A fact from Nymphaea thermarum appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 27 May 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Nymphaea thermarum (pictured), the world's smallest water lily, was recently saved from extinction?

Scoundresl from RBG Kew.

You have to watch out for those scoundrels from the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew!!!!! Perhaps somebody could reword this more sensibly. I've left it as I find it amusing. 2.100.178.6 (talk) 23:31, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Reintroduction

I came across this quote from a study (Albani Rocchetti et al., 2022):
EW species are covered by ex situ conservation programmes of botanic gardens and seed banks, and there have already been several successful translocations of EW plant species into the wild (for example, Sophora toromiro, Nymphaea thermarum).^[1]
If I understand this correctly, then Nymphaea thermarum has been reintroduced to the wild. However, I haven't found other sources supporting this. What do you think? Conan Wolff (talk) 14:52, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
