This is the largest undivided/simple leaf of any plant on record.
The largest waterlily species is the newly identified Victoria boliviana, which in cultivation has floating pads that grow in excess of 2.8 m (9 ft 2 in) in diameter.
This prodigious pad had an off-the-charts diameter of 3.2 m (10 ft 6 in), increasing to 3.37 m (11 ft) if the upturned edge was flattened. It had an approximate surface area of 7.55 m2 (81.3 sq ft), about the same as two king-size beds.
The aquatic plant is native to the Llanos de Moxos tropical savannah of El Beni department in north-east Bolivia.
The discovery was made by Kew Gardens and their partners La Rinconada Ecoparque & Restaurante in Bolivia.
