The Discovery of Nepenthes leonardoi by Stewart McPherson
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 бер 2015
- A non-broadcast documentary (made just for fun) filmed during a 2010 expedition led by Stewart McPherson in search of new species of carnivorous pitcher plants (Nepenthes).
In this 23 minute film, Stewart McPherson travels to the island of Palawan in the Philippines, to climb a previously unexplored mountain. Along the journey, in uncharted territory, Stewart finds evidence of a little known tribe, a newly discovered carnivorous sundew (Drosera ultramafica) and a brand new species of carnivorous pitcher plant (which he later named Nepenthes leonardoi).
A full account of the discovery of Nepenthes leonardoi and many other spectacular new Nepenthes species is provided in the recently published book title New Nepenthes Volume 1 (available from Redfern Natural History).
Filmed by Greg Bourke.
This guy is great, a true adventurer not afraid to tackle difficult conditions with minimum carbon footprint. Amazing how resilient he is wearing simple clothes in difficult terrain.
Such a good informative video. Its so good because you’re not just talking about plants, it’s about everything. You shed light on the terrain you’re on and Alot more. It’s a well rounded video. Just imagine if you had a real documentary with high tech cameras! I mean well done.
That crab 🦀 was adorable.
These are probably vampire crabs "geosesarma". I keep Geosesarma black leg myself
I'm from Philippines and from that place I have never tried to go to unexplored area because my grandparents forbids me and many places with pitchers have tribal conflicts and arm conflicts (I'm surprised by that crab too) 😳😱☺️
Wow, Fantastic video. Being able to explore terrains untouched by man and discovering new species????? One helluva adventure. Stewart McPherson, you are the man. My congratulations to you. Mike from Miami.
I absolutely love this UA-cam page, it fuels my hunger for learning about plants
absolutely fantastic.. ive been to brookspoint which is about 50 miles from where u are in the video.. the palawan mountain tribal people would bring there produce they would grow down to a market near brooks point.. there were resturant owners from Manila present to purchase their goods.. 3 hour bus ride to puerto princesa. then an hour and 1/2 flight return to Manila
Fascinating upload! Thank you for the adventure!
Stewart, you have the chops to step into the shoes of Sir David Attenborough. Keep up the good work. Did you identify the orange crab? I like crustaceans so I was curious.
Thats what i thought! Brilliant videos, very well spoken, please keep up the work!
I also thought of David Attenborough the moment he arrived at the large stone :)
Here you are hun. Geosesarma aurantium
That largest pitcher reminds me of a coffee tumbler. 😂😂😂
Nice discovery. I'm glad you noticed a SunDew (my favorite carnivorous plant type). By the way, that hike looked miserable.
id love to hike it
Awesome fun and fascinating mini-doco here. Thankyou.
Really appreciate your documentaries. I have been interested in carnivorous plants ever since I discovered my first Sarracenia purpurea here in Canada. I have worked as a naturalist/researcher since my early experiences. Thanks.
Congratulations on your amazing new discovery. L
Man I love your books, At school we do this thing called 'Reading For Pleasure' And I pick your books all the time now, With a buddy and he loves them too. You rock man!!!
Especially Incredible Earth that is the best one I have read do far.
This is an amazing UA-cam channel! Keep exploring and learning! Love learning about botany and environments and places I know little to nothing about. Discovering and sharing knowledge and saving habitat of plants and animals is very important. Way more Important than the new iPhone or gaming system. Without the science behind why plants and animals evolve the way they do we wouldn’t know how important micro climates and untouched areas are to the health of the planet. Diversity is key. We dump money into bullshit when we should be spending money on exploration and learning.
Fantastic videos
wow its amazing in the philippines it my home country wow beautiful
Very nice find! Well done!
excellent vid!!!
Wow! Pitcher plants in natural habitat are really beautiful!
This guy is so cool!
Thank you
Thanks for your interesting video exploration.While you are out there looking in remote places, can you keep an eye out for any signs of a relic hominid please? Love Nepenthes by the way, have a few or at least one indigenous to Australia. Lovely tribute at the end and a fitting name given for the new species.
I am amaze will your dedication in finding new species of nepenthes in our country
3:02 that's Nepenthes lowii. Apparently it gains its nutrition not from insects but from squirrel shit and that photo just proves it.
slateflash we don’t have squirrels though
apdroid geek Yes there are endemic squirrels in Palawan.
the explorer is very awesome.
Welcome to my village / Meghalaya - Bangladesh Border.
there are plenty of pitcher plants and rare orchids and species. the place is incredibly beautiful.
I would hope they also digest the mosquito larvae but I would guess probably not. Love viewing all of your videos.
awesome video!
Excellent video
Congrat! Nice video :)
Very interesting plants.
Iam from BORNEO , like your content
It's really amazing, there were a ficus near to the 19:30minutes of video's nepenthes, there wasn't? I seem to have seen one
incredible
love it to watch your videos totaly stoned.
I want to go exploring for Nepenthes with Stewart! Looks really hard and fun simultaneously.
Rest in peace Leonardo! Plus that's a lovely crew right there xD I wonder if there's a cameraman following him around the forest :D
Amazing beautiful, if only u waz able to collect seeds of them .
Your guides are the real explorers
That’s proper backpacking hiking and exploring looking for something exciting
Interesting video !
Congrats!
