Campos Rupestres Habitat in Brazil

In this episode we head back to the Sierra do Cipo in Minas Gerais, Brazil to check out such weird plants as :
Lycnophora staavioides
Veyretia sincorensis
Fritzschia sertularia
Leiothrix curvifolia plantago
Cattleya rupestris
Proteopsis argentea
Vellozia variabilis,
Paepalanthus microphyllus
Actinocephalus bongardii
Klotzschia rhizophylla

At a time when so much is disappearing beneath the human footprint, CPBBD is willing to do whatever it takes to document these plant species and the ecological communities they are a part of before they're gone for good.

As a brazilian botanist I am SO thankful for your videos, great job you're doing bringing awareness on native plants, most (urban) brazilians really can't tell a tomato from an onion.

[@troygoss6400]

What a stunning bio region. Much gratitude for transporting us to another world.

[@katiekane5247]

No doubt! I can botanize vicariously through Joey!

[@suneeln546]

Hello from India . I came across your channel couple months ago and I have never been more hooked to a single channel like this before. I am not a Botanist, but have been an avid gardening and plants in general enthusiast since I was 8yo. I realized I am watching 4 hours a day 😂. I would love to see you tour India's Western ghats, particularly in Karnataka and Kerala. It is half tropical evergreen and the rain shadow area away from the coast. Hope you make it here some day. I ways used to observe roadside plants, but ha e a fresh way of looking at them. Please don't stop doing.

[@irishswtpea]

I’m a soil chemist that works in forestry and love this channel sm. ❤❤❤ Thanks for showing us so many cool things.

[@laserflexr6321]

You see plants hanging on in such hostile conditions, like that cactus that has been completely separated from it's roots, still finding some way to keep going, producing a flower in spite of all the insult. Some things REALLY want to live and will not accept NO as an answer.

[@ecomandurban7183]

Tony you must go back there during the wet season.

[@danielgoetze]

Have you been to any "Restinga" while you were here? Like the ones on "Parque Paulo Cesar VInhas" on Espirito Santo State, small "islands" of vegetation, created by a few pionner trees, surrounded by recently stabilized sand dunes. It´s a incredible ecosystem, mixed with a few lagoons and bogs where the dunes were a little lower.

[@andrelevesque2405]

Sir, you had me riveted to your every word for all 40 minutes. You are hilariously informative and knowledgeable. What a treat it would be going on a field trip with you. Keep these postings coming.

[@TheRichmaldon1]

Happy to see Tony overwhelmed by the biodiversity

[@s.k.3891]

The orchids on rocks were previously classified as rupiculous Laelias, but now they are all Cattleyas.

[@s.k.3891]

If you are on Mt.Sincoran, they may be C.sincorana.

[@katiekane5247]

Incredible diversity in such difficult habitat, thanks for taking us along.

[@LukeMcGuireoides]

Wow. Wall to wall bangers. What an environment. Thanks so much for what you do

[@SoNoFTheMoSt]

This is just as awesome as new caledonia!

[@Zarevock666]

Hey!! Welcome to our state here in Brazil! Glad to see you enjoying the nature! Make sure to visit Mercado Central in Belo Horizonte and Inhotim natural museum!

[@joemug4079]

Love! All these plants!

[@Skochel]

as an older brother, it’s important that we take quick breaks to roast the people we love 😆

[@mgagliardi2011]

Great video. All new plants to me too. Amazing looking ones. Love this rocky environment also. Thanks a lot 🌵🌴🌻🪻🌾

[@Silligoose501]

Dang!! So interesting and different. Mind blown.

[@orquideadafloresta]

Thank you to share our Brazilian endemic flora for the world!

[@dynastesgigas6996]

"We've been tru dis before..." made me laugh pretty hard. Maybe you should make a t-shirt with that quote on it, and then three small line drawings of woody plants that look really similar due to convergence (i.e., same family) but are unrelated.

[@yoyoyohihihidude]

Damn there was a lot in this

[@timjozwiak2293]

So cool. Anothet side to Brazil. Such awesome plants. All the adaptations.

[@anschn7166]

Holy hell, what an amazing habitat with so many amazing plants. Makes me want to go to Brazil asap.

[@MizMissiB]

Now y’all got me excited!!!

Hola hola desde Colombia estoy viendo los vídeos de las plantas en su habitad natural estoy fascinada por qué son muy hermosos muchísimas gracias aunque no entiendo el idioma.me gusta mucho.

[@douglasrodrigues1322]

Os brasileiros tem que aprender a fazer vídeos assim👏👏👏

[@lucyb15]

wow! I'm blown away.

