This is cool

[den]

One of my cousins, a botanist, has discovered in A National Park In The Blue Mountains behind Sydney a previously undescribed, un-named plant.

Is that not just totally cool?

That is indeed totally cool. Does your cousin get to name it? How'd they find it?

shh!

HOW COOL!!!

Going to have to second the idea to name it the Yish plant. :)

Woohooo. Cool.

So does it get to be named 'something battydenus'? ;)

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid it'll be named according to some sort of esotric naming scheme which won't invove bats or me. 8)

Nifty.

Okay, poll: which would be a cooler, naming a plant or naming a star?

(I'd vote for plant, personally, 'cos you can pay to name a star, but you'd be hard pressed to find a botanist willing to give up their naming rights for money...)

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

I think naming an un-named species would be cooler.

Eeee! Yay!

There are just a few of us. One of Mum's cousins was a park ranger until he retired, so right now there's just the two of us.

Ah, would that be the national park which is a bit shy about where it keeps its unnamed plants?

What a cool find!

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

Could be there but I can't say. He didn't tell me.

The same one I used to live in that also has a Sekrit Koala Colony. Beautiful place to live. Wish we still could.

*sob*

just in case you didn't see that film

I don't think he counted the bugs that live in it.

I'm certain it's not carniverous. And probably won't take over the world.

Very cool, indeed!

Ah, the moment every botanist dreams of. Well done them!
