- The first video produced in this series of the Botanical Land of the Lost. New Caledonia is a heaven for those interested in the effects of ultramafic geology on plant life, as well as for paleobotanists and others interested in the existence of relict plant lineages (especially conifers). Did the ultramafic geology act as a kind of botanical refugia? Was the island of New Caledonia submerged in the Eocene, a mere 30 millions years after it broke off from the landmass of Gondwana? Will somebody Sac & Pain me for 100 dollars? Was Captain Cook a prick? In this episode, we attempt to answer these questions.

*Thank you to the anonymous donor!* Helping our dude go to places he never would have otherwise - providing us with awesome knowledge and content! I can't imagine how cool it was for CPBBD to find out about the donation. If you're reading this anon donor, you're awesome man :)
Here here!
No doubt. We appreciate this vicarious adventure!
Fuck yeah
My thanks to the cool doner as well. It's great to see people to cool things with money.
Thank'$ Mate, for sorting out 'our-Tony,. It makes me feel like "I dont want to die" . ....♡♡♡
To the anonymous donor; THANK YOU FOR ENRICHING ALL OF OUR KNOWLEDGE WITH YOUR GENEROUS CONTRIBUTION!
And to Joey; it is awesome to know that one of your bucket list destinations has a big ol' thick check mark next to it! Congrats man, if anyone earned it, it definitely was you!
"I'm not here for the culture, I'm here for the plants."
Sounds like me and Baja Mexico.
@@Puddsbrudda I think he meant he didn't want us to get shot.
A lot of the info goes in one ear and out my asteraceae, but yet I'm glued to my screen. How the hell can so much info be retained. 😕
Read, review, listen, and observe.
Repetition through passion in hobby (plants)
Because the subject matter is so interesting. Seeing a new species for the first time is like meeting another person for the first time. If they are interesting enough to you, you remember their name. Botany In a Day by Elpel is a decent book to pickup if you want to start to learn more about land plants (aka ~470 million years of evolution). It's a nice primer for Plant Systematics by Simpson which really gets into the fun shit. If you want access to these books and many others, shoot me a message and I got you. No $ necessary. Still if you can afford to, just buy the books.
Joyful understanding has no upper hard drive limit. Love it. Don't "memorize" it.
@@poopymcgee Your comment is goddamn gorgeous
Many thanks to your anonymous donor!
"You're just suffering from the effects of late syphilis."
Pure gold.
Thank you anonymous UK donor for enabling this. Love it. Can't wait for the conifer business.
You're my favorite burning balm. A little raw at the start, but I always feel better in the long run.
Oh God yes. Just practice care when applying to sensitive areas.
Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't
Personally, I like to test the efficiency of that balm by taking
something like a bastard rasp and roughing up the thing in the worst part (da not-so-sweetspot) and then slap some on dere and what da shit. Yessir, that’s some great dago!
Just wanted to weigh in and say that this is probably the most hilarious - yet informative - video of yours that I've seen. Splendid stuff. Love your channel
Canned Goat 😇 that's a good one! Come to Scotland when you're ready, we got raaks too, and horizontal rain. Oh and the doors open for you anytime Dude. We welcome your honest clarity and promise nit to feed you any goats, just sheep's stomach stuffed with oatmeal n onions ! Its called Haggis ye Neep. A Neep is a turnip FYI
OMG!!! PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!!!
My friend is over cooking food, she says put on Planet Earth, I stream CPBBD...the new generation Attenborough
That's a less bleak future !
I sure hope you're right!
Hell yea
You never cease to enlighten, educate, and amuse. Thanks again!
Nothin' shakin' on shakedown street, used to be the heart of town
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart, you just gotta poke around
I Got 99 Problems but My Alt Aint One nice
Look at you in New Caledonia! Tomorrow I'll take my hand lens and my camera and go poke around the canyons of Orange County and pretend I'm you.
New Caladonia and New Zealand are part of the sunken continent of Zealandia which brock away from Gondwana 80 MYA. Although large parts of both contries were submerged in the late Eocene/Holocene it is unlikly that every part was submerged at once, hence the large amount of aincient endemic flora extant on both land masses.
Yeah I agree. Seems very unlikely that all these old lineages just recolonized the island via long-distance dispersal.
"describe yourself in two words."
me: "unsavory degenerate."
thanks bro 😂
Wow I had a little cry hearing that u actually got that donation!!!! Big ups to whomever donated
Ugh, that hermit crab is too cute! I do the whole animal behavior stuff, with a heaping side of geology and edible botany. I really hope you get into the rainforested highlands and meet some New Caledonian crows! Corvids are my soothing balm.
