Time for the pedantic local botanist.... haha.
Your Coprosma is C. lucida.
The Astelia isn't A. hastata but the similar A. solandri, with thinner silvery foliage.
The 'miniature tree fern' is Diploblechnum fraseri (Blechnum fraseri).
The tangle fern is most likely Gleichenia dicarpa at this location and habitat.
When you first mention Knightia, it's actually lancewood (Pseudopanax crassifolius).
The first large, yellow bellied lichen was a species of Yarrumia.
You labeled the Gahnia lacera, but instead it's G. xanthocarpa.
The second large 'Lobaria' like lichen is Pseudocyphellaria faveolata.
The Corybas is EM, associated with Kunzea robusta most often not kauri.
And I'm sure you know but the Weinmannia is W. sylvicola (now Pterophylla sylvicola).
Hope that helps!
Thanks for the corrections!
With the p. crassifolius ID are you referring to the specimen at 11:09? Because that is k. excelsa.
I've said this before, but Kauri are probably my favorite trees. I mean pretty much all of the plants in northern New Zealand's forest are amazing, so many conifer and old angiosperm genre combined with all the ferns and lycophytes that it may as well be Cretaceous park. As a huge paleobotany fan, there's really nowhere better on the planet!
it is one of the trees I would love to see live and sit under for a while.
Hey hey now don't poo poo the south island. We have some amazing trees down here too 😢
How do we know you’ve said it before ?
"also known as cory, by the morey" 🤣 good stuff uncle crime plays, love ya mahi
Some real nice editing going on there Tony.
Great to see our little slice of ecosphere getting the CPBBD treatment.
Nga mihi maioha.
Quote of the decade, "burning the library before you know what's in it". The flora in NZ is like it's from another planet, in a sci-fi movie. Thanks
The plant at 9:23 could be the "teenage" form of a lancewood Psuedopanex crassifolius. Neat tree with different forms as it ages
in my years of you tubing this is quickly becoming my favourite channel
Tub girl
@@Haliotro 🤨
Wow the tiny orchid was so neat. I haven’t seen that one before
You are the Botany GOAT! 🐐
Got to say one of the better vids on northland bush.think I counted over 50 types of fern standing in one spot next to my house,always amazing what you see if you look small.got these green hood orchards that flower once every 4-7 years,remain under ground most of the time…lovely.Cheers from the far far north.nz.
We love Alan! 😎🤩🍄
ARAUCARIA ENJOYERS EVERYWHERE REJOICE! plus the new caledonia throwbacks on the instagram story!!! yaaaay my favourite spiky guys
Ayyyy a fellow Aruacariaceae enthusiast! Podocarps are great too. So many underrated conifers out there.
Hands down some of the most beautiful land on the earth in my opinion!
I think you're right about the change in leaf shape being due to Moa. Lancewoods are a striking example of that. Long spiky leaves when young but when mature the tree has a bare trunk with a little tuft of leaves right out of moa reach/amongst the canopy. There are a handful of other natives in the same genus (Pseudopanax).
Could be, but it'll forever be a "just so" story, I'm afraid. I always wonder what the plant composition would look like with them back in the forest.
HOLY SH*T! These are massive! As a Forester in Pacific Northwest for the last 40 Years I am impressed! I’ve seen & measured in person the biggest-Circumference, height, and oldest Aged Trees on the Planet and these are incredible!
Wow! Thanks for sharing!
myyyy goodness youre one of my favourite humans ya give me faith in humanity and to see ya do a vid in lil ol nz this has made my year thanks bro
I’m glad I’m not the only one who struggles to identify mature trees in Aotearoa’s temperate rainforests: the bark is so often covered in lichens and bryophytes, and if you look up there’ll be 20 species of climbers, lianas and epiphytes in the way of seeing the foliage! I often rely on fallen foliage, flowers or fruits to get an ID. But the diversity is just breathtaking, and the sense of lushness from all the mosses and ferns can be overwhelming.
