Scientists at the UK's Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew have identified more than 100 new plants in 2018, including one found on rocks in Sierra Leone's Sewa River. The unique specimen was discovered by Prof Aiah Lebbie who sent a sample to Kew, and he told Focus on Africa the plant has been named after him.
