Scientists Name New Rainforest Tree After Eco-Hypocrite DiCaprio
dicaprio treeScientists studying the Ebo rainforest in Cameroon have named a newly identified tree in honor of the actor, environmental hardliner, and superyacht enthusiast Leonardo DiCaprio.
The tree, a member of the ylang-ylang plant family, is a tropical evergreen with yellow flowers growing from its lower trunk and will now be known by the scientific name Uvariopsis dicaprio.
The scientists chose to honor DiCaprio for his efforts to stop the Cameroonian government from allowing the bio-diverse, but isolated Ebo rainforest to be opened for clearcut logging.
