Erythrina Schliebenii, a coastal forest endemic plant species was collected in the 1930s in forest patches near the sides of Lake Lutamba in Lindi, which has since been cleared (according to IUCN). Repeated searches for this species at its type locality have failed to rediscover it, but only on 10th June 2011, one researcher Frank Mbago made its re-discovery near Namatimbli gorge along Ngarama coastal forest massif in Kilwa district. Scientists are expecting some more to be discovered in the last remaining undisturbed coastal forests patches. Rush for the save!
