      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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

      @johnsober 10 месяцев назад +1

      ​@@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

    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.

      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.

    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.
