The U.S. has an ancient tree called the Bristlecone Pine. Australians have the Wollemi Pine, a plant from the Jurassic age which was once thought to have been extinct for two million years. In 1994, it was found to have survived in a single isolated area. Botanist Carrick Chambers says it was “the equivalent of finding a small dinosaur still alive on Earth.” Now you can buy a Wollemi Pine houseplant.
