Vepris Bali
''Vepris bali'' is a species of plant in the family Rutaceae. It is a tree recorded from a cloud forest remnant of the Bamenda Highlands of Cameroon. It is the twentieth known species of ''Vepris'' from Cameroon in West Central Africa. The trifoliolate leaves of the plant are opposite, and have long petiolules, both unusual features among the West Central African species of the genus. It was formally published as a new species in 2018 from herbarium specimens collected in 1951 by the Nigerian forester Edwin Ujor from Bali Ngemba Forest Reserve, a remnant of submontane forest of great conservation importance in the Bamenda Highlands of Cameroon. No other specimens of the species have yet been found despite targeted searches by teams of botanists in the early years of the twenty-first century. It has not yet been formally assessed by the IUCN but it is believed to be Critically Endangered (Possibly Extinct) due to habitat loss. Sources * bali Bali () is a province ...

Plant
Plants are predominantly photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae. Historically, the plant kingdom encompassed all living things that were not animals, and included algae and fungi; however, all current definitions of Plantae exclude the fungi and some algae, as well as the prokaryotes (the archaea and bacteria). By one definition, plants form the clade Viridiplantae (Latin name for "green plants") which is sister of the Glaucophyta, and consists of the green algae and Embryophyta (land plants). The latter includes the flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms, ferns and their allies, hornworts, liverworts, and mosses. Most plants are multicellular organisms. Green plants obtain most of their energy from sunlight via photosynthesis by primary chloroplasts that are derived from endosymbiosis with cyanobacteria. Their chloroplasts contain chlorophylls a and b, which gives them their green color. Some plants are parasitic or mycotrophic and have lost the ...
