  • Join In Defense of Plants as we go behind the scenes of the Missouri Botanical Garden (www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/) to take a closer look at one of the largest living collections of aroids on the planet. We were fortunate enough to sit down for a chat with two aroid fanatics - horticulturist Emily Colletti and botanist Dr. Tom Croat - to gain insights into what makes the aroid family (Araceae) so special. Throughout our chat, we get the chance to meet some members of this incredible living collection and learn the value such collections have for science, horticulture, and conservation.

    This is my favorite plant family.
    So ubiquitous and common that it’s often unseen, yet colocasia, alocasia, amorphs, and many others are so charismatic and fascinating!

    Philodendron williamsii and all the other arborescent Meconostigma aroids are actually now in genus Thaumatophyllum. So it's T. williamsii, which btw was quite rare and sought after at one point.

    Some Adansonii where the mother plant is about 18 meters high and has huge, mature leaves and a stem of a cane begonia.
    Hope they root and survive 🙏🏻😰

    Looking good, will use this for my taxonomy course. Two points though - you didn't mention that Aroids are monocots and they are one of the exceptions to the parallel venation pattern for most monocots. Also, Amorphophallus means misshapen penis. I know it makes people giggle, but it makes them remember the plants better. ;) Sad towards the end that so many species are being lost. Human greed knows no bounds. Will you be back once the Titan Arum starts blooming again at MoBot? :)

    • @swayback7375
      @swayback7375 3 года назад

      Great reasons to love them!
      Guttation is my FAVORITE!
      During the growing season at night many of the fast growing around like colocasia, alocasia and amorphophallus will drop from the leaf top.
      Sometimes they will literally spit the tiny droplets out several inches AND very rapidly, like 5x a second or faster at times.
      If you check the leaves at night the leaf tip is almost always wet on the tip.
      GUTTATION!

    Man I did not expect these two experts featured throughout to be THE MOST INTERESTING PEOPLE EVER. I’d say these guys now top my “if you could have lunch with anyone, alive or dead” list, along with Jay-Z, Carl Sagan and Joseph Campbell. Ideally we’d all have lunch together. I’d happily move back to Missouri for standing weekly lunch plans with these two! Those would be the best lunches.
    Ok maybe I’m hungry rn.

      The one we buy from nurseries are from tissue culture that came from 1 plant remove from the rain forest . So its a clone of 1st and the produce from seeds and human hybridization. Conservationists need to go and search our rainforest to research, documents and introduce to the natives and the world so it can be protected. We loose all these plants when we human comes in and start taking space for agriculture and farming .

      @@EliezaBaby Yes, it’s good to preserve it in anyway, but single colognes aren’t really all that effective. So many of the exotic plants we are growing are the single horticultural selection. And in the end, what good does it do to keep a single one when we have destroyed the one place on earth that it grows? It’s an interesting museum piece and possibly useful, but cannot compare withI’ll be all natural population.
