…humid, shady places. Paris japonica is the previous record-holder of the largest genome of any plant yet assayed, about 150 billion base pairs long. An octoploid and suspected allopolyploid hybrid of four species, it has 40 chromosomes. With 150 billion base pairs of DNA in the haploid genome (50 times larger…
