A South American wildflower that was thought to be extinct has been rediscovered in the foothills of the Andes mountains.It was first found nearly 40 years ago in an Ecuadorian forest but was only described by scientists in 2000.They gave the orange wildflower the scientific name 'extinctus' because the forest it was found in had been largely destroyed, leading them to suspect the tropical plant had already died out.
