    In this episode we botanize the biology department and botanic garden of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Mexico in Mexico City. The entire campus is built on an old basalt flow from the surrounding volcanism, making for a very interesting landscape. Though they wouldn't let us into the herbarium or bookstore, they also didn't throw us out. Tolerant, wonderful UNAM.
    *The species referred to as Echeveria gigantea here is actually Echeveria gibbiflora.
    Isolatocereus dumortieri is also a wonderful beast that deserves honorable mention in the caption.
    Your contributions support this content. It sounds clichéd, but it's true. Whether it's travel expenses, vehicle repair, or medical costs for urushiol poisoning (or rockfalls, beestings, hand slices, toxic sap, etc), your financial support allows this content to continue so the beauty of Earth's flora can be made accessible to the rest of us in the degenerate public. At a time when so much is disappearing beneath the human footprint, CPBBD is willing to do whatever it takes to document these plant species and the ecological communities they are a part of before they're gone for good.
    Plants make people feel good. Plants quell homicidal (and suicidal!) thoughts. To support Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't, consider donating a few bucks to the venmo account "societyishell" or the PayPal account email crimepaysbutbotanydoesnt@gmail.com...

      That's nice y'all got a free mattress!!!
      Hey, howz about giving it the test of time for all of us???
      As in - let us know if you still like it this time NEXT YEAR!
      Like, seriously.
      Think of your freebies as an experiment from which the rest of us can benefit from your results.
      I'll be looking forward to finding out how well it holds up.
      Because if you think about it, many a you tuber can advertise getting a NEW mattress, and many do.
      But when do we hear how that same mattress has held up over time??
      Personally - the answer is NEVER.
      Maybe it's just me who keeps missing these updates?
      Altho, I kinda doubt it since I'm a very loyal viewer who rarely misses "episodes" from channels I like.

