TIL a genus of vine named boquila is the only type of plant that can mimic its host organism regardless of the species of host (one vine can mimic multiple hosts) and no one knows how it does it (en.wikipedia.org)

It's probably just different plants. If it can't be reproduced in the 10 years since the one study, why do you presume the study is correct?

Here's a scholarly article from 2022. What say you? All lies?

I was simply quoting the article you linked.

Calling something bullshit and continuing to do so after being shown evidence it isn't is not simply quoting an article.

And I notice you still haven't admitted it isn't bullshit despite being shown that it isn't.
