(compilers and editors). 2006. The New Cactus Lexicon. dh Books, Milborne Port, UK. Taxonomic Notes: Accepted as a valid species by Anderson (2001) and Hunt (1999) Assessment Information Red List Category & Criteria: Critically Endangered B1ab(v)+2ab(v) ver 3.1 Year Published: 2013 Date Assessed: November 19, 2009 Justification: Turbinicarpus alonsoi is considered to be Critically Endangered due to its occurrence in a single location with an area of less than 10 km², and because it is continuing to rapidly decline as a result of illegal collecting. Previously Published Red List Assessments 2002 – Critically Endangered (CR) Geographic Range Range Description: This species is endemic to Guanajuato, Mexico. It grows in a single location of less than 10 km² near Xichú, at about 1,900 m asl. Country Occurrence: Native: Mexico (Guanajuato) © The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: Turbinicarpus alonsoi – published in 2013. 1 http://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2013-1.RLTS.T40972A2948392.en Population The current estimated population size is less than 5,000 individuals. Current Population Trend: Decreasing Habitat and Ecology (see Appendix for additional information) This cactus grows in semi-desert scrub on steep rocky calcareous slopes. Systems: Terrestrial Use and Trade (see Appendix for additional information) The species is used as an ornamental, for which it is illegally collected in the wild. Threats (see Appendix for additional information) These plants are threatened by illegal collecting. The habitat has become widely known to collectors. Since its discovery, the population has been reduced by more than 50%. Conservation Actions (see Appendix for additional information) This cactus does not occur in any protected area. It is listed on CITES Appendix I, but the laws governing imports in the countries of destination need to be enforced. This species is currently propagated in Europe from illegally collected plants. The Cadereyta Regional Botanic Gardens has developed a universal technique to reproduce species of the genus Turbinicarpus (including Gymnocactus), with a rate of 5x/4 weeks and 95% soil adaptation success (E.

This document has been submitted by Mexico (Scientific Authority of Mexico – CONABIO).* 2. During the 23rd meeting of the Plants Committee (Geneva, Switzerland, July 2017), in response to Notification to the Parties No. 2017/069, Mexico volunteered to assess Ariocarpus retusus as part of the periodic review of species included in the CITES Appendices in accordance with Resolution Conf. 14.8 (Rev. CoP17). 3. Ariocarpus retusus is a cactus that is endemic to Mexico. Its distribution is restricted to the Chihuahuan Desert, where it grows on rocky limestone hills with dry shrubland vegetation. The potential area of distribution of the species is about 100,000 km2, but its area of occupancy has been estimated to range between 10,490 km2 and 12,661.15 km2. Only 8.6% of the area of occupancy of A. retusus falls within a protected area. The estimated population size was ~ 9,252.36 individuals in 2019. The species has intrinsic biological, reproductive and demographic restrictions which, combined with changes in land use and illegal harvest of wild specimens, pose a threat to the persistence and viability of its wild populations. 4. There is high demand of A. retusus in international trade because it is one of the species most appreciated by collectors.

Spines are a striking feature of cacti and display wide variation in size, number, shape, and texture. This study showed that Turbinicarpus species exhibit not only a high variability in the gross morphology of the spines, but also in their micro-morphology. Their surface can be smooth or ornamented with projections that can be low, conical, pinnate, or long trichomes. The epidermis can be continuous, broken up into single cell elements or transversely fi ssured, the fi ssures extending deeply into the underlying sclerenchyma. The mechanical properties of the spines are related to their anatomy, here documented for the fi rst time. The woody rigid spines being made up of fi bers with thick walls (> 3 μm), while papery or corky spines have a sclerenchyma made up of fi bers with thin walls (< 2 μm). Alternatively, spine anatomy can be dimorphic with the outermost layers made up of thin-walled fi bers and an inner core made up of thick-walled fi bers. Turbinicarpus taxonomy mostly relies on spine features and the newly collected data can contribute to a better understanding of the interspecifi c relationships. The epidermal features like long trichomes or the lack of ornamentation as well as the modifi ed anatomy of corky spines may be apomorphic characters within the genus.

AoB PLANTS 7: plu078; doi:10.1093/aobpla/plu078 http://aobpla.oxfordjournals.org/ Abstract. Understanding which species are introduced and become invasive, and why, are central questions in invasion science. Comparative studies on model taxa have provided important insights, but much more needs to be done to unravel the context dependencies of these findings. The cactus family (Cactaceae), one of the most popular horticultural plant groups, is an interesting case study. Hundreds of cactus species have been introduced outside their native ranges; a few of them are among the most damaging invasive plant species in the world. We reviewed the dri- vers of introductions and invasions in the family and seek insights that can be used to minimize future risks. We com- piled a list of species in the family and determined which have been recorded as invasive. We also mapped current global distributions and modelled the potential global distributions based on distribution data of known invasive at University of Stellenosch on February 6, 2015 taxa.
