BEIJING, Sept. 15 (Xinhua) -- The following is a summary of published science and technology news of China:

NEW PLANT SPECIES

Chinese researchers have found a new vulnerable plant species of the genus Agapetes in southwest China's Yunnan Province.

The new species, namely Agapetes lihengiana, was discovered during a botanical exploration in Yingjiang County, within Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture.

WETTING TREND IN NW CHINA

A new study has disclosed that the abnormal warming of the tropical Indian Ocean is probably a key factor for the recent wetting trend in northwest China, according to Lanzhou University.

Investigating and understanding the long-term natural precipitation variability in northwest China provides insights into the recent wetting trend in this drought-plagued region, said Li Guoqiang, a professor at the College of Earth and Environmental Sciences of Lanzhou University.

China's modern science and technology museum system has attracted over 1 billion offline visits since 2012, playing a unique role in promoting fair and inclusive science popularization and improving scientific literacy in the country, according to the China Association for Science and Technology (CAST).
