Genetically distinct Wollemi Pine saplings to be auctioned off. This tree dates back to the time of the dinosaurs and was thought to be extinct until a tiny grove of them was discovered in an isolated area in 1984. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-09-11/wollemi-pine-rare-saplings-auction-30-year-aniversary/104332320
