How To Discover New Species
Doesntium existans - a taxa that has earned a near-mythical status among botanists, vaguely described many decades ago by a legendary naturalist, has gone under the radar and has never been seen since. While some claim it is now extinct; most botanists worth their salt question the veracity of its existence. However, emboldened by ambition, three botanists embark on a mission to uncover its secrets. Rivalries, discontent and chagrin are all brought to the surface as the search intensifies.
Devised to involve the audience expect to find yourself in the thick of it as our botanists experience the highs and lows of the scientific process. Keep your eyes peeled for the flowers ... and the spiders.
