Ancient flower lives only on two Spanish cliffs, and uses ants to survive
Well-written article and interesting read. What I didn't understand is in what sense that plant is considered "ancient"? Is it the lifespan of individual plants (300 years)? The article claims that "The plant is a relict, an ancient hanger-on from a time just after the death of the dinosaurs" -- I'd like to know what is meant by that sentence that isn't equally true for homo sapiens.
