SINGAPORE - One of Singapore’s most recognisable icons, the Merlion can be found on many things - from T-shirts and mugs to fridge magnets and plush toys.A specimen of the Claderia leontocampus was first collected from Singapore by researchers from the Singapore Botanic Gardens during a routine survey in 2020, the National Parks Board said on Wednesday.
The Claderia leontocampus grows locally in old secondary lowland forests on well-drained soil, and can also be found in Sumatra in Indonesia and peninsular Malaysia, said NParks. “Its population size is unknown as the species is likely to be under-recorded due to its near-identical appearance to Claderia viridiflora when sterile,” said the agency.
