As Kew seeks donations to renovate its tropical Palm House, research leader Dr Tom Prescott explains how scientists can test the species within it – with startling results. ⁣
⁣
He recounts how one species – the Madagascar periwinkle – produces chemicals that are now approved pharmaceutical drugs to fight leukemia. ⁣
