo
