Rare Purple Himalayan Flower Rediscovered in India After 158 Years

Scientists have found a rare purple-blue flower called Cyananthus hookeri in India after it was missing from records for 158 years.

This flower was first seen in India in 1867 but then disappeared.

Recently, researchers from the Botanical Survey of India found it growing on high mountain slopes in Arunachal Pradesh.

This discovery is important because it helps scientists learn more about the plants in the Himalayas and shows that there are still many plants to discover in these mountains.

The flower is small and delicate, and scientists will watch it closely to make sure it stays safe.
