    Maybe I should have somebody else to post this because nobody will believe it's really true if I post it, but here goes anyway. A S.purpurealike plant was found in China. Bad news it it went exticnt millions of years ago. Maybe this will give a little detail to the evolution of CP's.

I’ll send any interested person about...
