Rarity
Why is it considered to have been extinct if only one was ever seen? It may have been a mutation or far from the general range due to a bird. 67.142.174.26 (talk) 22:06, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * One assumes that the botanists who discovered and watched that particular plant were on the lookout for any others of that species, or plants that were closely related. It is possible that it was outside its normal range, much less likely that it was a mutation. Since it was the only known member of its species, and it died, it was technically declared "Extinct".