Exquisitely fascinating! Some of those plants look like they survived the Dinosaur Age! I think I once heard where New Zealand was the lushest place on earth.
Te puku o te ika (the stomach of the fish, central north island) is very green, dad’s from Tauranga where i was raised and whenever i go up north to Te hiku (the tail) region where my mum’s from i find it a lil dry and desolate, not too extreme but definitely noticeable in vegetation
@@uggali I would love to be able to visit New Zealand one day on holiday. My main hobby is gardening and I think it would be a great trip.
@@kso808 since you’re interested in NZ plants and gardening i’m gonna share u a homemade series by this British artist who grew a native garden for wildlife over the span of about a decade. I’ve honestly watched it atleast a dozen times i think it’s underrated gold🤌
th-cam.com/video/aQgUKj85KQ4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=R_llSFwaU-v2nf7b (11 parts i think)
Thank you😌in 2006 i visted NZ and walked silently into the cathedral of Kauri Trees. The size of Tāne Mahuta! Huge Ferns too. Gratitude they didn’t harvest all the Kauri Trees for ship masts😐back in the day. I Love New Zealand, left a bunch of my clothes at a secondhand store so I had room in my backpack for yarn🤭🧶More Sheep there than people and some of the most beautiful yarn. No scary critters🐍in NZ. Thank you for the botany lesson 🙏🏼
Worth the wait 🎉
The editing is really fine my dude.
That tiny orchid was out of this world. When spring comes I'll check out some terrestrial orchids in Sweden.
NZ looks so amazing, hope the local biosphere won't become more wrecked by the human tumor.
For all I know, it still looks like this weather-wise in NZ! I love all the references to the PNW because I'm from there. Keep up the great work!
Man i bet there are so many cool arthropods under those flakes of bark. Bugs love that shit so much
Oh look at you with the fancy intro.. Haha nice work man😄
this is one of my favorite trees, im so glad you got all these shots of it
It was such a pleasure seeing your videos popping up while you were in NZ. Hope you come back again someday, I hear the south island is quite nice!
Seems nice, 7 months after, this videos dont have expiration date,is always good to see, even in the next year.✌️
Love the music! The footage on is incredible, what a unique place
Yaaay, another video about our wonderful NZ forests!
Fantastic knowing what everything is, and saying it! I enjoyed the film ferns and lichens.
Love your work man!
Unbelievable abundance, what a pleasure this is!
amazing video! would love to see a video on Vancouver island or bella coola on the rainforest there!
Dude you gotta be here in summer, its a solid 30C out. The plants are going nuts and the bugs are absolutely fascinating in this weather
The Freycinetia banksii is thought to be partially bat dispersed.
I am also partially bat dispersed.
so glad to see more forest content from you
What an amazing landscape of giant trees and unique moisture loving plants. I can just image a 10' Moa stomping and bellowing throught the forest.
interesting and informative, looking forward to the next part
always a good episode if alan shows up
I want to know WHO named Corybas cheesemanii? That "Kidney Fern" is really cool too.
Your second Corybas (I think).and a NZ endemic !
Corybas were flowering like crazy this year! You find these big patches of them where the mycorrhizal fungi is present. They are utterly delightful.
love your analogy... burning the library before knowing what is even in there... How fukkin smart, our specie.
Just WOW! Heaven on Earth. I just wish I was there. So many ancient lineages of plants !
Dam the place looks like the set of Jurassic park or jumanji or something
Strybing arboretum has that cloud forest section with some of these plants - probably. It’s a pretty legit arboretum ain’t it?
The safe word is Oklahoma.
Brotha you rock 🤘🏻
Thanks for the video! Would love to see you travel to Madagascar
He's been there.
