Tropical plant species named after Green Day
News posted by the Green Day - NRDC Blog:
A botanist from Switzerland, Dr. Jason R. Grant, just wrote to NRDC to tell us that he named a new tropical plant species after Green Day. It's called Macrocarpaea dies-viridis (dies-viridis is Latin for Green Day), and the scientific journal Harvard Papers in Botany just published an article about it!
In his message, Dr. Grant says, “My students and I discovered this new species in February 2006 in Ecuador, and listened to Green Day music while driving, and in the evenings. Obviously as a botanist I am concerned with the environment, and applaud the efforts of the Natural Resources Defense Council.”
cool