You my friend are entertaining and educational a True Rarity in this "modern" world!! I love the last part of this video. Imagining a willing participant being stuffed in a sack and beaten with French bread was fantastic. - thanks
"unsavory degenerates!"...
Dad?
😂
Beautiful place! Thank you!
It's been over 20 years now, but I still have hugely fond memories of my time in Caledonia Neuvo, I also stayed with a Kanak family, loveliest people, utterly screwed over, as you said. The father of the family I stayed with had been part of the uprising ten years prior and his brother got killed. The fucking French won't even let them have their own passports, or even fly their flag. Arseholes. All because of that fucking nickel... Coloialism is alive and well still.
First time viewer, I love the style and tone of this content. Subscribed!
I'm so happy you got to go to New Caledonia! Very refreshing to hears someone else travel to foreign contries not for the culture, but nature!
If this is just the first of the series, I’m really excited to see what’s to come! It’s amazing to get these niche and rare plants out there to get people excited about it! Love your videos and you bud! Keep up your amazing work!!
Theres a previous one from new caledonia thats like 3 days old.
Hes been too busy to upload...I'll patiently wait, this is great!
SwayBack ohh I gotcha! I didn’t read that one’s description
Any plans to visit puerto rico? One hell of an interesting place for biodiversity thats easy as hell to get to since you’re in the US. Also has some pretty strange but interesting geology all across the island. As long as you don’t stay in san juan and actually rent a car to travel across the island to utuado and arecibo theres a lot to see and explore.
Bonjour and G'day from Queensland, Australia. I received your stickers cheers. Enjoy NC and thanks for another great video...
You bring the truth in such an honest way! Thank you for all the knowledge, it brings such relief! Peace out...
Thank you, a great change-of-pace.
The spider at 25:30 just chilling hearing the night lecture from our dude.
Man, that place looks amazing. Glad you shared your experience!
So isolated but clearly reminds me of some Australian landscapes. The soils in this region are all generally poor. When the colonists came here there were problems of iodine deficiency in the general population. This was partly combated with widespread use of seaweed fertilizers.
Awesome as always..... screw television... CPBBD is my fix.
the wonderful ACE Seeds company recently added a series of New Caledonia Cannabis seeds, this place looks absolutely amazing.
Thank you for this video-I have once again learned something new!
Got a thumbs up in the first minute because of the reference to "Swirling highly polarized cultural toilet", it just happens to be today's phrase that pays.
Looking forward to the Nepenthes
Gottdamn that's some wild looking plants. Thanks for taking us along! Just incredible shit.
Nice place for a hike.
The most far away place of the French Economic Union.
THe plants loooks very similar to Australia.
Am I the only one that attempted to go to the website www.touchmyindusium.com? Apparently it’s an available web address waiting to be created. I then proceeded to do some research on indusium because I’m an ignorant bastard and wanted to know more. Thank you Sir, for inspiring me to teach myself something today.
You/Chicago rock! From south side 👍👍
"Sac n pain, hundred bucks...oh, actually a dollar..." LOL!
Some of those vines or parasites can transfer/absorb genes from their hosts. Like vampires who really "are what they eat" -- slightly.
A legend in our own time
So happy you finally got to New Caledonia, wild stuff.
Hellooo there you! Love the video. I love the ravens there!
Real shame that Socotra is embroiled in a civil conflagration right now. Would love to hear about some Dracena Cinnabari and what not.
Socotra would be really cool
.
omg Socotra, would be MADD. gotta enjoy those Dendrosicyos (the only tree in the cucumber family, and all the other ones went extinct on the mainlands) and it looks like someone smashed its head with all the branches sticking out on the side. , dorstenia gigas, etc and boswellia nana a little dwarf frankincense tree
I'm good for $100 donation if you promise to go to Socotria
Crazy to me that Gymnostoma at 22:00 isn't a conifer. Super cool. Convergent evolution?
I think I prefer the savory degenerates myself. Sometimes the sweet and salty degenerates, but I’ll take some sac & pain any day.
Thank you!
Nice ! Look at dat..... botanically addicted to this now
Beautiful views of the ultramafic hills. It may be fairly barren, not so bleak to me. I hope all the viewer's will give some cash as a gift to you on pay pal. IT'S EXPENSIVE! CHIP IN GUY'S! . you're the best Tony, Thank you.
