New Caledonia Botany & Eau-de-Toilette Ultramafic Special
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 лют 2020
- On the harsh iron-rich, nutrient-poor peridotite and ultramafic substrate of this region of Southern New Caledonia, we take a moment to explore some of the ancient lineages of conifers that have squeezed through the closing garage door of extinction to make it to the present day.
We will sing Tina Turner as obnoxiously as possible and learn how to say "Toilet Water" in French, while at the same time exploring the wonders of ultramafic geology and the evolutionarily-convergent trait of "stunted candelabra growth" (Liberacci never knew) among unrelated plants growing on the shores of this beautiful blue river.
Species list for this episode :
Neocallitropsis pancheri (Cupressaceae)
Dacrydium guillauminii
Retrophyllum minus (Podocarpaceae)
Beccariella sebertii (Sapotaceae)
Boronella verticillata (Rutaceae)
Araucaria rulei (Araucariaceae)
Melaleuca brongniartii (Myrtaceae)
Dracophyllum balansae (Ericaceae)
Scagea oligostemon (Picrodendraceae)
Tristaniopsis glauca (Myrtaceae)
Dendrobium verruciferum (Orchidaceae)
Myodocarpus fraxinifolius (Myodocarpaceae)
Araucaria goroensis (at the end, mislabeled as rulei)

Thanks for coming through everybody. I owe you all burritos.
Mate, after just being in Norway, i feel your pain. Few pacific pasoes heading your way.
Will do in a few hours! Take care of yourself. Really happy for us all that you made it. (Hug)
Pin this to the top dawg.
Joey Santore, right?
Sending a few dollars, in a few hours, get yourself that cannelloni. From Australia.
2:32am. Sleep can wait. Gotta learn about ultramafic flora and what the shit
Exactly
4:09 am. I be a sleepless bastard
And shit ,
Don't worry about the kids, Tony.. My proudest day was when my 11 year old daughter walked into a Canadian Tire, and asked where they "keep all the plants, and what da shit."
Still rocking the likebots mate? If you gave "Tony" a few bucks instead of india the he could afford some fancy new caledonian burritos
@@allrealityisvirtual754 Try harder, troll.
He's trolling with the 'undefendable accusation' (twice in one post, I might add) technique, knowing there's no way to 'prove' you're not doing something. Bush league, at best. It's just used to draw someone into the argument, or as a narrative plant.
'Like botting' is pretty quickly killed by YT nowadays, and is easily detectable by the hundreds of likes (or dislikes, as they use them to mass downvote people too), accumulating within minutes. What are we at now.. 56? In 15 hours?
Believe what ya want, though. I comment as a sign of support (it helps the channel), not to see a meaningless number next to a thumb.
If you need to pay people to like you then you probably have no friends
Crime Pays But Botany Doesn’t
You were right, dollface...this is da place.
Omg omg he finally got there 😍
I knew he’d make it to New Caledonia sooner or later.
Yeah,he was crying and whining from beginning about New Caledonia.Glad he make it.
Well, now we know where Dr. Seuss learned to draw trees.
I've always wanted to go to New Caledonia to witness the wicked biodiversity. Thanks for the quality entertainment.
This vegetation type seems similar to Campo rupestre in Cerrado biome. If you think that there's a wicked biodiversity in New Calendonia, you are right, and should know that Cerrado is the richest Savanna in the world in terms of plant species.
Real shame Socotra is in the midst of a second civil conflagration for the second time. That's another really nice place in terms of biodiversity. Another good one is the Galapagos, and what's left of Hawaiis.
The true fairytale of the botanist who managed to make some money talking about plants to strangers on the internet and flew off to his weird dream island in the Pacific Ocean.
You could turn that into a tv show
Three hundred plus comments and nobody mentions the fact you’re standing in front of one the the most iconic scenes from the classic BBC series ‘Walking with Dinosaurs’. The very end of the first episode, the waterfall and river feature prominently with the introduction of the Plateosaurus.
Wish I was touring this prehistoric relictual landscape myself.
I also noticed it, I’ve seen that series too many times not to immediately recognize it
This Man. .
Is a Godamn Legend
Chip Stone ~ He manages to make shit happen, doesn’t he? I can barely manage to do my dishes.
The foliage dropping is good for heat dispersion, providing more airflow to keep the sunny rock updrafts from frying them. Hence the inter-species climatic prevalence of dry bony arms.
Oh man, I hope he gets to see an Amborella trichopoda.
I wish I knew you. Thank you for what you do, for what this is, and for who you are. Cheers.
Me tooo
Wonderful!! Enjoy and travel safe:) Hugs, Gramma.
Florence? You back from the grave?!?
I miss you. Remember when you told me you'd have a mob hit put out on me when I was a smart-ass to you at age 17?
@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt Don't mean to hauntcha, dear. Just knitting and watching all those NewCaledonian beauties. Got a French translation app on yer phone,? Could be as much fun as closed captions:) Have fun!Gma.
like a wonderland of strange plants
You're my everything
Had fun watching this vid, especially hearing the " l'eau de toilette" meme; the drift towards geology was welcome😊
You made it to New Caledonia! You did it!
