Bangkok (VNA) - A new species of flowering plant has been discovered by a group of researchers at Thailand's Chiang Mai University's Faculty of Science.
The species was found in Narathiwat province, one of the southern localilties of the country and shares a border with Malaysia.
The plant has been named in honour of the Thai-born K-pop singer Lalisa "Lisa" Manoban, who is a member of the Republic of Korean girl group, Blackpink. One of the members of the research team was inspired by Lisa to pursue her doctorate degree.
The plant, which belongs to the Annonaceae family, is fragrant. Due to its extreme rarity, it is at one of the highest risks of extinction.
