Dainty pink Mt. Diablo buckwheat rediscovered One of Mount Diablo's few endemic flowers, a dainty pink buckwheat, was thought to be extinct because it hadn't been seen in nearly 70 years. Two weeks ago, however, UC Berkeley graduate student Michael Park discoverd a site with at least 20 of the rare plants, pleasing open-space supporters who had earlier purchased the land where it was found and donated it to Mount Diablo State Park.