Yay! You made it to New Caledonia!!!
Wow, what an amazing place. On my bucket list for years, but don't want to think of the cost. You just made my day better.
My torture song: that Paul McCartney Christmas one with the annoying synthesizer that goes mewmewmewmewmew.
lol this is definitely mine as well!
Still lovely to see someone gush about the local flora back home
Just finished reading the book 'A natural history of conifers', and I thought I learnt a thing or two about the pines in New Caledonia. And this video came up, what a treat！
as a French, I am amazed by your "eau-de-toilette" pronunciation skills. New Caledonia seems to be a paradise for botanists.
Excellent footage and info.

It's my dream to go there! such interesting biodiversity! So happy you got to explore this unique place!
I hope you enjoyed the cava cava whilst there... I met the king of the kanak when I was there, completely by accident, I wandered into his seating area.
I'm so happy you got to go to New Caledonia! A place I'll never get to visit. Thanks for a fascinating glimpse into the weird ecology there :)
My musical hell was the Mamma Mia soundtrack in short snippets while working at a Borders bookstore, in Indiana.
You think you know grim? Do you know madness?
Indiana is grim anyhow. Get me outta here. Broke my neck and ruined all my dreams of leaving.
I'll take Franky Sinatra playing nonstop at Maggianos in my mid 20's for 3 years over MamaMia for 1 minute anywhere.
I do feel better. Also grateful for you and YT taking my mind on a gorgeous morning walk.
The sound of running water soothes my soul. Add in some cool flora & I'm in heaven.
Playlist from Hell would include any country song proclaiming our "Freedom" & exceptionalism.
Can I pretend to deny climate change to get in on the psychedelics? I'm a grandma without connections.
You can literally hear the plants feel happier when he says shit like "those BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS" or endearingly calls it a mortacious bastard or whatever, this guys the shit.
New Caledonia yay! I swear last week I was telling my husband I really wanted you to go there and tell me about the weird plants. Thanks! 🤩
Thx, from the Great Southern near the Stirling Ranges 🇦🇺
absolutely fascinating. thank-you so much and what the shit.
Some guy was complaining about ads today on your last vid I was about to tell him off man cause you need to go to New Caledonia and holy shit you’re there.
I do feel better after watching this. thanks!
Thank you for the vlog from the island that I am sure I will never see. A tour of nature that is both a feeding of my spirit and a fiesta for the eyes. The banter is really fun too. Thanks again.
What in the literal hell, where did this come from? Congrats on living your dream
thanks for the awesome content tony!
Glad you made it!
Oh WOW... that view is breathtaking!! Holy canoli. Thank you for another vid!!
theres some amazing geckos there to
Flageleria!! 😁
No time ever wasted with you..
Loving everything to do with it!👍
Cheers Bro! 🖤
Glad you got there! Sounds like you are enjoying yourself!
very nice job ...thanks for sharing
Absolutely *thrilled* and *delighted* that you somehow got yourself to New Caledonia! I had to spread the news to all my interwebz frens as soon as I saw this, but am saving my own initial viewing for after work when I can relish it.
Those southern conifers. Love them, love this, much thank.
Not skipping and watching all the ads for my guy 👍
Great to see you got to New Caledonia! Really enjoying the CPBBD Southern Hemisphere 2019 - 2020 Tour. Keep rockin!
Europe "The Final Countdown " is about as hellish as it gets.
man these are so nice to watch
I feel better! I feel jealous of you being in New Caledonia though too. Fun video, thank you.
Thanks, that was great.
In my best Long Island speak " you're a f...king pisser" your knowledge is amazing but the delivery is fantastic.
45 minutes? hell yes
Just excellent, yet again. I learned loads again, again. Thank you from England.
It makes me feel better, all that stuff is so nice, you opened my uneducated ass' eyes on the world of botany, ecological contexts, geological contexts all of that is so amazing, plus i love rocks and minerals and i freak out everytime you start talking about them.
@ 8:30 - Man that Alphitonia really looks weird and cool. I need to see one in person some day. What a unique look!
Wow muy buen video, hermosas plantas, espectacular,
i believe the substrate is bog iron.
glad you made it out there bro
You inspired me to finish a painting I've been working on for 20+ years plus you are a great suicide prevention what the shit. Thanks buddy. Truly beautiful.
Still hanging in there?
"gratitude" diarys have surprising success too.
Best wishes
This is so great!
I'm on my 3rd watch through already , 2 months til spring, I'm already getting days over 60 so I can get out and scout around
Won't be time for watching things once i can out and things green up, itching for morels!
