Researchers have found four fresh flowers in the North which they claim to be newly discovered types, underpinning the government’s vibrant wildlife, according to the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation.
Attapol Charoenchansa, the district’s captain, said on Wednesday the discoveries were made by the department’s experts, biologists from Kasetsart University and another study group from Trinity College Dublin in Ireland.
The scientists have been carefully collaborating with a team of local and international botanical scientists known as” Flora of Thailand” to identify new flower species in the nation.
According to him, they are looking into new plant varieties in the physical setting of the provinces of Chiang Mai, Lamphun, and Phitsanulok.
Mr. Attapol described the revelation of the four new flower species in the Disporum species as a new flower species world record, a powerful new milestone in the nation’s floral research.
The second flower, Disporum chiangdaoense Sarapan &, Suwanph, was found in Chiang Dao Wildlife Sanctuary in Chiang Mai. It is a perennial plant with a elevation of 94 centimetres, and a juicy trunk with crimson plants.
Disporum dorsifixerum Sarapan &, Suwanph was located in Lamphun territory. It is also a perennial herb with a level of 160 centimetres, and a juicy tree that contains green plants, Mr Attapol said.
The second, Disporum phuhinrongklaensis Sarapan &, Chamch, is found in Chiang Mai and Phitsanulok counties. It has a level of 105 centimeters and white flowers, and it is classified as an herbaceous plant. Phu Hin Rongkla National Park in Phitsanulok is known by the name Phuhinrongklaensis, which is where it was discovered.
Lastly, there is Disporum scabridum Sarapan &, Hodk. It is the only plant found in an region more than 800-1, 000 feet above sea level in Phitsanulok. Additionally, it has a height of 100 centimeters and purple plants, making it an herbaceous plant.
