- Giant groundsels look like poorly drawn palm trees - but they're not even trees.

Exploring the World of Plants and Fungi
For the ones wondering, it's "giant groundsels." The automatic subtitles calls them "giant ground souls."
A video on convergent evolution in plants would be cool. I know the botany geeks would love that.
oh yes please
Ok thanks man love you ❤❤❤❤
Rosette plants like the giant groundsel have evolved multiple times. The high mountains of Ethiopia have giant lobelias. The silverswords of Hawai’i are another example of a tropical alpine rosette plant.
The Great Basin Bristlecone Pine (Pinus longaeva), the oldest tree on Earth. They can be found in California and Nevada. I actually saw that tree about two years ago when I took a family trip to California
We've covered it! th-cam.com/video/lVI_8KKX5To/w-d-xo.htmlsi=XtyqxaW2QCkjBXjE
Yes 🌲
Love me some Floralogic. Tasha, please never stop being you. You're a straight goofball, lol!
I like a host more sedated like she is now, in some other videos it's really hard to listen to her. either she's too loud or mumbling, it was very erratic, couldn't keep up fiddling with the audio so I just unsubscribed and hit don't recommend channel.
but this is ok, I can listen without damaging my ears or annoying the neighbors.
old version of her kinda reminded me of the Geography now guy that I also couldn't listen to, he said he has ADHD and is now on medication and his newer videos I can listen to and not get migraines from his erratic screaming that I also couldn't find a sound volume where I could listen to him. which is a shame because his vids were fun, but luckily YT is full of creators for every ear capacity and wall thickness.
Attenborough ftw though, I kinda want his voiced AI cloned when he passes away, but I can imagine it will be abused and misused so maybe it shouldn't be, I'll certainly miss his narrations.
- This plant is so pretty. 🪴 🌱 🌿 🌾 Thanks Tasha 😊 we need more of these videos from you.
Do you think the next plant you guys could do is spider plants. I find them fascinating because of the indestructibility.
I was obsessed with these plants for years thank you for making this
One of these days there's gonna be more outtakes than regular content... and I'm here for that day!
being Indigenous AND an ethnobotany nerd, would be amazing to hear Tasha speak on the ahuehuete or ceiba; specifically for their cultural ties to so many Mesoamerican religions...not to mention uncle-ceiba is a marvel in itself
It would've been wonderful if you guys had spelled out the so called "GIANT GROUNDSEL" on the screen in addition to its latin name. Because for non-native English speaking audience, like me, it's quite hard to decrypt how that word could be spelled, as we all know English is not a phonetic language, and the AI-generated subtitles didn't help either.
As a native English speaking person I still could not understand for a while until I read it either
It would be helpful to have the name(s) in the description, too. You show the botanical name the first time at 1:25, that's a bit late. You have to watch a quarter of the video just to see how it's spelled.
I would love if you make a video about espeletia "frailejones" and its important role in the water cycle.
At first I though this video was about it but aparently they convergently evolve the dendrosenecia branching too.
Plants are SO AWESOME.
These look like a giant tree version of some of the succulents I own \ grow at home.
😄👍
trees can also be flowering plants. that was odd. also agave are succulents
Sempervivum Arachnoideum.
It's a succulent that changes into the most pretty deep red-purple with silver dust inside during the winter months and it naturally grows white hairs that cause it to look like it's covered in spider webs.
Kinda perfect for the spooky season.
😄👍
I hope you can make a video about Strangler Figs next. Especially now that Holloween is coming! Great content as always.
Great video and I know its hard to make plants fun, cute or entertaining -stay strong
The production value and narration is awesome
@@rivaillewaiss true
At this rate, Tasha's outtakes are going to reach half of the total length of the videos, and I'm TOTALLY here for it!
Older than America? Hmm... I think my garden wall is older than America... 😂
Bro's from the UK 💀
The US is not that old we are actually a young country compared to many others.
there's probably mold growing in somebody's attic that's older than the U.S.
Well, your wall may be older than the US, but it’s not older than America. America is 2 continents and is millions of years old. And yes, they had it wrong on the video too.❤️🤗🐝
Probably outlast it too, from an American shameful as it is.
I think the geographic aria know as America whas formed when the Caribbean, North- and South-American tectonic plates collided, not when the country known as the USA was formed ❤
Before it was the USA it was Turtle Island not America. Turtle Island is composed of Canada, US, and Mexico. Boarders were landmarks from various tribes but no indigenous person saw this land as 'America' not until all the horrific events occurred.
