A tremendous amount of math is found in nature, and it's most obvious in Fibonacci/Golden Ratio patterns in the world's flora. But the Schumanniophyton problematicum plant's leaves are determined by algebra, and a simple equation can tell you exactly how many leaves it has or how long it's lived. The Schumanniophyton problematicum's leaves can be expressed by 12Y + 4, where Y is the number of years the plant has been alive. 4 years? 52 leaves.
And it gets more impressive. Schumanniophyton problematicum is one of four plants to contain rohitukine naturally, which has shown antiinflammatory properties and can combat leukemia and colon cancer cells.
