Article Synopsis
  • The long-spurred orchid Angraecum sesquipedale and the long-tongued hawkmoth Xanthopan praedicta represent a classic example of evolutionary ecology, though their specialisation is not fully understood due to incomplete pollination records.
  • A newly discovered orchid species, Solenangis impraedicta, has evolved extreme adaptations for a specific pollinator, featuring the longest spur relative to flower diameter in any flowering plant at 33 cm.
  • This rare find, with the last similar discovery dating back to 1965, is analyzed in a phylogenetic context and is categorized as Endangered in terms of conservation status.
