As cool as a scientific discovery would be, I'd rather have my name credited under as one of the leaders of an environmental movement to eradicate European Honey Bees from North America! They're so devastating to our ecosystem, who knows how much of North America's biodiversity has been lost to these pests!!
I’m not a botanist and don’t know the actual names of most of the plants around my area, but I’ve found it useful when pulling weeds from the yard to call them by their characteristics - creeping sticky vine, prickly seeds, thorny vine, smelly root, etc. That’s more practical for my own use; if I were to hire a professional groundskeeper, then it might help to know their scientific names to communicate which plants I mean. Off-topic, I like how your butterfly hairpin flutters its wings when you move. :)
I absolutely ADORE this series! I recently started a small plant are business and am always looking to increase my knowledge around all things botanical! Thank you!
I love your passion for botany! You're definitely making me wonder more about plants. It's interesting that they used latin for naming and not english or something.
12:49 _Mimosa_ _mexiae_ is a species of legume from the Fabaceae family (Kingdom: Plantae, Phylum: Magnoliophyta, Class: Magnoliopsida, Order: Fabales, Family: Fabaceae, Subfamily: Mimosoideae, Tribe: Mimoseae, Genus: Mimosa, Species: _M._ _mexiae_ ). But considering the "bathroom break" hint at the end, the intended answer was probably "bathroom plant".
The 'they don't always fit into our human-made boxes' comment reminded me of a scene from Wall-E, which I recently re-watched, where Wall-E has picked up a plastic spork and is trying to figure out whether to put it in a container with plastic forks or plastic spoons. He ends up putting it down between the two boxes. That's the London plane tree, right there.
I lived in San Blas, Nayarit in Mexico for a while and there are all sorts of mimosa there. They're some of my favorite plants. They even can learn when to close because of a dangerous stimuli vs. Not closing for a NOT dangerous one. They're fascinating!
Oh my goodness I think I just squeaked myself. Alexis Nelson is on Crash Course. I’m not crying.. well.. yes. Actually I am. Love you so much, Queen!! 🙏🏼 🍄 🥰
Another great video! I’m really happy she got this spot on crash course. Im a huge fan of black forager and Alexis! Now that being said! When are we going to get the zoologist crash course with Lindsey! 😍 these two would be my favorite crash courses hostesses of all time
Dude! Thank you! I've been looking at it and saying that, if you go far enough back, we're all just cousins ever since my first budding frustration at my mother's overly complicated classification of how people were related to me at weddings, funerals and reunions. Well, my classification was that if you look old enough, you're a grand parent. If you're my parents age, uncle or aunt. My age, cousin. Anyway... glad to hear someone else seeing it that way as well. My brain went all Leo Pointing meme...
i don t know if you ve always worked with crash course but i remember seeing you on the internet doing mushroom videos if u didnt and just started now good job you're bubbly enough to keep me curious
I love (and start following) Alexis for her vibrant personality and I wasn’t interested at all about plants.. but she convert me! Great to see her at Crashcourse ❤🎉
Hey, I don't know if the people handling the channel are gonna read this, but in the crash course botany playlist, the #4 and #5 are inverted, and we're missing the #6 !
The answer to the question is It is Species of legume (FABACEAE) family. Yeah the botanical collector was Ynes Mexia but this was actually Named by J.N Rose.
in English it's a sensitive plant. is the answer angiosperm? It's a pretty plant with interesting leaves, flowers AND berries 😮 Plants are so cool, I like tending to my various succulents and my Jackaranda ❤️ it's a fun hobby when weather permits.
Alexis is so enthusiastic that it is contagious. I would like to know about the moth like barrettes in her hair. I think I would like to get some for my Goddaughter.
The species concept is both very useful and arbitrary, fuzzy and debatable; I think you show all that perfectly (in so few minutes). However, you made a bit more confusing by using "species" to explain problems with each definition. E.g., (9:58) when showing the limitations of the "biological" concept you say "some organisms produce offspring with OTHER species (so that breaks the concept)", which does not make sense: by that definition those organisms are within THE SAME species! (and also the derived interfertile offspring, called here "hybrid species").
The answer to the extra credit question is… a pea plant! What type of scientific discovery would you want to be named after you?
I'd like to have a plant that can absorb all harmful pollutants named after me, cause my exes where so toxic, and I survived and thrived anyways.

I think this is how the plants got their "official" names as well
the way the butterflies flutter when you're really getting into what you're saying is literally so wonderful i love being alive

🙏🏼 🍄 🥰
This is the best host and video topic match ever. They look like a Sim I would create to make a plant lover. I love the butterfly clips.
I'm teaching my kids botany this year in homeschool and I am so excited about this new addition to crash course! Thank you for these videos!!!!!
Please make a crash course Botany poster. I love Botany so much
Another great video! I’m really happy she got this spot on crash course.
Im a huge fan of black forager and Alexis!

