Graced by the song of the giant cicada, we scope out a canyon at 4,000' elevation to check on some cool cacti. Along the way we pass by the edible Spondias purpurea (Anacardiaceae ) and Vallesia glabra (Apocynaceae). At the canyon slopes we see Lophophora diffusa (non-psychoactive peyote), the incredible Strombocactus disciformis, Mammillaria parkinsoniana, Coryphantha erecta, and Agave xylonacantha.
Pseudosmodingium virletii makes an appearance, as well, which produces the human skin allergen Urushiol in its tissue just like poison oak.
A small shrubby member of the subfamily mimimosoideae (Fabaceae) in this episode was incorrectly identified as Pithecellobium dulce. while Pithecellobium dulce was indeed featured in this video, the shrubby, flower-less and fruit-less legume in question was Senegalia reniformis, a little-known species that looks nothing like other species in its genus. This was really exciting to realize!
Some of the species featured:
Lophophora diffusa (Cactaceae)
Morkillia mexicana (Zygophyllaceae)
Echinocereus pentalophus
Vallesia glabra (Apocynaceae)
Spondias purpurea (Anacardiaceae)
Your contributions support this content. It sounds cliché but it's true. Whether it's travel expenses, vehicle repair, or medical costs for urushiol poisoning (or rockfalls, beestings, hand slices, toxic sap, etc), your financial support allows this content to continue so the beauty of Earth's flora can be made accessible to the public. 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.
