Wollemia nobilis
Wollemi Pine
The Wollemia genus only existed in the fossil record until this species was discovered in 1994 in New South Wales. Its crazy to think that there’s probably plants out there that we haven’t even discovered yet.

“Unlike many introduced exotic thistles, this native species is not a troublesome weed.” Good for you, Cirsium occidentale. I’d like to think that I’d be the same.

Dumontia contorta
Seaweeds don’t have roots- they have what is called a “holdfast”, a term shared with coral, sponges and all sorts of crazy ocean flora. The holdfast varies in shape and size depending on the species and what it’s attached to. Unlike most roots on the surface, the holdfast doesn’t absorb nutrients and is simply used to hold the organism in place.