    Speaking of Mexico City, I do stuff with Mesoamerica (Aztec, Maya, etc) and my favorite topic is how obsessed the Aztec were with botany and flowers, with highly developed sciences (like, literal taxonomic systems and academic botanical gardens and ecological displays, I'll explain further down) and practices around them. Mesoamerican cities planning itself had a big emphasis on incorporating open spaces and naturalistic elements into themselves, with city centers organizing temples, palaces, etc around plazas, and palaces in turn having open-air courtyards rooms were arranged around, with gardens often being built into communal spaces or inside or around palaces, and then radial suburbs of commoner residences extending out, interspersed with agricultural land or managed natural reserves and agroforestry.
    But the Aztec sort of took this to another level. Most of Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital (which was located in the middle of a lake, now drained) was built out of artificial islands known as chinampas, which involved staking out the shallow lakebed, filling it with layers of soil and vegetative matter, and then anchoring it to the lakebed via planting Willow trees; with canals left between the land plots and fields (this was used to make both urban/residential and agricultural space. This used local soils, preserved the existing ecology with the lake system with fish and amphibians, the trees acted as wind breakers and the canals/plots as flood management, and for food production were basically super-efficient hydroponic farms. So a huge amount of the city was criss-crossed with venice like canals that ran through suburbs with tons of greenery and flowers, and then you also had massive, richly painted palace and temple complexes, giant markets, aquaducts, royal zoos, aquariums, aviaries, etc.
    It was REALLY common for Aztec rulers to have giant botanical gardens built into palaces or royal retreats: At Huaxtepec Moctezuma II had a royal botanical garden that covered 10 square kilometers with over 2000 kinds of plants, some of which were intentionally brought in from different climates to see if they would grow there. At Texcotzinco, a site of a royal palace retreat, baths, and gardens for Nezahualcoyotl, the most famous king of the second most powerful Aztec city, Texcoco; the bathes and gardens were fed water via a 5 mile long series of aqauaducts, which at some points rose 150 feet off the ground, had a series of pools and channels to regulate the flow rate, and then the aquaduct formed a raised circle around the peak of the hilltop the palace and baths were at, where the water flowed into fountains and shrines with painted frescos and sculptures, and then finally formed artificial waterfalls that watered the gardens at the hills base, which had different sections to emulate different Mexican biomes and ecosystems.
    As the playing around with ecology and growing conditions implies, a lot of these royal gardens weren't just recreational elite pleasures, but were actually a precursor to modern academic botanical gardens (indeed, it's been suggested the first European examples of that, which show up in Europe within the next century or so, were inspired by Aztec examples, since there's some other academic borrowing of botanical science, which I'll get back to): You had them stocking plants used for medical purposes, experimenting with growing conditions and properties, sorting them into taxonomic systems (not phylogentically, because no theory of natural selection, but still a formal taxonomic system, even with a binominal naming scheme!) etc! I don't know if we have sources disscussing the mangement of them, but we know that Moctezuma's zoo and aviary had full time staff to care for animals and there's even been Jaguar remains found that had healed surgical wounds, so there surely would have been career botanists caring for and overseeing things.
    Sadly, of course, almost all Prehispanic Mesoamerican books and documents were burned by the Spanish, but we do have some surviving botanical documentation, mostly from sources with joint Aztec-Spanish authorship made during the early colional period that is describing Aztec botany, such as the Badianus Manuscript and books 10 and 11 in the Florentine Codex. Both of these sources also describe a ton of pharmaceutical and medical applications for plants and herbs, with the Aztec also having really developed medical and sanitation practices for the time (there was an entire fleet of civil servents that washed buildings and streets and collected waste from public toilets to reuse for fertlizers and dyes, to name one example_), with tons of toothpastes, mouthwashes, soaps, colgones, perfumes, laxatives, ointments, etc; and we have recorded surgeries for skin grafts, eye surgery, the first recorded use of intramedullary nails as a surgery to set broken bones, better understanding of the circulatory system then europe at the time (makes sense, conidering all the ways blood and sacrifice played into the religion), etc. Francico Hernandez, the personal naturalist and physician to Philip II, actually traveled to mexico and documented Aztec medicine, botany, and zoology (sadly only some of his records on this survive) and begrudgingly admitted Aztec sciences here were better then Spain's. There's even a theory that the famous Voynich manuscript was one-off attempt at transcribing Nahuatl into it's own script and is an Aztec botanical record, though last I heard most Nahuatl linguists don't seem to agree with that.
    And then there's all the ways flowers and d plants played into art and poetry and such. People love to talk about sacrifice and skulls and such with the Aztec, but ANY sort of context you could possible imagine they'd find a way to slap flowers or birds/feathers or jade into things artistically, and those 3 things were seen as the prime symbols of luxury and elegance, in the same way we talk about Gold or Diamonds. Newborn childern were talked about by their parents in nursery songs as bundles of jade or flowers or precious feathers, The word for "poetry" in Nahuatl/the Aztec language litterally meant "flowery song", soldiers who died in combat (or mothers in childbirth) were reborn as hummingbirds or butterflies, one of the best afterlifes, Tlalocan, was a floral and aquatic mountain paradise (which surely many botanical gardens built by them were meant to emulate, etc).
    For people who wanna read more on this, I recommend "An Aztec Herbal: The Classic Codex of 1552" (an annotated translation of the Badianus manuscript) and "Flora of the Codex Cruz-Badianus" (there's also some high res color scans of the original Badianus manuscript online on the INAH's mediateca site); Book 10/11 of the Florentine Codex, "Public Health in Aztec Society", "Aztec Medicine by Francisco Guerra" (though it repeats outdated, disproven info re: inflated sacrifice totals), "Empirical Aztec Medicine by Bernard R. Ortiz de Montellano", and "Precious Beauty: The Aesthetic and Economic Value of Aztec Gardens" (and a lot of papers/books by Susan Toby Evans, who is an expert on mesoamerican gardens and palaces), and Kelly McDonough and Enrique Rodriguez-Alegria's research on testing Aztec medical treatments. A lot of this stuff is published online for free as open access research, too. I also have extended writeups about this I've made myself (I do essays and help history/archeology channels with stuff on Mesoamerica), if people want that messag me on twitte, I'm Majora__Z

    I always feel so bad for the plants unlucky enough to end up at Home Despot. They once had unwatered, dying orchids all over their tables, and I told the manager who said it’s no big deal because they’ll just send the dead ones back to the supplier for a refund. He completely missed the point of my concern. The next week, I found tiny succulents sitting in an inch of standing water. They suck!