I wish this video had more views, glad you were able to visit
Excellent. Hope you go inland and show us some Zygogynum (Winteraceae). Would love to see the microptergid pollinators live for a change.
Damn! I wish I were able to get outta here with ya for a spell! You perform a great service fine sir!
CPBBD after dark, nice!
NO WAY YOU'RE IN NEW CALEDONYAAA!!!!!!!!!!!1
That darn captain cook
MrMrannoying, spreading rats, mosquitoes, and Europeans all over the Pacific.
New Caledonia is a true botany living museum.
Did you get a new camera recently? Footage looks real crisp my guy
Omg I've always wanted to surf new caledonia
I don't know most of the plant stuff you were talking about, but very entertaining!
Just discovered this channel and is this I see? A video about my home? Well slap me and call me Daisy, I'mma subscribe o'course.
EDIT : it's fun to hear things that I've known all my life (about the endemicity of flora in NC and its ore ressources etc.) as seen by outsiders, because it reminds me why I love my island
Very cool island!!
In addition to California, there are ophiolites in Oregon (Klamath and Blue mountains), and in Washington, up in the North Cascades. Sections of upper-mantle, with more or less serpentinized peridotites. I think there are ophiolites in other parts of the N. American cordillera.
one of my favorite episodes, i'll make it to new caledonia someday
I am a simple man. I hear "Good afternoon you unsavory degenerates" I click thumbs up.
Truth be told, I only watch about 40% of the video. Mostly I just come to listen to you talk.
Bless you 🙏💘
Cheers from San Diego
honest a great one weeeeeeeeeeeeeee ...thanks for sharing
he sad I'm in to that...
Nice !!!!
.
ur a mad one, but I got a love u know. anyways i'm curious if you saw any parasitaxus, amyema, ixora margaretae and that if you go to the rainforest parts. also if you go to the cloud forest on mt. humboldt - seeing libocerdus chevalieri etc.
also, i'm inspired by your measuring tattoo on your finger gotta get one of those. see ya (from Englad btw)
Hi there CPbBD! I live in MT and was wondering if you would ever consider filming an episode here in the Bitteroot. I had a family friend who taught me and her son lots of local botany when he and I were young and I want to share it with the fans.
Watching your videos cures the depression I didn’t know I had. Fuckin’ mint my guy
Gondwanan Affiliates, LLC.
this dude
hi. Please tell me, is New Caledonia warm all year round? what vegetables and fruits are grown in New Caledonia? there are poisonous insects, snakes and mosquitoes that carry malaria and dengue fever?
5:42 Leaf arrangement does remind me a lot of some manzanitas. _Arctostaphylos pechoensis_ comes to mind.
That tangent about hanging around with Jewish friends seems suspiciously specific.
Learning in a funny way... Thanks
* secretly watches just to hear him say 'indumentum' *
New Caledonia its a paradise for botanist!!
Homie went ham on that island,good shit.
Are you gonna show us some Drosera neocaledonica?
The ole Sac n Pain, I know what that's all about~
Am I an unsavory degenerate for being titillated by plant life?
Yes.
We have a nice strip of serpentine barrens just 25 miles northwest of downtown DC.
Fuckin' hell...beautiful landscape! That Cyathopsis albicans leaf shape and color reminded me of succulent varieties.
Wow, that cyanthopisis was great!
The berry looked like a yew Bush, the foliage bundles looked like tiny white pine comes, foliage and form resembles a protea... but it's a blueberry!
Fucking fantastic
And that damn dracophyllum next to it is even weirder !
I love this!
I justbfound a post card my grandad sent home from WW2 this week from when he was stationed there before heading to iwo Jima.
Hope he had some fun there
You should come to Scotland. Our land health has been abused and neglected for thousands of years, you'll feel right at home !
I really hoped to see some New Caledonian geckos :)
.
oh yeah id love to see leach's giant gecko (but maybe there more in the rainforest parts)
the "bukosky " of the outback .
The Casuarina looks like the invasive plants called Australian pines in Florida
Yeah same genus
You made it!
100f ($0.98) for a bread bag? is bread included?
Nice
please do a show on the Southern Beech :)
Yessssss
Damn if I don't like me some Cyathopsis albicans at 4:40, wonder if that can be found or grown anywhere else as an ornamental. Probably not in the pnw.
Can anyone shed some light as to why the deadfall is all so grey and not brown or something? has it got something to do with the ultramafic soil or something?
You should do a trip to Russia and go around lake Baikal. Oldest deepest lake on the planet and some of the surrounding areas are the most unchanged on the planet
You made it
