Rare 'extinct' plant sparks legal action

Recommended Posts

A newly rediscovered rare plant – thought to have become extinct almost 200 years ago – has sparked a legal action in Sydney’s west against a development that threatens the flower’s only known location.

About 370 specimens of Hibbertia fumana – a small flowering shrub endemic to Sydney – were found on the grounds of the proposed 83-hectare Simta Moorebank transport hub late last year. 

On Friday the New South Wales Environmental Defenders Office filed a suit on behalf of residents appealing against the development’s approval.

Nice!  Don't mention anything about the flower being discovered until after the building application was approved.  They knew what they were doing was unethical.  I really hope this company gets this application rejected.
