The rare magnolia plants were identified after a biologist in Mexico spotted them on the Arkive website in Bristol

Two new species of magnolia flower have been identified after being spotted on "Noah's Ark' online archive.

Photographs of the endangered Magnolia dealbata, held by Bristol-based Arkive, were seen by a botanist at a Mexican university more than 5,500 miles away.

The plants were tracked to Mexico's Serra Gorda Biosphere Reserve and identified.

Lucie Muir, chief executive of Arkive, said they were "thrilled" by the discovery.

'Highest honour'

After seeing pictures of the flowers, botanist Dr Jose Antonio Vazquez asked the original photographer for more images of the plant.


The plants are a 'thrilling' discovery, according to the director of the Arkive website

Photographer Roberto Pedraza Ruiz said he then made several more trips to the forest "documenting the flowers and fruits of the trees until finally receiving confirmation that I had photographed not only one but two completely new species of magnolias".

The first specimen was named Magnolia rzedowskiana, after emininet Mexican botanist, Dr Jerzy Rzedowski, while the second is to be named Magnolia pedrazae, in honour of its photographer.

Mr Ruiz said: "This is without doubt the highest honour that a conservationist and nature photographer can receive."

The Arkive website, run by the charity Wildscreen, hosts 16,000 images of flora and fauna.

It claims to be the world's largest online encyclopaedia of life, receiving donations of images from wildlife film-makers, photographers, conservationists and scientists.

It's beautiful. I wonder what it can be used for.

How to get started in bulk:
Presto 23-Quart Pressure Cooker
BOD's Simple as FUCK Still Air Box
PastyWhyte's Easy Agar Tek
Munchauzen's Cultivation Video Series
How EvilMushroom666 Prepares His Grains (I use jars with Synthetic Filter Discs)
What is G2G? (Grain-to-Grain)
Damion5050's Coir Tek (I use 5.5 - 6 quarts of water instead of 4. Also ignore step 13 and ignore the monotub completely. The only purpose of this tek is to show you how to make a simple substrate. I also add gypsum to it but not necessary)
Spitball's Monotub Tek (A liner isn't necessary but is useful)
Use 6500k lights throughout the whole process. When you wake up, turn the light on. When you go to sleep turn the light off. It's as simple as that.

There are some interesting compounds found in some magnolia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4-O-Methylhonokiol

Quote:

It was shown that 4-O-methylhonokiol activates CB2 receptors and also inhibits the oxygenation of the major endocannabinoid 2-AG via COX-2 in a substrate-selective manner, thus leading to potential synergistic effects at CB receptors.

Do those flowers have a smell? Cause the people at the flee markets around here sell them and too much. A couple of bucks if I remember correctly. I wouldn't be surprised if theywe're selling some unknown species either. Most are uneducated just getting by in life. I bought one with flowers similar to that first one but it died after a couple of blooms. Don't even remember if they had a smell or not. I should go and peruse their plants this coming few days.

Thanks MH for the interesting read. :super:
