  • We'd like to thank John Wisnewski, Bob Daley, Tony Piccarino, Mary Ann Slobzcek, Al and John O'meara, Don Scapetti, Lenny Zuolo and all the others who contributed 5 dollars each to the annual "Paint a Face on a Turd" Fun-Run held this year by Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't. We've almost raised enough cash to expunge the criminal record of Betty Loren-Maltese for the funneling of cash that took place in an insurance scam in 2003 . We'd also like to thank Celozzi-Ettleson Chevrolet in Schaumburg on York and Roosevelt Road for their sponsorship of this video.
    See the world's largest tree fern, more parasitic conifers, cloudy ridges at sunset, flying foxes, bird's nest ferns and jurassic-age trees as we explore a sinkhole on the ultramafic slab (the ophiolitic nappe) that was obducted onto New Caledonia in the Eocene.

    Hey Santore,
    I was stuck on the side of a mountain in central Colorado today and I was feeling very alone. I've been watching your videos for a few weeks now and its really been helping with my mental state and my engagement with the world. Anyways as lonely as I was I suddenly felt like you were there with me, and I could see the world almost as you see it. I started filming and walking around, pointing my camera at plants while making up latin names in the best Chicago accent i could muster. I plan to look a few of them up and try to I.D. or at least attempt the D-Key dance. Basically I wanted to put some good vibes back your way because your spirit and teaching really did help me to stay calm and carry on today. Thank you for sharing and for doing what you do.

Never as fat as Dicksonias, Cyatheas shoot up much faster- you can almost watch those crazy croziers unfurl. Sexiest and hairiest ferns around! And here you are in a sea of Parasitaxus... you won't forget this trip in a hurry! There is so much great stuff here. GREAT GREAT vids, bro! (Too bad we let that chubby frog Napoleon III take over New Caledonia, and it's still French: it should be OURS, it's in the name- New Scotland and I think one of the islands is even called Brittania? Damn it. I could have gone ro retire there.)

    You might have ticked off the Palm people who watched this by not ID ing the palms. New Caledonia is a hot spot for California palmophiles. That tallest looked like an Actinokentia,but I could be totally wrong.
    Yep,love Lycopods and Selaginella. So hard to grow in the dry air bay area. The Cyathea was magnificent. I've never seen a tree fern ( I've seen a lot in the bay area) come close in mass or height as that one. I thought the Dicksonia's in GGP park were enormous..wow,that Cyathea!
