How Do We Categorize Plants?: Crash Course Botany #7

The answer to the extra credit question is… a pea plant! What type of scientific discovery would you want to be named after you?

To think such valuable information is seen by so few people. I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn. Thank you.

One of the best crash course series yet!

This series and the host are both amazing.

Thanks!

Please make a crash course Botany poster. I love Botany so much

This show makes plants super interesting to me, which is the most important part of being an educator-
Thank you!!

I love how she explains it. It makes learning fun❤❤

The 'they don't always fit into our human-made boxes' comment reminded me of a scene from Wall-E, which I recently re-watched, where Wall-E has picked up a plastic spork and is trying to figure out whether to put it in a container with plastic forks or plastic spoons. He ends up putting it down between the two boxes. That's the London plane tree, right there.

The classification of plants is not rigid and universally agreed upon

Lmao ...Did anyone else get an ad for a green plushy duck below this vid?

You are such a nice lady

Informative as always.

Another great video! I’m really happy she got this spot on crash course.

Im a huge fan of black forager and Alexis!

Now that being said! When are we going to get the zoologist crash course with Lindsey! 😍 these two would be my favorite crash courses hostesses of all time

don't mind me just gonna play this video for my unsprouted seeds to encourage them to sprout

Guys anyone else now desperately want leafy lovables to be real

I'd love to be in her class

Omg do they still make butterfly clips?? I was all about those when I was 13 in 1999! <333333

I love (and start following) Alexis for her vibrant personality and I wasn’t interested at all about plants.. but she convert me! Great to see her at Crashcourse ❤🎉

We want an episode about sargassum muticum and invasive algae

Thank you

Excellent presenter

I first saw her in Tiktok! She taught me a lot about mushrooms and foraging. I’ve tried some of them and they actually taste pretty good.

Absolutely loving this series!!❤❤

great teachin mr noodle

MY GOD I LOVE the enthusiasm

Oh my goodness I think I just squeaked myself.

Alexis Nelson is on Crash Course.

I’m not crying.. well.. yes. Actually I am. Love you so much, Queen!!

🙏🏼 🍄 🥰

Shhhhhhh

The chom choms you bought at the corner store, you mean?

Congratulations, you have awakened in me a need for real Leafy Loveables. I need a Molly Moss!

Those collectible plant plushies should be merch. :3

Dude! Thank you! I've been looking at it and saying that, if you go far enough back, we're all just cousins ever since my first budding frustration at my mother's overly complicated classification of how people were related to me at weddings, funerals and reunions. Well, my classification was that if you look old enough, you're a grand parent. If you're my parents age, uncle or aunt. My age, cousin. Anyway... glad to hear someone else seeing it that way as well. My brain went all Leo Pointing meme...

Your butterflies are pretty. They bobble and flap like real ones. Very nice.

Science would be so much easier if we would listen to the people who lived around the things we're trying to classify.

I gotta get myself a molly moss tho

Love how your hair clips flap like butterflies!

Thank you, Alexis!

Hey, I don't know if the people handling the channel are gonna read this, but in the crash course botany playlist, the #4 and #5 are inverted, and we're missing the #6 !

I am still so genuinely pleased to see you hosting this!

I’m just here to hype up a fellow Alexis Environmental Educator

I thought this was a Shakespeare video

I absolutely ADORE this series! I recently started a small plant are business and am always looking to increase my knowledge around all things botanical! Thank you!

thanks for video Alexsis Appreciate you so much Keep doing such amazing videos

First comment

I’m here for my ‘mimosa’…🌴

I lived in San Blas, Nayarit in Mexico for a while and there are all sorts of mimosa there. They're some of my favorite plants. They even can learn when to close because of a dangerous stimuli vs. Not closing for a NOT dangerous one. They're fascinating!
