一份关于稀有植物的活地图

Sixty-four plants that are strange, ancient, or nearly gone — each one placed exactly where it actually grows. Spin the globe, click a dot, find out why that one is worth knowing about.

六十四种奇怪的、古老的、或者快要消失的植物，每一种都标在它真正生长的地方。转动地球，点开一个点，看看它为什么值得被记住。

What the colours mean颜色代表什么

Each dot is coloured by how likely that plant is to disappear — from not at risk through to critically endangered. Thirty-three of the sixty-four are doing fine. Two are down to their last few.

每个点的颜色代表它消失的可能性，从「安全」到「极危」。六十四种里有三十三种目前还好，有两种只剩最后几株。

Written for everyone写给所有人

No jargon. Every plant gets one Whoa line — a single fact worth saying out loud — and a short description underneath. A seven-year-old and their parent should both get something out of it.

没有术语。每种植物有一句「Whoa」——一个说出来会让人惊讶的事实——下面再跟一段简短说明。七岁的小孩和大人都能看懂。
