Geosirus a pale and beautiful plant is newly discovered in the Daintree Rainforest of Far North Queensland.
The secrets of its continued existence are definitely worth reading if you have a fascination for all things humous and humorous.
Elizabeth Joyce, a Phd Candidate at James Cook University, Queensland, became very, shall we say intimate with Geosirus while visiting our steamy Australian rainforest. Joyce’s has exposed a raunchy, some say scandalous, behavior among the Geosirus rhizomes, fungi and trees.
It all happens in the half light, under the soft and moist leaf beds of the rain forest floor.
See Elizabeth Joyce’s fascinating article about Geosirus, an early contender for 2019’s sexiest plant.
