Crikey I wouldn't have thoughts plants would have gone extinct so easy! interesting fact
Have you heard about the plant Siphilim? Apparently it was fairly prevalent and very highly valued in ancient times, but was lost by the middle ages.
Never heard of it, that's one for googling thanks
Silphium
Could be that many medicinal plants are considered weeds or have very specific habitats that have been built over.
Oh yeah its real. Romans used something to spice their meals that apperently grew all over italy greece and anatolia. Today we cant find any plant matching the looks nore the taste. But it must have been really good
