    OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY EXTENSION Succulents part 1: The wonderful world of cacti. July 7, 2020 Betzy Rivera. Master Gardener Volunteer OSU Extension – Franklin County OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY EXTENSION Succulent plants Are plants with parts that are thickened and fleshy, capacity that helps to retain water in arid climates. Over 25 families have species of succulents. The most representative families are: Crassulaceae, Agavaceae, Aizoaceae, Euphorbiacea and Cactaceae. 2 OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY EXTENSION The Cactaceae family is endemic to America and the distribution extends throughout the continent from Canada to Argentina, in addition to the Galapagos Islands and Antilles Most important centers of diversification (Bravo-Hollis & Sánchez-Mejorada, 1978; Hernández & Godínez, 1994; Arias-Montes, 1993; Anderson, 2001; Guzmán et al., 2003; Ortega- Baes & Godínez-Alvarez, 2006 3 OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY EXTENSION There is an exception — one of the 1,800 species occurs naturally in Africa, Sri Lanka, and Madagascar Rhipsalis baccifera 4 OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY EXTENSION The Cactaceae family includes between ~ 1,800 and 2,000 species whose life forms include climbing, epiphytic, shrubby, upright, creeping or decumbent plants, globose, cylindrical or columnar in shape (Bravo-Hollis & Sánchez-Mejorada, 1978; Hernández & Godínez, 1994; Guzmán et al., 2003). 5 OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY EXTENSION Cacti are found in a wide variety of environments, however the greatest diversity of forms is found in arid and semi-arid areas, where they play an important role in maintaining the stability of ecosystems (Bravo-Hollis & Sánchez-Mejorada, 1978; Hernández & Godínez, 1994; Guzmán et al., 2003). 6 OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY EXTENSION The Cactaceae family are dicotyledonous plants 2 cotyledons Astrophytum myriostigma (common names: Bishop´s cap cactus, bishop’s hat or miter cactus) 7 OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY EXTENSION General Anatomy of a Cactus Cactus spines are produced from specialized structures called areoles, a kind of highly reduced branch.

Se encuentran amenazadas por la destrucción del hábitat y la extracción con fines comerciales. Argentina es uno de los países de Sudamérica con mayor riqueza y nivel de endemismo de cactáceas, sin embargo, su estudio es escaso, especialmente para las especies de distribución más austral. Dado que un mayor conocimiento sobre la biología reproductiva de los cactus ayudaría a mejorar su conservación, se estudiaron aspectos fisiológicos básicos sobre la germinación de dos especies endémicas de Argentina y Chile, Maihuenia patagonica (Phil.) Britton & Rose y Maihueniopsis darwinii (Hensl.) F. Ritter var. hickenii (Britton & Rose) R. Kiesling. Se evaluó el porcentaje de germinación (G), el tiempo medio de germinación (TMG) y los días transcurridos hasta el inicio de la germinación (IG) de un control y de tres tratamientos pre-germinativos: estratificación húmeda fría, escarificación mecánica con lija y arena, y escarificación mecánica con bisturí.

  • Caryophyllales: a Key Group for Understanding Wood
    Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2010, 164, 342–393. With 21 figures Caryophyllales: a key group for understanding wood anatomy character states and their evolutionboj_1095 342..393 SHERWIN CARLQUIST FLS* Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, 1212 Mission Canyon Road, Santa Barbara, CA 93110, USA Received 13 May 2010; accepted for publication 28 September 2010 Definitions of character states in woods are softer than generally assumed, and more complex for workers to interpret. Only by a constant effort to transcend the limitations of glossaries can a more than partial understanding of wood anatomy and its evolution be achieved. The need for such an effort is most evident in a major group with sufficient wood diversity to demonstrate numerous problems in wood anatomical features. Caryophyllales s.l., with approximately 12 000 species, are such a group. Paradoxically, Caryophyllales offer many more interpretive problems than other ‘typically woody’ eudicot clades of comparable size: a wider range of wood structural patterns is represented in the order. An account of character expression diversity is presented for major wood characters of Caryophyllales. These characters include successive cambia (more extensively represented in Caryophyllales than elsewhere in angiosperms); vessel element perforation plates (non-bordered and bordered, with and without constrictions); lateral wall pitting of vessels (notably pseudoscalariform patterns); vesturing and sculpturing on vessel walls; grouping of vessels; nature of tracheids and fibre-tracheids, storying in libriform fibres, types of axial parenchyma, ray anatomy and shifts in ray ontogeny; juvenilism in rays; raylessness; occurrence of idioblasts; occurrence of a new cell type (ancistrocladan cells); correlations of raylessness with scattered bundle occurrence and other anatomical discoveries newly described and/or understood through the use of scanning electron microscopy and light microscopy.

  • Cactus Seed Germination: a Review
    Journal of Arid Environments (2000) 44: 85±104 Article No. jare.1999.0582 Available online at http://www.idealibrary.com on Cactus seed germination: a review Mariana Rojas-AreH chiga* & Carlos VaH zquez-Yanes Instituto de Ecologn&a, UNAM, Apartado Postal 70-275, 04510 Me&xico, D.F., Me&xico ( Received 8 June 1998, accepted 10 August 1999) The present review tries to give a general overview of the available information on cactus seed germination. First, information about the family Cactaceae is discussed, concerning aspects such as distribution and general characteristics. Seed distinctive features are mentioned, such as colour, form, and size. Aspects of seed physiology, such as germination and dormancy, as well as seed dynam- ics including dispersal, predation, and soil seed bank formation, are included in the discussion. Techniques of propagation and some aspects of longevity and conservation are mentioned. The areas where there is scarce information available are highlighted, and, therefore, are important areas in which to continue research in order to generate data for immediate and future conserva- tion efforts. ( 2000 Academic Press Keywords: cactus seed; dormancy; germination; propagation; longevity; dissemination; conservation Introduction Arid and semi-arid regions cover about 30% of the world's continental surface (Meigs, 1953 in Kigel, 1995). The best-represented plant families in these regions are Asclepiadaceae, Aloaceae, Apiaceae, Asteraceae, Cactaceae, Chenopodiaceae, Euphor- biaceae, Fabaceae, Malvaceae, Poaceae and Zygophyllaceae (Kigel, 1995). Of these families, the Cactaceae are one of the most interesting due to their extensive set of peculiar adaptations to water scarcity, which allow them to be perennial and evergreen despite the sometimes extreme dry conditions of their environment.

For show purposes, a "Novice" is a person who has won less than 10 first place ribbons, when competing against another exhibitor, in Sections 1 through 3 of TC&SC shows (not including mini-shows). Records of first place ribbon winners’ totals are available from the show manager. 3. Exhibits must be the property of the exhibitor. 4. There is no limit in the number of exhibits per class or the number of classes which may be entered by any exhibitor. 5. All entries must be staged between 8:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. 6. Exhibits are to be placed in the sections specified. An entry card must be placed with each exhibit. 7. Exhibitors are responsible for the correctness of their entry cards. Entry cards will be available when entries are received at the registration desk, or may be obtained earlier from the Show Manager for prior completion. 8. The authority for nomenclature and classification of cacti will be The Cactus Family by Edward F. Anderson. The Toronto Cactus and Succulent Club's Show Handbook , available at the registration desk, contains a listing of all succulent genera and the classes in which they may be entered. 9. The word "group" in class categories indicates that many genera are included. A listing of groups specified in this schedule follows the class descriptions. For a complete listing of genera see the Handbook specified in Rule 8.
