What's all the commotion about this tiny herb? Vermont Fish & Wildlife said that the significance of this discovery lies in where it was found again.
Never in over a century has a botanist in Vermont seen a tiny floodplain herb until now.It's all thanks to the keen eyesight of the state's newest plant scientist, Grace Glynn, who had been on the hunt for the false mermaid-weed since starting her job about a year ago, the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department said. The last discovery was recorded in 1916.
