Sticky alpine flower confirms Darwin's carnivorous plant prediction
Original: Sticky alpine flower confirms Darwin's 150-year-old carnivorous plant prediction
Researchers report that a sticky alpine flower is carnivorous, validating a hypothesis Charles Darwin proposed roughly 150 years ago about predatory plants. The finding adds a new species to the known carnivorous plants and shows Darwin's insight into plant adaptation extended to unexpected alpine environments. It is drawing wide attention as an example of a long-standing scientific prediction being borne out by modern research.
Why now: A famous scientist's century-and-a-half-old prediction being experimentally confirmed is a striking science story that naturally attracts broad interest.
