The discovery of a never seen before plant in Thailand has been named after Blackpink star Lalisa “Lisa” Manoban.

 

A previously unknown flowering plant, belonging to the Annonaceae family, has been discovered by a team of researchers at Chiang Mai University’s Faculty of Science and dedicated to the Thai-born K-pop singer Lisa.

In recognition of the Thai-born K-pop star, the researchers have named the plant Friesodielsia lalisaeDamth, Baka & Chaowasku.

 

The plant was found among samples collected from Narathiwat, a southern province of Thailand, Bangkok
The research project, led by Thanawat Chaowasku, aims to study the taxonomy and evolution of rare and unknown plants in the Annonaceae family in Thailand, with support from the Thailand Science Research and Innovation Office and the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research, and Innovation.

 

One of the team members was motivated by Lisa to pursue her doctorate degree.

 

A newly discovered flowering plant has been called ‘bunga lalisa’ in Thai. It is named in honour of Lalisa ‘Lisa’ Manoban of the K-pop band Blackpink. Picture by Biodiversity CHM Thailand.

Lisa and Blackpink are set to make history this week by headlining Coachella on April 15 and 22, becoming the first Korean act to do so.

Photo is rather a let down... I was expecting something a little more feminine.

This is where we are today.....? Naming newly discovered flora/fauna species after celebrities. 

 

Somewhere, the glitch in the fabricated matrix has been altered.

And people whose “celebrity” is completely contrived and prefabricated, no less.

Yeah, what was I thinking?

 

Lisa’s “celebrity” status will no doubt remain undiminished even when she’s 80, not unlike Sir Paul. ????
