Kick Me in the Rosulate Violets - High Alpine convergence on a form

Описание: Touch My Rosulate Violet : High Alpine Convergence on a Form

In this video, originally filmed in January 2025 in Talca Province, Chile, we ascend to 2500 meters and see multiple different plant families with species all converging on the fuzzy, "rosulate" (rosette-leaved) form, a result of the high, dry, windy environment. We even see a cool high-andean cicada.
