Bartın University Ulus Vocational School Forestry Program Lecturer Dr. Bilge Tunçkol and Düzce University Faculty of Forestry Faculty Member Dr. Neval Güneş Özkan discovered the new plant by cooperating with a US-based scientist Prof. Dr. Ihsan A. Al-Shehbaz from Missouri Botanical Garden.

A scientific research paper about this newly found species was also published in one of the pioneering scientific journal, “Phytotaxa”.
