Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.
The random article for Tuesday, 25 May 2021 is Degenia.
Degenia is a monotypic plant genus in the family Brassicaceae containing the single species Degenia velebitica (Croatian: velebitska degenija). The yellow-flowered plant is endemic to Velebit and Kapela mountain ranges, and has become a symbol of the region.
Discovered by Dr. Árpád Degen on 17 July 1917, the Degenia velebitica is depicted on the reverse of the Croatian 50 lipa coin, minted since 1993.
This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:44 UTC on Tuesday, 25 May 2021.
