<p><strong>Finzel's Wild Ginger</strong> (<em><strong>Hexastylis finzelii</strong></em>) is named after <strong>Brian Finzel</strong> (<em>1971-</em>) who, in <strong>2019</strong> on a routine photography hike, discovered the first population of what was determined to be a decidedly new species to science.&nbsp; It is currently only known from two populations in <strong>Marshall County</strong> and thus one of Alabama's rarest endemic species.--<em>B.R. Keener</em></p>
