Widespread rain across South Australia has helped unearth a new species of native mint and set the state's rarest flowers blooming.
Staff from the Adelaide Botanic Gardens have rediscovered seeds from some of South Australia's rarest native plants, Minister for Environment and Conservation Paul Caica says.
"Widespread rains and flooding have seen a range of desert flowers and plants blossom and thrive in what have been dry and barren inland landscapes, such as the Cooper Basin," he said in a statement on Tuesday.
Seed hunters have found some rare outback plants such as the endangered Arckaringa daisy, which is known from a single population in the Arckaringa Hills in the state's north.
