在阿波火山自然公园，一种珍稀植物在消失122年后被重新发现。这一发现是由环境与自然资源部的一个团队在例行监测过程中做出的。
保护区管理办公室的团队在沿着森林小径回收红外相机时发现了这种细小的开花植物。经鉴定，该植物为Ophiorrhiza biflora，是一种菲律宾特有物种。它最初由美国植物学家埃德温·宾厄姆·科普兰（Edwin Bingham Copeland）于1904年10月在阿波火山采集。
该物种属于茜草科。这是人类首次成功对Ophiorrhiza biflora进行影像记录。环境与自然资源部达沃地区办公室表示，此次重新发现证实了这种特有植物仍在生存。
该地区办公室指出，这一发现巩固了阿波火山自然公园作为生物多样性热点地区的地位，也加强了该公园申请联合国教科文组织世界地质公园的竞争力。
