Australian researchers have located what is believed to be the largest plant on Earth—and they estimate it's at least 4,500 years old.

The ancient and incredibly resilient seagrass stretching across 180km was located by researchers from The University of Western Australia and Flinders University.

The discovery of the single plant or "clone" of the seagrass Posidonia australis in the shallow, sun-drenched waters of the World Heritage Area of Shark Bay in WA is detailed in a new study published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

[...]

UWA student researcher Jane Edgeloe, lead author of the study, says the team sampled seagrass shoots from across Shark Bay's variable environments and generated a "fingerprint" using 18,000 genetic markers.

"The answer blew us away—there was just one." Ms. Edgeloe said. "That's it, just one plant has expanded over 180km in Shark Bay, making it the largest known plant on Earth.

"The existing 200 km2 of ribbon weed meadows appear to have expanded from a single, colonizing seedling."

Marlene: boys are so stupid.

Dorcas: any reason in particular or you're just stating the obvious?

Marlene: talking about how James and Regulus are obviously in love with each other and do nothing about it.

Pandora: true, Reg talks a lot about Potter.

Dorcas: Barty and Evan aren't much better. The sexual tension is obvious to everyone but them.

Pandora: how about we free two birds with one key? We get all of them to play a game and sabotage it to make them confess their feelings!

Marlene: did you mean kill two birds with one stone?

Pandora: no! I don't want to kill them! 🥺

Dorcas: aww poor baby.

Marlene: *pouts*

Dorcas: you also my baby, love. Different kind. *kiss*

Marlene: *smiles satisfied*

Dorcas: but i think that's a great idea, Dora!

Marlene: scheming time!
