Its amazing what you can come up with when you visit Google's News Search
(
http://news.google.com), and type 'orchid' into the search field.
This story from the Melbourne Age newspaper (
http://tinyurl.com/v32a) is
currently only a few hours old, and outlines some of the steps different
groups are taking to protect threatened orchid species. As well as the
possible discovery of a new species! It's a little light on binomial
nomenclature, but hey - this is a weekend broadsheet newspaper after all.
Still interesting. Along with all the other local orchid news stories to be
found at Google's news search. Happy hunting.
Best, Matthew
