There are many unknown native plant species waiting to be discovered, but in some cases, they disappear by habitat loss or in one case, by the courts.
I would like you to tell a story about an unknown plant species that Colin used to own, then disappeared due to his own mother. Native plants are a must in the garden, since they mostly attract wildlife, but there was one that got disappeared by the courts, and that was a pair of plants of an unknown species. Colin did own the plants after he had collected them from the bush area before it was destroyed. He owned the plants and looked after them in 2015. The plants never flowered but grew at winter and spring and dormant over the summer. When they did flower, seeds would appear. They had leaves that were 8mm wide by 6-10 inches long. The flower stalk, however, was 121-182cm long and every 4 inches along the stalk was a 4-5mm in diameter pink star-shaped flower. He never saw the star-shaped flower again. The WA Herbarium wanted these plants because they were a new species. It was 2016 and Colin fought against the courts because his sister lied to the courts. He was presumed guilty and lost everything, including the two remaining plants of the unknown species. The Herbarium never got the plants and seeds and never saw them again.
When looking for unknown species in the bush, it's important to find them, look at the differences and give them to the Herbarium or similar organisations. There are different ways to identify new native plants, including leaf shapes, seeds, flowers and stalks. Look at the seed shape and differences between them and other native plants. Botanists can look at the bark, if it's a tree, or the leaves and flowers to identify new species.
To preserve and conserve native plants, you can support organisations that support the conservation of endangered native plants, including government-run organisations. Regularly donating to them can help the organisations do their work in saving and protecting native plant species. Kings Park in Perth keeps a menagerie of native plants in the botanical gardens, most of which are rare in the wild.
