World's Plant Life Far Less Diverse Than Thought

Posted by timothy on from the consolidating-knowledge dept.

Meshach writes "A report out of FOX News (I know, I know) says that there are far fewer unique species of plants than previously thought. The report states that only about a third of named species are actually unique. The rest have been 'discovered' multiple times, often by separate scientists."

    You mean Fox News is real?! I thought it was just a parody invented by the Daily Show. We get the "International Edition" of that here, and they show clips of Fox.
    C'mon ... it is just a joke, right?
