Double grained rice finally out in the open

A small group of farmers in Bangladesh were secretly and sacredly nurturing in field the unique rice variety (or species!) that has two (sometime three) grains in a rice seed. It has not been so far noticed that this type of rice exists in any other country of the world.

That’s from Krisoks’ Blog over at Eldis Communities. Where you can also see photos. ((They are made available there under a Creative Commons license which allows me to reproduce one here. Many thanks for that.)) Has anyone seen this elsewhere?
