Remember the cow eating tree in India known as the pili mara? Hopefully this amazing find will force establishment botanists to reconsider the evidence for its existence.

  3. "Establishment botantist"? Are those botanists who operate by established methods of botany, or botanists who operate for the benefit of the Establishment? Just what applecart are you trying to upset? Define your terms!