I'm just dropping comments while lets ads play
thanks for the guided meditation on weird plants and rocks
What a wonderful video!! Back in 2000 I went to New Caledonia, and spent most of my time in southern part, in the ultramafic maquis. I didn't get to Chutes de la Madeleine, but I got to the Riviere Bleu park. I spent considerable time around Col de Moirange, Col de Ouanaru, and Col de Yate. In the former I saw a small Drosera--I didn't realize sundews would grow in such an area!. Besides the conifers (I saw LOTS of Agathis ovata), I was interested in Nothofagus, and was hoping to find N. codonandra at Col de Moirange, but what I thought might be it turned out to be Alphitonia--although the leaves appear similar, those of the Nothofagus are narrower. I found Beccarriella (yes, the undersides of those leaves are MOST impressive!), Pancheria, Allocasuarina and Joinvillea. The first time I spotted Dacridium araucarioides, I turned around on the main road--and got the front right tire of my rented Citroen stuck in an eroded spot that extended perpendicularly from the ditch at the side of the road--but fortunately some kind people came along and got me out of it--one attached a rope from his vehicle to my back bumper, and two others in the ditch trying to lift the front passenger side of the car, while I had the car in reverse, and it worked! On one day I visited the botanic garden in Noumea where I saw some species I hadn't seen in the field.
I hope I can go back again, and go to Mount Mou and other places. I went to a coastal area where I saw niaoli (Melaleuca). When I've mentioned having gone to New Caledonia to others having botanical interest, they often seem envious. The impression I get is that the tourist promoters are much more interested in the marine life than the terrestrial life.
You mentioned the Atlanta Botanical Garden, which had an excellent collection in their conservatory. The RBG at Mt Tomah (NSW) also has quite a few, and Alistair Watt's Otway Ridge Arboretum (in southern Victoria) is also excellent.
I miss that deep red soil--more intense than any I've seen elsewhere!
Nice. Thanks Tony, a walk in the australis forestalis has made my day.
Niiiiiice, you made it there.
I DO feel better, after watching your videos! :)
The only channel I will watch a 5min advert for
I gotta do something about these fucking ads. They're causing people hell and they don't even pay me that much
Amazing, weird primordial landscape and flora.
Your videos got me looking twice and every single plant I come across.
Thank you again for sharing the weird and wonderful with us 🙏
What a weird and beautiful place! Just what I needed today. I feel much better now
i've never been this early to such a great video
crunchpow ~ Do you have a Longboi?
this series is awesome, especially now i have a book thats actually heard of these plants thanks for recommending Aljos, even if he isnt your favourite person :)
This is one of the most calming channels on youtube in 2020. Less gloom, more plants and what tha shit! 🌱
I feel better, thanks
"Mr. Jones and Me" pure hell!
Congrats on your New Caledonia dream happening! 🌲🌲🌲
Sick vids!!
You're right about it all looking melted! Zealandia was/might still be? volcanic as heck, but being submerged and eroded and covered in bird guano until trees grew on it and whatnot makes it look less so. The ground reminds me a little of El Malpais, actually, but I've only been there once.
p.s. you're not kidding about plants being good for feeling less like killing someone. been binging this channel so I stop fantasizing about caving in the skull of the guy what destroyed my mom. really saving my blood pressure and reducing my cortisol levels, so thank you very much.
Hell yeah, you finally made it to New Caledonia!
thanks dude, peace
look for Blechnum obtusatum on the rainy side! Its an aquatic/semi aquatic tree fern.
Got it in an upcoming vid

@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt Can't wait! I'm trying to grow it from spores right now. your videos are awesome! Keep up the good work.
I was reading Farjon’s Natural History of Conifers on the Internet Archive and he has a chapter about the New Caledonian conifers and finding your videos is fantastic and brings them to life. Hope to visit this island someday
If you hadnt guess i love this series, its like seeing what the ancient confers would be getting up to in the 21st century fucking awesome!
Oh! Dear Darwin bless me! Those sweet sweet Jurassic offshoots
Best Christmas tree I’ve ever seen
The fact that any of your videos have not been dem0n3tized is a testament to how much people like the botany you're demonstrating. There ought to be way way more tight-assed people reporting these videos for whatever BS (language), but this shit is gold. You're undoubtedly doing wonders for public interest in botany.
“An over here this Podocarpaceae and over there whatever that shit” Have you ever been in a Cannoli eating contest, huh?”
Genius
I thought i saw a rodidendron until you showed the flowers. Interesting!
Love the way you do this it's the best I'v seen yet ....weeeeeeeeeeeeeee
It's so beautiful there
We need a "5 dollars to put my tongue on that" level of patreon
Nice video
Love your channel. I'm a botanist on the east coast of Australia. Make "Myrtaceous Bastard" merchandise and ill buy it!
32:13 Ok here's the deal.
I have been watching this channel for a while now,
and i know Your comedy moments.
But that one just left me laughing like lunatic.
Neocalliitropsis just gets me high by looking at it.
What a beauty. Thx
And it looks like an alien world, those plants are WEIRD.
I've never knew I could laugh so much watching a video about plants! Ha!
The macharana on loop, for eternity. Best hell playlist.
My favourite botanist.