Did you film a tide commercial after this?
lol, actually looking untidy on camera is good for a real terrain explorer. Unlike those journalists explorers that look like they have not explored shit.
Wow done . this video I like that.
Do you happen to explored already the other mountain?, Gonna look on your video list then
Thanks
My Aunt use to grow pitcher plants in their back yard in the province of Laguna, back then, I never knew it's true value, so like any playful kid would do, i placed all sorts of things inside the pitchers 😂
This video made me wanna visit Palawan. Who knew there are sundews on this Island. I never even knew that sundews can grow in the wild here in the Philippines.
I am fascinated by pitcher plants
has this ridge in the end been climbed yet? Is it Mt Victoria?
I bought a picher plant once from a orchid store ,on tha way home out poped a frog i caught tha frog and carried both frog and plant back home i placed tha tree frog in a 20gallon tank with a fire belly toad at itz botom i named that frog justian i lived 8-10 years and depending on tempertures or mood it would change itz colours from green to brown to bright blue ,amazing i called that store and asked if they usualy end wit aniamal stoaways ,they said this waz the first time they heard of thiz happtening ,i think tha pitcher plant waz from hawaii it eaz moastly green wit a little pink to red on tha top and red on tha ridge on itz botton edge
Those are crazy 😲 I'm so mind blown but damm knowing all this now I don't know if those guys are safe in the wild many people tend to get those and sell em.. specially in remote areas for easy money.... I'm thankful that it's discovered but I'm also praying that it's gonna be more dangerous to get to those guys.
What was the name of the tower droseras???? :D i love droseras!!! 🥰😍🥰😍🥰❣❤💗
I do wounder if u name any of the new species u discover
We have nepenthes villosa, rajah, tentaculata and many more here in Borneo😊
I want to have the nepenthes jambanicus in my garder
Philippines 🌿🌱
Do you take cuttings
Selecta ice cream......kahit saan, kayang puntahan....
You should do more docs
sun dew 😍
Trick to stop blood from bleeding is found at the pet store. They use It for parrots etc because if they bleed they don’t have coagulants and bleed out so they make a powder for that. Try it next jungle expedition for leeches. I remember having it with my step dads parrot and it is supposed to help blood clot in wounds
The construction they got over there in the mountain is better quality than the new build they have in the UK
Use a wireless lav microphone! Can hardly hear you when you are speaking infront of the camera .
nice job, now let's hope poachers didn't follow the new trail
Poachers have actually got to leonardoi saw it on facebook
This is awesome. How do shows like Diggers get viewers??? Way more interesting
I would be so miserable in that environment, wow.
Well.. Actually here in the Philippines you can get some plants.. Even the wild ones...but not the endangered plants
To think that there are still undiscovered species
He sounded so much like Ramsay XD
no
11:40 Oi mate! Where's the bloody sea?
7:27 of course are there tags. lul
Yet to be documented* Nearly every peak on earth has been reached by mankind at some point
How much for leonardoi nê địa pen-thet huh Stewart ? Bọn Mọi ở Châu Á họ xin tôi Tiền _ tôi thấy là nên mua gì đó và trả tiền thì tốt hơn . Hình như, tôi thấy cái địa chỉ của bạn củng mua & bán thực vật. Nice adventure !! =]]
How about that!
i am so afraid that the first plant will poison him and hurt him
What's mautain
is there at India ??
Priston Philippines
that was a rat btw, not a mouse
Any body suggest similar plant UA-cam channels 🤗
If the mountain has no name, someone should name it
Anyone
;)
Because Philippines is the the garden of Eden...... *Ophir-the land of gold
*Maharlika
Southeast asia na lahat na

Damn, talk about earned footage. That was tiresome jungle to hack through.

3:04 thats great he found a foodsource and a toilet in 1 spot ahhh mother nature tomorrow hel have forgotten where he took the shit und will drink out of this vessel like plant XD
Mày nói gì ? _?
Mount Victoria? You mean Mount Oogaboogaboogyboogyboga.
WHY DO HUMANS NEED TO KNOW EVERYTHING ??????? LEAVE THOSE PLACES ALONE !!!!!!!!!!!!
because white people
humans build nyc, why dont you go back and live in cave instead
You live in NYC shut the fuck up tourist.
Perhaps, ‘discover’ is too grandiose of a term, perhaps , ‘document’ is most likely the correct term
you never discover shit.you just name shit
Can he stop saying carnivorous?? They are not carnivorous, they’re insectivorous.. “fLEsh EAtiNg” like please shut up
Emiliano the secretions will eat your flesh over time. And they can digest proteins. So yeah. Stop trying to a act intelligent.
matanuska high I- lmao what do you mean, they digest phosphorus and nitrogen😂 in insects, lmao they can’t digest flesh, if you feed them meat (like a flytrap or sundew) the leaf dies off because they can’t break it down.. I- sis you really thought you snapped huh
matanuska high also the structure of nitrogen and phosphorous are easy for the plants to break down because that’s what literally every plant uses to grow, they can’t break down the proteins in meat because they’ve never done it, it’s like using a wrong key to open a lock, it’s just not gonna happen, stfu
Emiliano insects contain both of those also just look at insect frass. Used for fertilizer all around the world
matanuska high what the fuck are you saying, I already said that insects contain phosphorus and nitrogen.
