First new giant waterlily species discovered in London in over a century | AFP

The world's largest giant waterlily - and the first to be discovered in over a century - is unveiled at London's Kew Gardens, whose herbarium has been home to misidentified plant species for 177 years. The species was uncovered by a team in the UK and partners Bolivia (where the plant is native) using a blend of modern science, including DNA analysis and molecular technology, and the centuries-old practice of botanical drawings. It is the world's third giant waterlily.

US and England are so corrupt that they only help themselves or countries that are on their side? Example that Nuclear planr Acident at Japan look up the map on the Pacific spill photos and you're gonna know without been a Scientist why so many Sea animals are dying in the pacific ocean? Oh and the Scientists you praise? Can't find out the cause? (Nuclear spill/Radiation) is what's killing all that and your scientists Can't betray Japan a NATO-US friend!!!
