New carnivorous plant discovered in Florida sinkhole lakes

A newly identified carnivorous plant, the Florida threadleaf sundew, has been found in hidden sinkhole lakes in the Florida Panhandle. This red sundew uses a 'death hug' technique to trap insect prey. The plant's survival depends on a rare and disappearing habitat that has long been overlooked. Its discovery serves as a warning about the fragile state of these unique ecosystems.

What other overlooked habitats might hold undiscovered species?
