A Kerosine plant. Never mess with it!

This is Dictamnus albus—commonly called gas plant. On hot days, it emits a citrusy, flammable oil that briefly ignites when exposed to flame. It’s completely harmless to the plant, but incredible to witness.

Don't underestimate anyone! There's always someone stronger than you! (a venus flytrap plant)

The plant is commonly known as the Petroleum Nut (Pittosporum resiniferum). That liquid is an oil super-rich in hydrocarbons like heptane, which is why it ignites so easily. The truly fascinating part is why it evolved this. It's not for us; it's a chemical defense system. The volatile compounds are designed to be toxic or taste terrible to herbivores and insects. The fact that it doubles as high-octane biofuel is just a wild side-effect of its evolutionary arms race.

Mimosa pudica, also known as the “touch-me-not,” is known for its rapid leaf-folding response when touched or disturbed. This movement serves as a defence mechanism against herbivores or environmental stress.

But does the pyro-plant taste as good as gasoline?

I have heard abt this plant. But it can’t catch fire like that. The whole area would be burning 🔥 all the time if it is so volatile

The plant is emitting flammable oil is fine, but how is the match stick catching fire by itself? @grok please explain.

What kind of plant is this, I have seen it for the first time, is this video made with AI.

I imagine we've already looked at the possibility of harvesting this for vehicle fuel and there's probably a good reason why we don't use it am I correct?

Dam where these plants be at when I’m camping and trying to start the campfire

The White Bhilawa, a mysterious seed, has an unusual property- it catches fire instantly.

They dip the match in hand sanitizer before lighting it off-camera, which causes a delay in the ignition in time for them to bring it in frame.

did you know the alcohol flame is really hard to see?

I did not have this on my bingo card for today. Wow.

The way she just gave up in the end..😂😂

Add a little glycerin to match stick tip and it’ll burn a few seconds later all by itself. That is how the fruit of this plant is sold mostly in buldhana n nadurbar areas of maharashtra as a medicine for pain to gullible people.

The life of marbles 😱

oups

Me looking for that plant for my backyard

Wow This is amazing

Oh my goodness.

Can u use a cigar for that 🤭🤭🤭

Nature never fails to amaze me 😳 wonderfull!

I won’t!

How can she missed that chance

@grok explain this?
