Undated handout photo issued by Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew of Chlorohiptage vietnamensis, a new genus and individual species endemic to Vietnam, in the tropical liana family Malpighiaceae. It is one of more than 170 plants and fungi previously unknown to science which have been named for the first time in 2024 by scientists from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and their partners. Kew scientists and their collaborators warned that several of the new species are already at risk of extinction due to human activities as they called attention to the ongoing loss of global biodiversity.
