bobthebiologist's Identifications

These are plants that were growing next to a water retention lake in Fairbanks where the permafrost melted. I am told that they might have been dormant for 30,000 years in the permafrost and now grow again early in the season and are different from the other plants around. I found one study that revived a plant from fruit tissue see https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn21498-plant-blooms-after-30000-years-in-permafrost/.
