A newly discovered species of myrtle in China has been officially called "Reimu" by the Beijing Forestry University. People got in touch with them and confirmed that it was indeed named as such due to the plants resembling Reimu Hakurei's frilly red-white ribbon.

China and Japan historically haven't had the best relations. The Communist Party also likes to exercise control over cultural and scientific developments.

It has nothing to do with politics dictating how scientific advances are made. It has no bearing on how or why the research is being done. Government bodies/politics, in general, can still decide they are not OK with something being named a certain way, and have it changed. You can bet if someone found a new species of insect and called it a cocksuckeroach that there would be someone above them to tell them to re-name it. Be it within the establishment itself or some kind of government regulated scientific body.

But it's like >>18888209
said, I doubt very much that anyone would care anywhere near enough to pay that much attention to this particular case and raise a fuss. Still, I would put it past some people, especially some power tripping official, to take offense to having pop culture references in their "serious business", which is why I asked the question to find out if anyone had any insight into whether this could happen in this case.

Anon, both 'Yuuka' and 'Kazami' already alude to flowers.
'Yuca' (pronounced and variably spelled 'Yuuka') and 'Catami' (pronounced extremely close to 'Kazami') are both ancient (extinct) American flowering plants of the Asteraceae (Sunflower) family, which led some Japanese to believe Yuuka was based on the Native American deity those two plants were named after, 'Yuthkatol' or 'Yuca Catami'.
She's not seething, she's probably genuinely happy that there is more flowers in the world and people are respecting their beauty.
