@@drg9812 Not necessarily true. For example: the current year's shoots of many species of aspen contain salicylic acid - a less stable form of acetylsalicylic acid - the active ingredient/original source of aspirin. You can chew an aspen shoot to achieve the same effects as an aspirin tablet - though, of course, with less precise regulation of dosage. Another common traditional medicine is camomile - which is often used in tea as a muscle-relaxant and anti-nausea medication. "Traditional medicine" simply means obtained from a natural source, rather than lab-generated (as modern aspirin is). It's true that some traditional medicines are hokum, used because "it's what grandma always recommended," or unfounded mysticism etc. However, other traditional medicines have proven effectiveness; while many others still need a ton of research to determine their efficacy (or lack thereof). PS: I'm not nay-saying lab-made medicines either, simply pointing out that not all "traditional" medicine is bunk. :)

Hydnora may be the world’s strangest plants, but they are not the world’s strangest Archaeplastids. That honour must go to the Rhodophyta (Red Algae), which are uncannily similar to plants (but red instead of green), despite the fact that Glaucophytes (unicellular algae) are more closely related to plants than are Rhodophytes.

My best guess is something like the octopus stinkhorn fungus, which does occur in the pacific Islands and most of the world. I saw it for the first time in NZ and went "jesus what is THAT"

Traps the pollinators and lets them go, you say? Interesting.

It looks like it blooms out of the upside down. I'd eat one, they look pretty tasty.

I think I saw one of these growing under a bush once, about 30 years ago in Lake Worth, Florida, USA. Yes, I know she did not include USA as one of the places where these are found. But the plant I found looked similar to this, and it smelled pretty bad. That was the one and only time I have ever seen one of these in real life. Edit: What I saw may have been a Basket Stinkhorn. Wikipedia says these fungi can be introduced to parts of the world where they normally do not grow naturally, by the use of imported mulch. The city of Lake Worth did often use mulch throughout its parks, and also under the bush I was referring to at the beginning of my post.

Please make a video about the Brazilian Ypê! It's gorgeous! Or about the Sapucaia! It's an amazonian tree with pink leaves!

Interesting. Their life cycle reminds me of cicadas, who spend most of their lives underground, sucking the life out of plant roots, and finally they pop up to breed.

0:01 That’s a langolier

PFFFF-- i was not expecting the maximum Scottish at the end!! i'm fucking deceased!

That's a fungus! :insert HIMYM meme:

Hydnora/euphorbia and rafflesia/tetrastigma are like, the two holy grails for me as an exotic plant collector. I have the Socotra dragon tree, but these parasitic ones are harder to grow. Luckily spotted spurge (a euphorbia) is a common weed around here, so finding hosts won't be as hard as getting the rafflesia/tetrastigma parasitic bond.

“Imprisonment” she wasn’t Impressed

I'm glad that little monster doesn't live around here.

Goofy goofball, made me laugh, not only did I learn something new but i got the opportunity to laugh a bit. Thank you

Makes me think of one of those mind-controlling starfish aliens from the DC Universe, just folding its limbs up, waiting. Appropriate, given it's parasitic, and those face-hugging aliens basically use the host body to do everything for them.

While you're waiting for the vid, you might be interested in the Hippomane mancinella - a.k.a. the beach apple or death apple. The fruit is brutally toxic when eaten, and the latex sap causes terrible skin lesions when touched. Standing under it when it rains or being touched by/breathing the smoke cause similar issues. There was an old Burl Ives movie, where he called manchineel "the only tree that carves its initials into you." Funny enough, in looking up the proper scientific name for it, I just learned that black-spined iguanas live in them and eat their fruit without apparent issues.

Man I really want to try out the fruit at some point. Where exactly in South Africa would you go to even find these fruits being sold? I also have to wonder what kind of labs they tried to grow these in. I can't imagine anything except maybe a greenhouse trying to replicate the environment it grows in as closely as possible being successful in cultivating these.

The langoliers are REAL!

Some of them look a little vaginal at the start of blooming, kind of strange. One wonders how their medicinal properties were discovered, and what possessed people to try them out as a remedy in the first place. Kind of cool plant critters. I wonder if previously trapped bugs keep on going for more after release.🖤🇨🇦

If they were found in a market, they were not 'discovered for the first time'.
