Wendlandia angustifolia
Wendlandia angustifolia is a species of plant in the family Rubiaceae. It is endemic to Tamil Nadu, India. The species was presumed to be extinct until 1998, when it was rediscovered after a gap of 81 years near its previously known natural habitat, during an inventory of threatened plants of Kalakkad Mundantharai Tiger Reserve, Tamil Nadu.[1] As of 2016, the IUCN has not updated its listing and still classifies the species as extinct.[2]