@@houndgirl7365 are you aware if there's a native name for both Americas?
isn't it great how one narcissistic country hijacked an adjective meant for two entire continents
@@MisterNohbdy well, no. I'm not American btw so this isn't coming from a place of bias.
First and foremost you have North and South America, often collectively referred to as the Americas. America is derived from the last name of an Italian. I am not saying it had no name before this, I'm simply stating some etymological facts (or what is widely accepted as fact). There's more details but they're not necessary. You're free to do your own research.
After that, understand that USA being called USA simply makes sense. There were states. They all (eventually) conjoined to become one country. That country was in North America. So it's called United States of America. Sure it could've been named united states of north America, but it not being named so has nothing to do with narcissism of the states' or country's people. It was simply a named used by a few and it stuck. If anything, maybe blame the hubris of those few? Anywho, carrying on.
Finally, one major driving force of language is efficiency. It was inevitable that USA, being the name of the country and a country that is all spoken of a lot (for good and bad reasons), would be shortened by a lot of people. America is just one of those shortened names.
As a small aside, American, the adjective, predates the country, USA, handedly. It referred to first the native inhabitant of north America (from what I'm seeing) and then settlements of either north America or generally the Americas (not sure, too lazy to search for a clarification). I'm also too lazy to check whether American was used to solely refer to Native North Americans. The point is, American being used the way it is has everything to do with the history of the word and the European colonisers, and nothing to do with present day American narcissism
When i see Tasha in the bloopers all quirky all i can think of is: "ONE OF US!! 👀" 😂 definitely also a neurodivergence's mind at work 💜💜💜
yeah i was wondering when we got introduced to her, is she really from the Amazon?? some more info and rapport with her here would be cool
Am i the only one that is reminded of the old videos of Eartha Kitt when i see this video?
I am convinced, "America"is much much older. Possibly you mean the state "U.S.A", not America.
I want to try and grow some.
I’m totally high enough.
My winters can get cold at night though, and freezing for a week or so sometimes, and it rarely rains.
You should write the word groundsel somewhere lol. I had to look it up because the closed captioning says "giant ground souls".
She's saying "giant groundsel" but I kept hearing "giant ground squirrel."
I greatly admire your engaging presentation on the world of plants, particularly in the context of Mount Kilimanjaro. As a Mount Kilimanjaro guide working and admire the beauty of this mountain, I truly value your efforts in explaining the diverse flora in such an interesting manner.
At the 2:36 timestamp, I observed a small error. The image displayed corresponds to Lobelia deckenii, not Dendrosenecio kilimanjari. I kindly suggest rectifying this discrepancy for accuracy.
Hope in the future content, you will take a look of Lobelia deckenii and/or Impatiens kilimanjari. Your dedication to educating us about these plants is truly commendable.
I wouldn't mind if the video had like 10 or 20 minutes of outtakes and bloopers honestly :D Tasha cracks me up
how about Dracaena draco, or "Drago", the symbol of one of the Canary Islands in Spain called Tenerife.
I would love a video on gumbo lilies, that grow in nutrient poor rock filled prairies. I would also love a video collab with Crime Pays but Botany Doesn't sometime!
There is a very interesting convergent evolution with the Frailejon (espeletia) in South America
Since it's spooky season, I'd love to see a video about Cucabrids specifically PUMPKINS
Convergent evolution has made the giant rosettes of the genus Espelia in the northern Andes tremendously similar in morphology with an equally spectacular evolutionary history. Also subject to a strong evolutionary radiation due to their island-like biogeography in the high mountains before the glaciers start arising.
The bloopers are especially hilarious LOL
Older than America???? Wow very very interesting ❤❤
A friend offered me a giant groundsel seedling (domestically grown by a tropical plant collector), recently. My garden is tiny, so I had to refuse. 😅
They look like something I'd see in the background of a dinosaur illustration
More about orchids please
This is our current Orchid video! th-cam.com/video/LN6bW9mmOfs/w-d-xo.html
We don't repeat many topics on the channel because there are just too many fascinating species to cover!
Those plants are all over Mt. Kenya and Rwenzori, as well.
One day we'll get a Joshua Tree video.
Tasha the Amazon is the sole reason I subscribed to this channel. What a glorious, funny, smart, informative woman she is! And oh... she rolls off her botanical names like a pro.
All round great content team, keep up the good work.
Tasha I love you video much love all the way from Nicaragua 🇳🇮❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Everyones talking about the Americas and whatnot, so I did a little digging. The Americas (the continent) are 200 million years old, but groundsels are thought to have evolved 1 million years ago.