I love this. I already know most of this, (even the bit about the sycamore trees), but your energy is so wonderful & fun.
Is there a crash course on mushrooms? If not, there needs to be.
Those collectible plant plushies should be merch. :3
Congratulations Alexis! I love your Blackforgager vidoes! I'm excited to watch your new content!
Mimosa I think are those plants with little leaves that react to touch.
Still absolutely love this for Alexis
i don t know if you ve always worked with crash course but i remember seeing you on the internet doing mushroom videos if u didnt and just started now good job you're bubbly enough to keep me curious
I am still so genuinely pleased to see you hosting this!
Congratulations, you have awakened in me a need for real Leafy Loveables. I need a Molly Moss!
This series and the host are both amazing.
To think such valuable information is seen by so few people. I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm!
MY GOD I LOVE the enthusiasm
Your butterflies are pretty. They bobble and flap like real ones. Very nice.
This show makes plants super interesting to me, which is the most important part of being an educator-
Thank you!!
Crash course should consider doing an episode about invasive honey bees and their devastating effects on north America's ecosystems!
I love (and start following) Alexis for her vibrant personality and I wasn’t interested at all about plants.. but she convert me! Great to see her at Crashcourse ❤🎉
I first saw her in Tiktok! She taught me a lot about mushrooms and foraging. I’ve tried some of them and they actually taste pretty good.
Late night crash course woohoo
oh we strong with this notification squad, can’t miss this 🤩
One of the best crash course series yet!
thanks for video Alexsis Appreciate you so much Keep doing such amazing videos
don't mind me just gonna play this video for my unsprouted seeds to encourage them to sprout
Love how your hair clips flap like butterflies!
I love how she explains it. It makes learning fun❤❤
Best Chanel ever. I love plants and I am going to study botany, so this is super inspirational.
Thank you!!
We want an episode about sargassum muticum and invasive algae
I’m just here to hype up a fellow Alexis Environmental Educator
Thank you, Alexis!
Mimosa sounds like a flower plant with little spray things, like deeli-boppers.
She gives me Julia Childs energy! 💕
Informative as always.
An a.m. accident? I'll submit to biology education any hour of the day!
Absolutely loving this series!!❤❤
The Bellis perennis picture shows a different species.
Is Mimosa mexiae a species of sensitive plant?
Yay blackforager squad!
this is so cool! also i love ur butterfly clips ❤
Does RUclips hate this channel because I never get notifications nor do videos show up in my feed
Love this series!
Thank you!
amazing episode🤩
Hey, I don't know if the people handling the channel are gonna read this, but in the crash course botany playlist, the #4 and #5 are inverted, and we're missing the #6 !
fixed! thanks for the heads up :)
@@crashcourse thank youuuu
great teachin mr noodle
Thank you
Love your enthusiasm and energy in explaining, keep going
Excellent presenter
I'd love to be in her class
Thanks!
The classification of plants is not rigid and universally agreed upon
Mimosa mexiae is a type of legume such as beans
Thanks
OMG MY FAV TIKTOKER IS ON MY FAV RUclips CHANNEL OMFG ITS GONNA BE A GOOD DAY
Mimosa Mexiae is a type of sensitive plant.
Interesting🎉
Can you eat Mimosa mexiae. It's a legume, right? Or in the legume family. The flower is beautiful!
The answer to the question is
It is Species of legume (FABACEAE) family. Yeah the botanical collector was Ynes Mexia but this was actually Named by J.N Rose.
Omg do they still make butterfly clips?? I was all about those when I was 13 in 1999!
Omg is that @blackforager???? Yaaaassssss
The chom choms you bought at the corner store, you mean?
in English it's a sensitive plant.
is the answer angiosperm?
It's a pretty plant with interesting leaves, flowers AND berries 😮
Plants are so cool, I like tending to my various succulents and my Jackaranda ❤️
it's a fun hobby when weather permits.
Oh I love her.
I’m here for my ‘mimosa’…🌴
I gotta get myself a molly moss tho
Alexis is so enthusiastic that it is contagious. I would like to know about the moth like barrettes in her hair. I think I would like to get some for my Goddaughter.
YES ALEXISSSS
12:05 I tried this definition of "species" on an AP Bio exam question and did not earn the point.
The species concept is both very useful and arbitrary, fuzzy and debatable; I think you show all that perfectly (in so few minutes).
However, you made a bit more confusing by using "species" to explain problems with each definition. E.g., (9:58) when showing the limitations of the "biological" concept you say "some organisms produce offspring with OTHER species (so that breaks the concept)", which does not make sense: by that definition those organisms are within THE SAME species! (and also the derived interfertile offspring, called here "hybrid species").
Great video but please try decaf lol
Nice
Isnt taxonomy how we categorize life in general?
she ate that up
Lmao ...Did anyone else get an ad for a green plushy duck below this vid?
It's a legume! Beanie baby! (:
Lol, I thought those similar smelly but yummy fruits were actually the same :D
Edit: Oh, this is my first time seeing an empty comment section
It’s a legume 🎉
0:35 Philosophers beware…
LETS GOOOO
Science would be so much easier if we would listen to the people who lived around the things we're trying to classify.
What's the answer?
I thought this was a Shakespeare video
Guys anyone else now desperately want leafy lovables to be real
It's a legume
Sure, I’ll watch a plant video before I hit the hay.
