  • ... that fossils of the extinct plant Concavistylon were first collected in the 1950s, but the genus wasn't formally described until 2018?

"Collections were made by Eleanor Gordon Thompson in the 1950s (donated to University of California Museum of Paleontology, Berkeley – specimens with catalog numbers prefixed by UCMP)". (Manchester et al 2018)

  • New enough (mainspaced November 13), long enough (4,886 characters), neutral, nicely cited throughout, no close para or copyvio apparent. Hook is short enough (138 characters), definitely interesting (what other genera might be hiding in the drawers of museums?), and cited to and in ref 2. QPQ done, no images, good to go! —Collint c 05:11, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
