The Weirdest Fern in Northern California

Рет қаралды 47,926

Күн бұрын

On a landscape of young volcanic rocks, we meet a plant that "eats" #mycorrhizal fungi and a rare and tiny fern that can be found in isolated populations in mountains as far away as Iran, #Asplenium septentrionale.
We get a crash course primer on volcanic rock types as well as a quick intro to the "poricidal anthers" of the blueberry family, Ericaceae.
Species featured in this video :
Eriodictyon lobbii
Iliamna bakeri
Heterotheca sessiliflora
#Asplenium septentrionale
#Sarcodes sanguinea
#Chimaphila umbellata

I'll never ever get tired of monkeyflowers. I've gotten into growing them, and now I have Erythranthe guttata, Erythranthe moschtata, Erythranthe cardinalis, and possibly Erythranthe microphylla. They are all very easy to grow from stem cuttings; my E. moschata is from an individual that was badly trampled by a hiker, and every piece of stem that I have kept wet/moist sprouted new apical meristems with roots. Another thing that's really cool about Erythranthe is that many members of the genus are considered proto-carnivorous. E. moschata is extremely glandular, and my E. microphylla and E. guttata have both made highly glandular leaves with gooey mucilage. I don't think they can digest insects that get stuck in it, but they do trap and kill insects.

When I lived in Gallup NM I met some Native American Medicine Men that sold their meds at the local flea market. They would keep their meds in a small wooden box called a Peyote Box. I actually made a bunch of the medicine boxes that I sold to the medicine men. The Navahos would always carry peyote with them to keep them safe.

A wasted youth but a hell of a lot of fun. At least I grew up with enough sense to figure out what the fuck was important. Mimulus is always cool looking, found a bunch of Clitoria growing here in Georgia this week. Long live the beautiful, purple pussy flower!

Ferns are the coolest, they are able to get to some pretty wild places too because of the spores. A lot of the bridges and tall buildings in the pacific Northwest get thick moss build up and some Polypodium glycyrrhiza that grow up in the moss blankets, other plants cant get their seeds in these spots and other ferns cant tolerate the dry environment over the summer. Polypodium glycyrrhiza can be surprisingly drought resistant for a fern that isnt really evolved for arid areas, they just can tolerate it when the moss dries out for a couple months in the summer.

Yeah that Asplenium is certainly very strange indeed! I wonder if it's distribution is explained not so much as traveling from one place to another, but since it's morphology is so basic perhaps it is a primordial fern that was present on Gondwalla or Pangea and the continental drift separated the individual members!!! I know morphology doesn't always indicate where on the timescale different species emerge, the basic simple form leads me to think it may well be one of the original members of the fern tribe... I could be mistaken, but I thought Penstemon used to be included in the Scrophulaceae! Is my memory deceiving me or has this one also been changed? Anyway Newberryi is a stunner and great garden plant!!! Thanks!

Thank you for covering weird stuff. Speaking of weird...there's some unusual geological formations on Mt. Rubidoux in Riverside, CA. As you're going up the trial on the right, there's a natural wall composed of some kind of grid filled with a white friable rock. I cannot find anything about it on the net or the University's geology department papers...but you're probably not interested in such a "civilized" park. The "trail" is paved and an easy walk even though you're in elevation so fat ole ladies like me can appreciate an early morning sunrise. Did that a couple times when I visited and recommend just before sunrise. Nice. Oh also, at the top, near the horrendous crucifix on a boulder is a huge impression of the same iron oxide-like material that seems to resemble a humanoid figure. Anybody else seen this?
