Satellite images suggest that Victoria colombiana, the giant waterlily newly described by scientists in Colombia and London, may grow only within the Estrella Fluvial de Inírida, a wetland of international importance between the Guaviare and Inírida rivers, Colombian outlet El Morichal reported. With an estimated 30 to 50 wild plants, that means nearly the entire species lives in one protected landscape in Colombia's Guainía department.
