    This video is simply relaying the historical narrative of this species. In all honesty guys, I really don’t understand the controversy myself. I’ve seen many photos of wild crystallinums with a “closed” sinus, some of which are featured in the video, that match the original publication drawing perfectly. But I guess it just goes to show how easily Mother Nature can stump even the professionals in this game.

    Yes there are a lot of hybrids but...Anthuriums are also known for their variety within a species, so who knows what the 'real' Crystallinum is? I bet that if the Crystallinum that he painted got crossed with itself, it would still have enough variety, one being more silver, one being more dark, more wider, narrower et cetera. Great video!

    • @plantgayforlife
      @plantgayforlife  5 місяців тому +1

      Exactly! In my pinned comment I mention that I personally don’t get this confusion but all the articles out there that talk about crystallinum mention this controversy so I’m just relaying it. But I completely agree! They can vary so much, even leaf to leaf.

    A. crystallinum is sympatric with forgetii, so it is the closest relative not papillilaminum.

      @plantgayforlife  5 місяців тому +2

      That is completely false. Genetic similarity can only be determined scientifically by analyzing DNA . Not just by looking at regional pinpoints on a map. Living organisms aren’t automatically genetically similar just because they live in certain areas.

      ​@@plantgayforlife there is no phylogenetic data showing close relationship between crystallinum and papillilaminum. If you have data or scientific papers showing this, please do share. Anthurium papillilaminum is closely related and sympatric to A. ochranthum and forms many natural hybrids. In molecular phylogeny A. crystallinum shows close relationship with A. magnificum and besseae aff. Data for A. forgetii was not used in those papers. Also do not use my photo in your video without giving credit.

    Absolutely disagree regarding the pronunciation. Latin is closely related to other Romance languages so it is very clear that the English pronunciation is wrong

    • @plantgayforlife
      @plantgayforlife  4 місяці тому +1

      It doesn’t matter because Latin and Ancient Greek, the two primary languages used for botanical Latin, are “dead” languages that no one speaks. Botanical Latin is also a written language not a spoken language. It’s a means of classifying living organisms in the plant kingdom, not a language for people to speak. If you look into this you’ll find countless sources that declare no official pronunciation for botanical Latin.

      ​@@_bertExcept we aren't speaking Latin when using binomial nomenclature, rather we are constricting neoclassical compounds in English using Latin or Greek roots. Look into how English pronounces words constructed from other languages and you'll find they aren't pronounced the same as in the original language.

      This is a discussion that can never be resolved, at least not for my brain which feels like this: The native speakers of the Romance languages don’t and can’t even know if they pronounce it correctly. I am German, and Italian for example has a completely different pronunciation, which I would intuitively put closer to Latin. Although I think at the same time, I find a lot of obvious adaptations from Latin in the English language. “Errare humanum est” is certainly easier to understand for a British speaker than for a German (“Irren ist menschlich “ translated). However, although I see more parallels to the English than to the German language, particularly the vowels are pronounced as if (sometimes randomly?) interchanged. And if you travel to remote places in Scotland or Ireland, I am sometimes not sure they themselves are even able to understand what they are saying. Maybe they go back and forth asking each other “what did you just say? Can you repeat? I don’t understand a single word you’re saying!” Could be anything, maybe even Latin pronounced completely differently …😂. Anyway, nobody knows and no native speaker is still alive to correct us. As it’s no longer used for speaking but for scientific purposes, I absolutely think everyone can pronounce it how it feels right, as long as everyone else understands it. So give it a break and check if one of the plants needs anything. Peace😜

    Scientific Latin was chosen to have a uniform pronunciation of species names. You can't pronounce scientific names however you want just because you are American.

    • @plantgayforlife
      @plantgayforlife  5 місяців тому +1

      Latin was chosen because it is the foundation of many European languages, with a broad vocabulary capable of conveying precise meaning when classifying hundreds of thousands of plants. Botanical Latin also incorporates Ancient Greek, like in the name “Anthurium” for example. Latin and the Ancient Greek dialect compared to modern Greek are essential “dead” since no one speaks them anymore. So while researchers can do their best to predict how these languages were properly pronounced, we will never know for sure.

    • @1marcelo
      @1marcelo 5 місяців тому +2

      @@plantgayforlife That's not the reason why Latin was chosen. Scientific Latin, including the latinized versions of Greek words are pronounced as they were pronounced in Latin in the 17th and 18th centuries. The ancient pronunciation of these Languages is irrelevant.

I said the ancient pronunciation of these languages, which is apparently important to you and you claim that we don't know, is irrelevant to the modern use because we definitely know how scientific Latin was pronounced in the 18th century. Anyway, google why Latin was chosen as a scientific language and learn something new instead of making things up.
