According to the United Kingdom’s Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, the more than 300 different species include palms and rainforest trees, rare orchids, fungi, wild coffees and others, and were discovered in locations that ranged from Africa to South America, the Middle East, southern Asia and western Australia.

However, it is believed that a third of these recent finds are already endangered. For example, one South African aquatic plant, belonging to an ancient family of ferns dating back more than 150 million years, is at risk of disappearing due to global warming-related drying of its native lands. We thank Royal Botanic Gardens for sharing these newly found natural wonders.

With Heaven’s grace, may such irreplaceable beauty continue to flourish through our thoughtful respect for the environment.
