New species of waterlily described

I didn’t see this in the Forum, so I’m posting here. (In short: new species uncovered, Victoria boliviana, basically hiding in plain sight.)

The paper is here: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpls.2022.883151/full Notably, the paper used data points from iNaturalist to help delimit the species of Victoria, which I found to be really cool.
