Scientists and botanists are continuously exploring nature’s vast variety, making tree and plant discoveries that highlight the richness of our planet’s biodiversity.
These findings spark excitement and curiosity, offering fresh perspectives on the vast array of plant species still awaiting exploration. Most recently, experts have added to the world of botanical discoveries by naming six new tree species.
These species were identified during an exhaustive comparison of dried plant specimens gathered from across the Neotropics.
Among the six, three unique species – Matisia petaquillae, Matisia changuinolana, and Matisia aquilarum – were identified in Panama while the other three – Matisia genesiana, Matisia mutatana, and Matisia rufula – were discovered in Colombia.
