Research Notes

“This isn’t the first time I’ve written about plants, but I still learned some interesting new facts. Who knew that plants first appeared about 450 million years ago? More than 275,000 different kinds of plants live on Earth today—and it’s a good thing, too. We couldn’t live without them."
