Staff workers clean the clay off a newly-dug out Trichosanthes Kirilowii, a
flowering plant in the family Cucurbitaceae, one of the 50 fundamental herbs
used in traditional Chinese medicine and known in Chinese as Gualou, at the
Gualou Plantation Modelling Base of Anyang City, central China's Henan
Province, April 4, 2010. Workers dug out this super Gualou plant which has a
length of 4.1 meters and the weight of over 150 kg, growing a shape of alligator,
which is rare in its category. (Xinhua/Chang Zhongzheng)
