Europe's rarest orchid rediscovered in the Azores



Europe's rarest species of orchid has been rediscovered on a single volcanic ridge in the Azores, claim scientists. The new species, known as Hochstetter's butterfly-orchid, was first found in 1838 but had escaped official recognition for almost two centuries. via Pocket http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/25259754
