Rare Hudson Valley Plant Discovered Growing After 100 Years
An extremely rare plant that was only known to exist in Dutchess County has now suddenly sprouted up in another New York location.
The Albany Pine Bush Preserve Commission has announced the discovery of a rare plant that hasn’t been seen in the area since 1923. Botanists are giddy over finding the state-endangered Virginia Marbleseed growing in the wild among other plants. Until now, the only known living plants of this species have been 20 plants discovered by residents in various parts of Dutchess County.
The two new plants have suddenly popped up at the Albany Pine Bush Preserve. It s unclear how they have suddenly grown after 100 years of being extinct from the region, but Botanist Jesse Hoffman calls the discovery an exciting find.
