Researchers in England have discovered a new type of giant waterlily after realizing that a plant held in several botanical gardens for more than 150 years was actually a separate species.

在意识到一种在几个植物园中保存了150多年的植物实际上是一个独立的物种后，英国的研究人员发现了一种新型的巨型睡莲。

By growing a new plant from seeds, scientists at Kew Gardens in London show that the waterlily, the world's biggest with leaves more than three metres wide, was a completely new species.

伦敦邱园的科学家通过用种子培育出一种新植物，证明了叶子超三米宽的这个世界上最大的睡莲是一个全新的物种。