I'm personally waiting for him to check out the rest of Melanesia (he's done New Caledonia already), Fiji, Vanuatu, Solomon islands, and particularly New Guinea
yeah if you look back you'll find the videos from his visit... I want to say a year ago, but then again, it all kinds of blends together it was either part of the same trip or the trip before this trip which was last year, and videos from South America mixed in... I think South America was the trip before the trip to S. Africa
i would love a weird fruit explorer collab, it would be bomb
Tony’s weird, but he’s no fruit.
@@canadiangemstones7636 I say let them fruity be fruity, i dont judge
Nice video dude now I wanna learn more about Aotearoa's flora as being A kiwi our plant's are really like nothing else so thx for this video.
Bro this is my country! Love your content especially the ones about psychedelic mushrooms. Come back again it’s beautiful to look at our native lands through yours eyes, you really know your stuff but your Te Reo is shit 🤣♥️
@1:38 my dad loves turning bowls out of wood on a lathe. i would like to learn more about rare wood, and where / how they naturaly exist. for preservation. like ebony. and stuff. ipe wood.
you can see baobab trees in holly wood florida at young circle.
Such beautiful habitat!! I was curious and did a little reading... is the tiny orchid corybas cheesemanii?
Yes, like the caption states
Whoops. 😅 I thought it was odd that there was no ID (so I thought)
I must have looked away for a second or two. Missed the caption completely. I went back in and I saw it. Thanks for letting me know ❤
big, thick, & hard shaft enjoyers - rise up!
It's not late it's divine timing! Each plant will blossom when the time is right. 😊🙏🏻
Makes me want to get out and have a look around the South Island
livin the dream
The soil in NZ must be really fertile too. I'm pretty sure it's geologically relatively young so the fertility is still pretty good !? Great video Joey !
If you go to wellington, zealandia bird sanctuary is nice
@11:55 haha he said dominatrix.
Agathis is the youngest of the family. Appeared in Paleocene.
Can we get a playlist with all the videos and other playlists organized by region? I'd like to hit play and forget. It would totally help with views. I only see a couple in your playlist section.
"Known as koory by the moory" 😃
Im in western NY and to me that place looks like you need to hide from dinosaurs
The sap of Agathis dammara (almaciga) is used in the Philippines for incense and even for things like caulking boats. I imagine kauri sap could be used the same way.
21:42 we call that ure for what it looks like and back in the day Māori fermented it into alcohol, same as tutu berries but for those they had to remove the seeds cuz theyre our most poisonous plant and the nectar can make our honey toxic
Ahhhh my Australian friend talked about Manuka honey. that makes sense.
I had no idea,but I love this shit
Love it 💚 .. and wondering if there's a support grefor people who turned down LOTR.. 🤦♀️
(Dont buy kinle 7s)
Where is old Zealand? Like the OG Zealand
Netherlands
5:36 Porrhothele antipodiana? Right above the resin nodule...
The "Knightia" at around 9:28 is actually an adult form of Psuedopanax crassifolius.
NO tree climbing for these beautiful shots looking like Avatar (TH-cam doesn't have Papayrus font) got me feeling a little tiLted - maybe high , no been at work too long for that, just a little tiLted
❤❤❤
Gad dayum!
If you get a chance to come across to australia, come to the south west, I'll show you a forrest that'll change your life. I got me some bumps on the head from the local cops while trying stopping loggers from cutting it down in the 90s but the worst of that logging ended a while back and theres some majestic forests that are still down here. Its paradise in the south west, even if the retirement plan gentrifiers are trying to fuck it up for us local folk
@4:15 trippy.
Woah music
why weren't Agathis species more common in horticulture since they are quite adaptable and profitable to grow?
Man, I'm dying to know the intro's song name
You're walking on the highest part of the submerged continent of Zealandia. That's why there is limestone in the deep South Pacific. It ain't all oceanic basaltic crust.
lets gooo
On your list of Podocarpus, you missed Podocarpus nivalis
What's the tune at the beginning?
