"Scientists have announced the discovery of a previously unknown species of
lipstick vine, uncovered in the depths of the Philippine rainforest. The
groundbreaking findings were published in the
Nordic Journal of Botany.
A team of botanists from Oxford University and the University of the
Philippines Los Baños made the discovery during a 2022 expedition to the remote
Barangay Balbalasang rainforest on Luzon Island. Accessing this nearly
impenetrable wilderness required several days of travel and the use of machetes
to clear a path. During their exploration, the team was hosted by the Banao
Tribe, an indigenous community who protect their local forest."
