Wollemi Pine
Wollemi Pine
OK, so it's less than a foot tall and it might not merit a geograph, but if you're up on plants you'll know that this one can be pinpointed to a few square inches of soil in the Logan Botanic Gardens. This Wollemi Pine cutting is the only one in Britain growing in outdoor conditions. The plant is a 'living fossil', thought to be extinct in its native Australia until it was discovered by accident in the 1990s.
