A group of researchers from the Department of Biology in the Faculty of Science at Chiang Mai University has found a rare species of flowering plant in the evergreen forest in Janae and Sukhirin districts of Thailand’s southern province of Narathiwat.

 

Led by Assistant Professor Dr. Tanawat Chaowasku, the small team of researchers, which included two PhD students, came across the plant of the Annonaceae family, scientific name Phaenthuspiyae Wiya, Aongyong & Chaowaskul, during their expedition.

 

The name was in honour of Dr. Piya Chalermklin, a senior researcher who pioneered the study of plant species of the Annonaceae family in Thailand.
