About Plants are Cool, Too!:
A video series created and hosted by Dr. Chris Martine (Bucknell University) with the primary goal of highlighting cool plants and the dynamic humans who study them.
This episode co-produced by C. Martine, Paul Frederick, Tim Kramer, and Lance Schwartz.
Wooow! I´m a park ranger from Mexico and let me say that, it happens a LOT of times, that you are in front of a rare species without even know it! Keep the good things coming!
Will do, Arturo. And thanks for doing what you do to protect cool plants.
Super cool video Chris, can't wait for the next one!!!
Thanks for your assistance, Simon!
Great job, everyone, on both the video and the rare plant work. Excellent!
Awesome ep!

Very cool! Way to go PNHP!
What I'm curious about is something that seems to be like hallucinogenic poison liverwort, growing on top of mountains in Bellefonte, PA, where water seeps out from rocks. It's brown and looks like rotten leaves pasted to the rocks, with little orange rolled up tubes sticking out. I had no idea what it was, photographed it with my horrible quality phone camera, and touched it with my fingers to show the size in the photo. After touching it, I had a terrifying sensation of reacting to a drug absorbed through my skin. I did google searches to see if liverwort ever contains druglike substances, and they say yes, but only some exotic species in New Zealand, which has effects like marijuana. I don't use any recreational drugs and have horrible reactions to all drugs in general, but I'd like to prove them wrong by showing we have a similar poison liverwort in PA.
Hello! Scott Schuette, who is a Bryologist by trade, says it sounds like you might have come across dog-tooth lichen (Peltigera).
@@chrismartine8229 The google images of that look exactly like what I found. Thank you! I've never seen it anywhere before, but the search results make it sound like it could be relatively common and viewed as a nuisance by some people. It's hard for me to view it as a nuisance because I'm learning to appreciate less well known plants. Anyway, that's it.
Hi guys im from Philippines i want to work with you voluntarily just taking new plants images in my country is it posible? Can we communicate?
well, now that it has been discovered it will face extinction.
So if the plants so rare what you doing collecting it?????????????
Like if you saw him talk at Lewisburg in school today!!!
Loved your video, very professional! Always fun to see scientists dangling from a cliff.
Especially when they a) Find cool stuff and b) Come back up!
You should have more subs you are AWESOME
