In addition, the robust growth, in combination (22) Filed: Mar. 6, 2015 with the freely offsetting characteristic of the new cultivar Emerald Ice, results in the clusters at an early age, and therefore enhances production intervals. The new variety is Publication Classification an Aeonium, part of the Crassulaceae complex that includes Aeonium, Echeveria, Graptopetalum, Sedum and others. (51) Int. Cl.

Alba; Crassulaceae) from Malta (Maltese Islands) differ from previously known S. album plants in having very rarely formed inflorescences mostly without peduncular leaves and floral bracts, flowers in which (3–)5 stamens of one whorl, mostly of the antepetalous one, have dysfunctional and often abortive anthers and only the stamens of the other whorl having 5, dark maroon to blackish-brown, mostly indehiscent anthers at anthesis, pollen which is partly deformed and shrivelled, carpels without nectary scales, and fruits and seeds which remain undeveloped and sterile. The Maltese plants have apparently switched from generative to almost exclusively vegetative reproduction and are described as a new endemic subspecies Sedum album subsp. rupi-melitense. The local history, distribution, habitat, phenol- ogy, and conservation status of this new taxon (which is categorized as Critically Endangered according to IUCN Red List Criteria) are discussed. Key words: asexual reproduction, chromosome number, endemic, Flora of Malta, Mediterranean Flora, IUCN Red List as- sessment, Sedum gypsicola, taxonomy, vegetative reproduction Introduction Sedum Linné (1753: 430) is by far the largest genus of the Crassulaceae and comprises some 420 species, distributed mainly in temperate and subtropical regions of the Northern Hemisphere (Thiede & Eggli 2007).

  • Planting a Dry Rock Garden in Miam1
    Succulents in Miam i-D ade: Planting a D ry Rock Garden John McLaughlin1 Introduction The aim of this publication is twofold: to promote the use of succulent and semi-succulent plants in Miami-Dade landscapes, and the construction of a modified rock garden (dry rock garden) as a means of achieving this goal. Plants that have evolved tactics for surviving in areas of low rainfall are collectively known as xerophytes. Succulents are probably the best known of such plants, all of them having in common tissues adapted to storing/conserving water (swollen stems, thickened roots, or fleshy and waxy/hairy leaves). Many succulent plants have evolved metabolic pathways that serve to reduce water loss. Whereas most plants release carbon dioxide (CO2) at night (produced as an end product of respiration), many succulents chemically ‘fix’ CO2 in the form of malic acid. During daylight this fixed CO2 is used to form carbohydrates through photosynthesis. This reduces the need for external (free) CO2, enabling the plant to close specialized pores (stomata) that control gas exchange. With the stomata closed water loss due to transpiration is greatly reduced. Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM), as this metabolic sequence is known, is not as productive as normal plant metabolism and is one reason many succulents are slow growing. Apart from cacti there are thirty to forty other plant families that contain succulents, with those of most horticultural interest being found in the Agavaceae, Asphodelaceae (= Aloacaeae), Apocynaceae (now including asclepids), Aizoaceae, Crassulaceae, Euphorbiaceae and scattered in other families such as the Passifloraceae, Pedaliaceae, Bromeliaceae and Liliaceae.
