    I learned a good amount about Cycads and conservation from this video. People just don't realize that when they deplete a plant population in the wild that they are destroying ecosystems. The idea of working with the locals and their needs in the effort to save plant habitats seems extremely valuable and necessary. Wonderful video!! 👍🏼

    Florida has a native cycad called Zamia integrifolia. They range from 2ft with extremely narrow leaflets to the 5ft Palatka giant. Florida has alot of native plants people wouldn't associate with Florida like a native tree fern, rhipsalis, peporomia, lantana, columbine and the ghost orchid. I love Summer's videos.

Thankfully there are botanic gardens and many responsible collectors-propagators who are working to preserve them.

    Such a beautiful collection, as someone studying for ichthyological taxonomy it is interesting to hear about the taxonomy. I have been to the Sloane Herbarium collection in the Natural History Museum, London and it is amazing. It is difficult where there is only one type specimen and no paratypes, many older papers describing species are horrifically vague like for fish they will list like it's spotted and that's the most you can get from the paper.
    I love cycads, I have two Cycas revoluta very hardy plants if given good care.

    Where I live in Florida there is a little known but very deep history of cycad cultivation stretching back upwards of ten thousand years. It is thought that the coontie palm (Zamia integrifolia) was initially brought to the peninsula by indigenous peoples from the Caribbean who harvested and processed the starchy roots of the plant as a primary source of carbohydrates. It’s crazy to think about how entire societies may have been structured around access to such a seemingly strange (and toxic!) plant. I am interested to learn more about how this hardy plant may serve humanity in the future with climate change wreaking havoc on so many food crops. Awesome video! I am in love with cycads and passionate about protecting them in the wild.

    You know that discussion of collectors harming conservation is why I started leaning away from some more rare things. When I first got into plants, it was into cactus, and going through some mamillaria species, and it was really disheartening to see how many were endangered. And to see that the reasons why, were primarily collectors.
    It made me want to be very cautious both about how rare I go into plants, and who I buy from.
    It also turned me on to African violets, bc the majority you'll ever see are just home made cultivars, and usually when you're talking rare here, you mean a weird, pretty, human made one from Russia.
    It's a little safer as far as conservation goes

  • @InsomniaticMeat
    @InsomniaticMeat 4 года назад +2

    This video was an absolute stunner! There's something I don't quite understand though. We've got the ability to hybridize these living fossils. With this in mind we have the means to safeguard them for future generations, yet apparently it's frowned upon? Isn't evolution affected by hybridizing in nature as well? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wild animals would surely pollinate plants without regard for their species and at the end of the day we're all animals too; a part of nature.
    Btw, the palm greenhouse at Hortus Botanicus Amsterdam is my favorite place in the Netherlands

    • @summerrayneoakes
      @summerrayneoakes  4 года назад +2

      Well there is a greater discussion to be had here, and that is... should the intrinsic nature of a species -that is a distinct organism as defined by its characteristics and genome - be conserved and continue to exist as a member of a larger biodiverse world? Or should any and all plants be hybridized, crossed with similar species and selected for certain traits? From a genetic perspective, what makes a species a species is its ability to sexually pollinate one another. Doing even intergeneric cross pollination (across genera)-say a Gasteria and Aloe -often results in sterility, and cannot produce viable pollen. Therefore you can only propagate asexually and then you begin to lose the genetic diversity within that population. There are of course natural hybrids, but that is often happening from very similar species within the same genus...

      Also (to add to what Summer has explained), there are actual several species of different genus of plants that have "specialized pollinators". This is the case of some orchid species, where a pollinator will only pollinate a particular specie and not any other, with some plants and/or pollinator morphologically evolving in order to achieve this. This "specialization" is sometimes the cause of the disappearance of certain species - if, for instance a plant specie is over collected to the brink of extinction, its "specialized" pollinator will likely follow the fate of the plant because is not able to adapt in a timely manner (and vice versa).

      @@summerrayneoakes Ah! There certainly is lots of potential for discussion with this! To narrow things down a little, I should've mentioned that I meant getting plants that are viable for reproduction in the future. Like if we could get that Encephalartos Woodii out into the world again... It would be utterly amazing.
      Once they succeed, over the years evolution will run its course and new pollinators will appear. Nature will adapt. We just need to give these rare plants that extra push to get a real shot at life again.
      Though to be frank, new pollinators don't even need to evolve per-say. Us humans have evolved intelligence, and the ability to use tools to be able to pollinate these plants and help them reproduce. We're in a position where we can profoundly and consciously appreciate these marvellous creations of life. Humans have destroyed so many things throughout history, why should we as a species reject the notion that we can save these cycads and help secure their future?
      (My apologies if this comment isn't fully coherent. I'm struggling a little to find the right pacing and the right words, while still making sense!)

    There is a interesting story about a Cycad that only one person have and he give a few pups away to friends. E.Relictus I think that is one of the 3 he doesn’t have. The person that have it is Mr. J.J.P Du Preez. Please do a story on that!

    Had a big nice one living in my house back in Senegal when I was growing up and that one was shooting pups all the time ..... good old time, As kids we use to sell the pups to a gardener for like a 1$ or so . Now thinking of it, he was ripping us off