Hi we grew a succulent from aseed mix and don’t know what it is
I thought he was joking about that Oklahoma judge and the penis pump but I googled it and it's a real story from 2006
Bro can you go to far North Queensland and find all the poisonous spikey angry plants.
@gregstrosnider3505 there’s a kind of palm that has spikes, hooks and vines all over it too. I visited once for mountain biking and a guy in our group was ripped off his bike after it got hold of him. So cool
Makes me feel sick to know that the "human tumor" is putting NZ's ancient Kauri forests in jeopardy. Here in Australia, we have a similar problem with _Phytophthora_ which afflicts a range of native plants, including Kauri relatives like the Wollemi and Bunya "pines". Please, in future, take a moment and warn potential visitors of the need to _thoroughly clean_ footwear and hiking equipment before leaving marked paths and tramping into the undergrowth. 70% alcohol, 3% hydrogen peroxide, or 5% hypochlorite bleach are all effective against _Phytophthora._
They've got those all over the island unfortunately they are unlikely to do much good. We have another species of Phytophthora in California that swept throughout the Quercus and Notholithocarpus populations as well as another species afflicting Chamaecyparis lawsoniana. Keeping people out of places was met with limited success as animals transport this organism as well. It might buy some time though
@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt: There is a big difference between the capacity of humans to act as vectors for plant pathogens versus wild animals. I don't think animals brought us Myrtle Rust, either. Honestly, it takes but a moment to be careful.
@@damonroberts7372 bringing into a country and dispersing are two different things. I'm by no means ridiculing the stations, I'm simply stating from experience that Phytophthora is extremely hard to control and often just has to "blow through" an area. Further, it just gives some people things to gate keep and act like cops about (already got accused by some pencil neck here of "going off trail" to film the bark on young trees when the trees I filmed weren't even in the park but were directly off the road three miles South). That said, the sanitizing stations are great and important, I still just don't think they're going to halt it. Again, phytophthora is kind of like wildfire more than it is chestnut blight.
Anyway, have a good day. Thanks, go duck yourself
Hmm, this seems like another one that might like the low elevation, western slopes of far southwest Oregon's Siskyou mountains, maybe with some nice southern exposure. In the vicinity of Brookings to Gold Beach.
Plenty of fall and winter rain, very mild temps at low elevation, with goodly quantities of morning and evening drizzly fog in the summers.
Too many hard freezes. Even most of the South Island species wouldn’t do well.
In terms of paleobotany the perfect area in N. America no longer exists, but it would have been California before it dried out. That’s how pines with extremely relict native ranges are the most widespread commercially planted in the Southern Hemisphere.
@@saoirsecameron - _A. australis_ does manage in Cornwall, UK, although I suppose winters are a little warmer there than the far southern Oregon coast. Still seems to me one might find a microclimate near Brookings.
Make Araucariaceae great again
Do you know of a succulent identifying app
@19:12 is it carniverous?
Holy shit hanging with the Kiwi’s eh??!!! Yay
Why don’t you hop on over to the poppy fields of Tasmania while you’re out that way?! ✌️
I get around I get around woohooooo
Those aren't trees, those are ents.
Discovery wishes they were half this hot
cheeeers!
Dude, you need to see the plants of Taiwan.
While I don't know if it is true today or even back when I first read about these trees in the 70's, it was claimed in the book with pictures and given a name as well... also, its location was not presented other than the general location. And if I go and look from memory that would seem to be the Great Otway National Park area? However, it was claimed to be the largest tree on the planet in height as well as mass and just eking out the tallest Redwoods, but those natural wonders had already been decimated to a meaninglessness by human beings at this point too.
The name was other than the tree species... it wasn't anything like Phil or Bob...
I have also read about a tree that is connected by its root system and even though it looks like many trees on the surface it is really only one tree? I don't know what the mass is here, but it would seem to be pretty hefty too.
@@thewefactor1 You're probably thinking of Pando, an aspen clonal colony!
