Scientist rediscovers rare plant unseen since 1985

ST. LOUIS - A scientist with the Missouri Botanical Garden has
rediscovered and identified a rare parasitic plant that hasn't been seen
by botanists in more than 20 years.
A single specimen of the plant was found in Mexico in 1985, but the plant
wasn't seen again until St. Louis botanist George Yatskievych and a
colleague found it in a pine oak forest in Mexico's mountains.
