World's loneliest tree making a comeback story : On a steep cliff on Robinson Crusoe Island, a single tree is holding on against the odds. For years, 'Dendroseris neriifolia', a rare tree daisy found only in Chile's remote Juan Fernández Islands, has survived as the last known wild individual of its species. Now, seeds collected from that lone tree have successfully begun to grow at Kew's Millennium Seed Bank in England.
Conservationists recently collected seeds from the last surviving wild tree and sent some of them to Kew's Millennium Seed Bank in England, as per a report. The results have given scientists a reason to be hopeful: several of those seeds have successfully sprouted.
