Meet Gastrodia agnicellus, recently categorized by scientists, and also known as the ugliest orchid in the world.
The plant has no leaves or photosynthetic tissue, meaning it s a shiny off-brown and looks like a gaping, toothless mouth.
It s one of several species highlighted by the Royal Botanical Gardens of Kew that were newly named by scientists in 2020.
Many of the other plants that are new to science this year are easier on the eye.
A flower previously unknown to science has been named by botanists but it s more easily remembered by its nickname as the world s ugliest orchid.