      Ha! Come to my town, the existence of this vid as well as finding this type of content or trying to explore in this way are absolutely a jailable offense. Sadly I’m only half joking… I had to pigs drive thru the soccer field my daughters team was practicing on last year, lights on multiple cruisers, cops jumping out with weapons drawn on me for walking along the overgrown unkempt fence row and simple observing and exploring the botany there.
      They claimed they received calls of a crazy man talking trees, a suspicious man trespassing, someone searching for pot plants as well as a strange looking loner peeping on the kids… oh an accusation of being dirty homeless and threatening to all the women and children present. All those accusations were from one single event, but each from separate officers… i was literally walking in open, but and the very edge of the thick vegetation that the bush hog simply couldn’t reach without risking getting snared in the old wire fence… but to be fair I did bend down and picked a vine of wild cucumber that I was going to show the kids because it’s such an aggressive looking spiny plant that I thought the kids MIGHT find vaguely interesting, full disclosure, I do look a certain type of way and I’m aware that folks don’t think it’s normal… but I also don’t have a single piercing, tattoo, and I’ve I ever dyed my plain brown hair… so I’m not sure what people find so objectionable… oh yea, I’m white and the county is 96% white so… yea… 🤷that was hardly the first time cops had been called on me for being a homeless vagrant lol, jokes on them tho… I grew up as the 7th generation of my family to farm to same 100 acres. Sadly it wasn’t profitable so dad had to sell it an I live in an average home in an average neighborhood with a fairly cheap mortgage. I highly value stability and those are the only 2 homes I’ve ever lived in… I just love people!
      A few years before I was hiking/ hunting morels on the local 3200 acre wildlife management area, which is really just a derelict overgrown farm, with very few trees over 70 years old… I’m not sure who saw me or what they saw me do but that time it was only 2 officers in 2 separate black n white marked SUVs, but both approached with one hand on their pistol, the accusation that time was just a report of suspicious activity… I’m guessing I was spotted spending too much time bent over observing something, but I may have been observing a plant, a fungus, or box turtle maybe a snake or toad …while down on hands and knees. I don’t really know, I’d seen a few other people around that time as they were walking on the mowed gravel path that used to be to farm driveway.
      Moral of the story, people are weird and easily scared! As ACAB. F ck the blue line gang!
      That’s about all I have to say about that…
      Careful out there.

    I'm from South Africa and there they love to steal your hub caps there. To replace them costs a stupid amount at a dealers. So most buy them third party (probably buying back your stolen ones). So it's easy money for the thief!
    You'll see everyone zip tie their hubcaps to the inner rims.

    Solanaceae flowers are like Brassica flowers. They both have that same kind of look. As far as common names. It's easier to describe a plant to someone who has little interest in classifications.

  • @sicko_the_ew
    @sicko_the_ew ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That solanum looks very much like the Solanum (I don't know what species) known in the moister parts of South Africa as "bugweed". Interesting to see it where it belongs. If it's the same species, AFAIK it's not poisonous, but it stinks a bit when you cut it down.
    There are plenty of places in "KZN" whose only plants are aliens. "Wattles" from Australia, bugweed, some Eucalyptus, all with thick Lantana (a climbing, poisonous one the cuts you get from scratches while cutting it down get very inflamed, and there was a story that it killed some elephant a few years ago - which is hard to believe, given that it probably tastes the way it smells), and then "glory peas" and other pretty flowers that escaped gardens, or arrived with Boer War fodder for the horses and never left again.
    A place like that can almost look like a little forest, until you notice that there aren't any birds around (or few of them). The aliens don't cater to the very specific tastes of most caterpillars, and if there aren't nice worms and things to eat, what's a bird to do?
    That would be bad enough, but it's actually less destructive than the sugar cane all around. "Tall lawn". Maybe you need to do one on how to kill your sugar cane - although the industry might come and get you for incitement to commit some or other crime if you did.
