... that unlike other members of its genus, including the giant "corpse flower", the newly-discovered Rafflesia consueloae smells like young coconut meat?

I read about this fascinating new flower on NYT too! It'll be wonderful to feature it on DYK as well. Article is new enough, long enough, and well referenced. Hook is interesting, supported by RS, and short enough. QPQ is done. No copyvio issues. Good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 23:41, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

@Zanhe: I slightly altered the hook, substituting the word "genus" for "botanical cousins". Hope you can sign off on that. Vesuvius Dogg (talk) 00:33, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

That's fine. Modified hook GTG. -Zanhe (talk) 01:15, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