Really wish u talked about Speletia from South America!! They're also an Astareacean that evolved for high elevations and became VERY similar to these groundsels!!! Kind of crazy!! Parallel-Convergent evolution???
It does resemble a stressed out Montauk Daisy. All of the leaves brown out leaving the leaves to look like brown spiky skin, minus the top part. The top of the stem has few leaves that resemble a crown. It takes a few weeks before the new growth pushes out the dead leaves.
4:21 Yeah NAW I didn't need that image in my head XD
Thank you!
Loved this episode. Beautifully alien plants. One question: what criterion/a make this not a tree? Because I heard nothing that wouldn't also rule out palms, baobabs, etc.
Some old botanists from the temperate zones had this weird notion that "real" trees must have certain type of cambium in their stem, but that's just because they never seen palm trees, pandanus trees, yucca trees, banana trees, bamboo, grass tree, and tree ferns. The truth is the tree structure has evolved independently multiple times and they don't always share the same developmental pathway and anatomical structure. Source: am biologist from the tropics.
The flaky sweater camera zoom got me.
These are related to sunflowers
I’m okay with knowing they are there, lol. I think they are beautiful!
Heyyyyy!! Why did Tasha not get to go on location for this one?? ☹️ Would've been awe-inspiring to see these for real!! 😲
Then again, your studio location is pretty awe-inspiring, too! Healthy lil planties! 💚
Please talk about phantom orchids next! I have been begging you!
This would make a cool Pokemon
I’d love to see you cover the Devil’s Claw plant.🖤🇨🇦
Love your outtakes!
The twin peaks of Mt Kilimanjaro :P
Thank you for including both imperial and metric
ASTERACEAE STRIKES AGAIN
Therey're everywhere!
For a video about the "Giant Groundsel", you'd think that would be in the title or the description.
Lil Mamma is NUTS!! LOVE HER!!!!
id love a video about ribbon seals or any true seals :)
Just like the frailejon in Colombia!
Do a popular house plants episode!!
Beware of the Night Bud! That sounds like a plant that Snoop Dogg created.
plants are amazing!
I blame you for this! our scales would be like 6"-8" thick of dead cells!
I think one of my favorite "plants that should not be trees" has got to be Myrrhidendron donnelsmithii. The common name says it all really, Mexican carrot tree. *MEXICAN CARROT TREE.* It just sounds like a bad joke. Yes, its in the carrot family Apiaceae, same subfamily as carrots themselves actually, and boy does it look the part (except for ya know being a 20 foot tall tree).
I would love a video about the speletia family in south america, they look pretty much the same to this ones but arent that related
Sometimes it feels like the world is spontaneously generating new and strange lifeforms just to taunt me
which is pretty cool
"Zone of putrefaction" is a great name for a black metal band
Fascinating
Interesting episode 👍
the outtakes are funny
Is it okay if I feel these scientists are hotter than normal folk? Because I really feel they are people I wish I knew personally.
Edit: I would have WAY MORE FRIENDS than I do now if we normalized nerds.
Wow that was interesting. Do the franklinia tree please too!
i thought this was going to be about a guy in a tree costume climbing kilimanjaro
While I love the botany information, I always look forward to the bloopers at the end the most!!
Have you considered making a video about ginkgo biloba? It could be really interesting
do puya raimondii! they're pretty cool
It's not botany that argued about species numbers classes orders etc. it's taxonomy
Please tell me about prehistoric horses
I wanna know how we got to where we are with the modern horse
4:17 I don't need to imagine, because there is a thing called "fur"
Cool episode!!
I wonder , do the stalks look like wood when cut? Can people build a little hut out of them?
Can we have a video for Musa ingens, the largest banana in the world, please?
The Giant groundmumblemumble
Great shirt
Mosquito pollinated orchids!!
Great!!
Neat! I've seen photos, but didn't know anything about them.
What are they called tho? I can't tell from listening & you didn't write the name in the video-title or in the video -- Giant ground soil? ground soul? grounsol? gransole?
Giant groundsels!
All deciduous trees are flowering plants.
Palm trees aren't trees either, they are woody herbs.
Huh, they look a lot like Giant Yucca Trees.
Looks like spongebob's house taking a dump.
You didn't show or describe the flowers of this plant.
Why is that so?
Asteraceae is very interesting there are so many of them. truly Crime pays but botany doesn't
this tree high AF...
0:03 ... Palm trees don't only live near oceans???
What is the known overall hardiness of this plant? I would love to start one in my greenhouse
What prevents this from being a tree in your opinion?
1:42 ... most trees are flowering plants ... !?
You should make a close caption transcript
