- A non-broadcast documentary (made just for fun) filmed during a 2011 expedition led by Stewart McPherson in search of new species of carnivorous pitcher plants (Nepenthes).
This 25 minute documentary follows on from “The Discovery of Nepenthes leonardoi” film. We follow Stewart McPherson’s continuing search for new species of carnivorous plants. Stewart explores two remote peaks in the Philippines, Mount Anipahan on Palawan, and Mount Kiamo on Mindanao. On Mount Anipahan, a possible new species of pitcher plant (Nepenthes) is discovered, while on Mount Kiamo, two spectacular new species are revealed (later named N. ceciliae and N. pulchra).
A full account of the discovery of Nepenthes ceciliae and N. pulchra, and the descriptions of these plants as new species, as well as many other spectacular new Nepenthes species is provided in Redfern’s recently published book title New Nepenthes Volume 1.
Filmed by Andy Smith.
I cannot wait for more Stewart McPherson documentaries!!! They’re so intriguing and pull the viewer into a trance!
all these pitcher plant videos have now got me addicted... i think because there's such a structure of mission for finding the plant it creates a great narrative. There's lots to tell with all the locals and the different plants, how hard it is to get through the jungle. And an epic job has been done editing and narrating this, it could be professional.... sometimes you can find stuff better than tv/cable on youtube, amazing!
These videos are amazing.... you're like the Indiana Jones of the plant world :)
I’ve been sick for weeks and this channel keeps my mind busy and distracted:) thank you
These documentaries are the best, informative and interesting adventure without the MTV style flash or childish opinions that are prevalent in way too many modern documentaries..
Your videos are some of the best in all RUclips imho
What a great expedition. Thank you so much for this video . Please more documentaries / adventures to come 🙏 💕 Addicted to your channel now. My 11 yo son introduced me to your channel😊
wonderfully told! i love this enthusiastic botanist and his discoveries. greeting helge from germany
Your phenomenal Stewart... Good stuff keep going!
thats the real beauty of our country
Really enjoying these videos! Thanks for sharing.
Very nice, informative and interesting plants
Totally love these videos. Thanks kindly.
Wow, to be an explorer who documents new species! That sounds like the most extreme and adventurous of all. Love it
such a great adventurous discovery of nepenthes on the Misty mountain.....
My box turtles were licking their lips at that millipede(grub) snack crunch. Love your sharing this! So cool..
Fascinating thank you so much loving each documentary such beauty and praying man never destroy it ..
wonderful
I like these documents so much!!!
I like it because I like nepenthes:) and I wish to be a botanist like Stewart.
Great video
thank you so much
I'm from Bukidnon. And Ive been climbing peaks around Bukidnon, Mindanao like Mt. Kitanglad and Mt. Sumagaya and have really observed and seen Nepenthes plants around the trail. And I was really thinking that some of our floras around these mountains have never been properly documented. This is really amazing work.
Kaya nga tapos nakikita dito sa Video nasisira na yung kagubatan. Nakakahiya yan. Mga pilipino ang sumisira 🙄🙄🙄
Hindi pa neexplore nasisira na yung kagubatan sa Mindanao. Napaka iresponsable ng mga tao dyan!🙄🙄😤 lahat ng Nepenthes documentary na napanood ko dito, Mindanao lang yung nakitaan ko dito ng sinisira yung kagubatan.
stewart please keep doing nepenthes videos!
Mày thấy có giống Tao đùa ko ?

What you eat??? cool places 👍👍👍

tackle the mountain
with over sized load
WEARING FLIP-FLOPS!
We want to see more of Stewart. Are you listening BBC
I have to see Northiana in the wild.
Had you ever been to Mt. Mayon Volcano in Albay, Bicol Region, many unknown species of Nepenthes are waiting for your presence there.....
Do you have any photos
@@GlenMoss-ld7ek still going to discover new species........
that intro. i love this man, no homo. i wish i did what he did
Wonderful to see new species found live. I found this after watching the UK treasure islands vids. Mankind takes as much as he gives, and the path to enlightenment also brings with it the downfall of all that you were trying to preserve. So the poachers will follow the same tracks and it will become the latest tourist mecca. Of course if mankind left the place well alone, non of the wildlife would be in danger. But we cant get rid of the rats! Next time, use a helicopter.
I doubt it would become a real tourist attraction. Scrambling up those mountains looks too uncomfortable.
N. Merrilliana and N. Rajah are the largest of the Nepenthes species.
Chance Reed N. attenboroughii and N. palawanensis are even bigger!

Do you store seeds from all the species you discover? Moreover, do you sell them?
David Roberts I think no, If he collects he'll endanger the remaining plants from poachers and he knows that.
@@jewiesnew3786 well I guess he could at least take samples for genetic analysis
@LagiNaLangAko23 What you are suggesting is already in practice, I think they call it CITES or something. But it wasn't perfect, usually plants collected and sold are priced higher because the profit is used to protect those species. But a poacher can simply collect those wild plants(or animals) and sell them for a cheaper price. So they're still in danger.
@LagiNaLangAko23 Unfortunately, poachers sell them to the black market, which is hidden to the authorities. There they make a lot of money to the highest bidders, then use the money to bribe officials and even do ''inside jobs'' and disguise themselves as protectors, where they have the opportunity to poach these poor things.
So beast; some ethnobotany sprinkled in there would be really nice

Have you already found the spaghetti nocturnem?
I somehow started to watch one of your videos.. and now watched like 10 videos of you haha.. and I am not even interested in biology or plants or what ever you are doing hahaha but ehm cool... I just "woke up" a bit.. like wtf there is this topic.. and people who really are into it and then very specific for just nepenthes.. like you are just living in your own universe! no one else cares about it in the mainstream (I mean there are some..) then I realised that I am doing the same... I am IT guy => Software engineer => Frontend developer => Javascript Dev => into specific frontend frameworks => Angular => Angular 2.0 with Typescript... and I am dayli fighting with others over which technolgy is now the best to chose to create a website haha.. who the F** cares? life is strange haha just enjoy it! and don't forget about family and friends. cheers!
God dam that's some extreme shit! i would need a dam whole bite proof body suit working the forest like that, this man thuggin in t-shirt and shorts!
climbing these mountains looks extremely uncomfortable. How does he cope with the humidity, steep terrain, spiny vegetation etc.? I am glad he is finally wearing gloves.
I was thinking the same thing! god dam thats some hard core shit
It's simple - Red Horse beer a lot of it
