A lady cook in a Botany Centre canteen was given the honour of naming a new plant discovery just at the same moment as she was calling a customer across to collect his freshly prepared meal.
"As you have been working hard at this centre of excellence for 25 years, we'd like you to name this plant", said the head botanist.
"Irish Stew, Bert", she called out to her customer.
And so the plant, accidentally, acquired its name.