[@m34nb34n]

Thank gawd for this channel. Now I have something interesting to do on my lunch break rather than engage in the drama of 20somethings bullsh1t lives lol

[@nottherealrabbit]

Hanging with the young folk and razzin em😂 god love ya Joe

[@Clam176]

I've been on the edge of my seat waiting for more videos from Brazil. I'd love to visit the Campos rupestres someday!

[@saraseifert6005]

Watching these makes my heart ache for some reason.

[@0pct-Zscrop2-bcue7im9a.4space]

Adoro seu canal, por favor faça um vídeo sobre a Caatinga no sertão se tiver oportunidade. Obrigado Tony!!

[@rs5536]

Mostbeautifulwhattheshitaceae is what I’m naming a genus if I ever discover one myself

[@robynmonet1231]

I am going to school for environmental science and horticulture soon. The genus and family names are so hard to remember. How do you remember so much?

[@philsphan6865]

Thanks for all you do! Sedges have edges!!!!!!!!!

[@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt]

Not in the Southern hemisphere they don't

[@philsphan6865]

@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt interesting! I did not know that!! Thank you!

[@moefuggerr2970]

Hairy plants.

[@iansprague4303]

Such a crazy habitat. Maybe one of my favorite ones you've shown us.

[@EhrenmannHenno7469]

Very interesting habitat, thanks for the video.

[@juliap1965]

Wonderful. Absolutely gorgeous.

[@debg7710]

"Horny for Vellosia" Make a great bumper sticker!

[@janinesnyder8250]

I wonder if you’d like the Canadian alpine flowers in the Rocky mountains in the spring. We have lichen too.

[@uhitsethan]

i love this f&^*ing channel

[@garyjenson1326]

Thanks man. Thanks for showing these strange plants. I'll never walk past these "barren" places again.

[@infowarriorone]

Waxy leaves nice. It seems that more extreme habitats (xeric, litho) result in more convergent evolution, but I may be completely wrong about that.

[@anaritamartinho1340]

🤯...Vellozia...🤯 Eriocaulacea...

[@katiekane5247]

Google offers a translation lol

[@TrevKen]

I'm likin' that lichen

[@yfrontsguy]

Almost like botanizing on another planet ! Totally fab !!

[@larissanamiki6539]

I would be interested if you still have the link for the book! Also thank you for your videos, they have been really interesting to watch :)

[@tiptop_flipflop]

'Endless forms most beautiful and what the shit' would make a great T shirt

[@rohanplantboyjames6812]

After watching your Australia videos I wished you had jumped the ditch and came to NZ too. One day I hope to see a video on NZ podocarp rain forests. I totally nerd out watchig these videos!

[@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt]

I did about 8 of them back in June.

[@BearMeat4Dinner]

Walio!!! You n me gotta go to a Cubs game one time this next season!!! Great video as always!!

Dude, nice one on quoting that last paragraph of Darwin's origin of the species. So fitting.

[@AnonyMole]

Be cool to see what flowers fluoresce under a UV light.

[@miguelcoffee8371]

gas break dip!! you killing me smalls

[@residentenigma7141]

The black sheep of the sunflower family.

[@myrmepropagandist]

I'm going to wonder about the ants in that one flower for the rest of my damn life. They looked small and ... dusty gray? are you certain they were ants?

[@krissteel4074]

I think if you were planning on becoming a botanist, young and didn't mind some tough living. Going to Brazil (or South America in general) is a place you could probably make a name for yourself because there's massive amounts of stuff no one really knows much about, most of it has a name and maybe some theory about what its doing out there, but its pretty shallow on detailed research. Happy 2024

[@belalugrisi1614]

Arborescent pseudostems Nice!

[@joefization]

That's some dope shit Joey

[@z99ywiec]

have you ever tasted orchid sugar?

[@myrmepropagandist]

We even got some weevil action.

OMG the biodiversity at this site is off the charts. Someone call Bubba and tell him to get his bulldozer. We got Walmarts to build.

Drop the link to the melastome book bestie ❤

You should make a guide..

Nooooooo! Don’t getchiggered

[@janinesnyder8250]

😂I don’t think you get your brain damaged blowing it on being excited about sedges. I think it’s safe to freak right out

[@lrla8657]

Do you have any books you recommend for botany? I post a picture of a plant on Facebook and get 25 different names. I’d like to know the scientific names! Not ‘Marges Tits’ or ‘Johnnys Ass Crack Variegated’!

[@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt]

Start by learning families with Botany in a day

[@lrla8657]

@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt thanks! I’ll do that!

[@jafinch78]

I'm dumb about this stuff. Though man sir, you get down to Central or South America or wherever the fuck this I thought was a flock of birds grows, get us a narrative and preview of the Calceolaria uniflora. That's some strange different looking mutha fukwha.
