  • 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.

      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.

    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.

    • @CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt

    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.
