This document has been prepared by Mr James Grogan under contract with the CITES Secretariat.1 2. Background information can be found in two key CITES documents: CoP15 Doc. 55, submitted by the Management Authority of Switzerland, describes the issue under consideration in this report, whether certain genera of epiphytic cacti (seven as listed below) should be excluded from Appendix II based on the preponderance of artificially propagated compared to wild- collected specimens in international trade; IUCN Red List conservation status is reviewed, and trade data for gross exports of wild-collected specimens from range nations during 1975–2008 are presented; PC19 Doc. 14.1, prepared by the Chair of the Working Group on the Periodic Review with assistance from the Scientific Authority of Mexico, presents further analysis of trade data during 1998–2008 including the number of specimens of epiphytic cacti in trade that were artificially propagated, number of records and specimens that were wild collected, confiscated or seized, or of unknown origin during this period, and geographic ranges of species in question.

The Cactaceae are a New World family except for one species, the epiphytic Rhipsalis baccifera, which is also found in Africa, Madagascar and as far east as Sri Lanka. Seven genera are considered here: Disocactus, Epiphyllum, Hatiora, Lepismium, PseudoRhipsalis, Rhipsalis, and Schlumbergera. 4. These genera are grouped in two tribes of the subfamily Cactoideae within the Cactaceae family: Hylocereeae: Disocactus, Epiphyllum, PseudoRhipsalis Rhipsalideae: Hatiora, Lepismium, Rhipsalis, Schlumbergera 5.

Canada V6T 1Z4 Tel: (604) 822-2133 Fax: (604) 822-6089 March 14, 2019 BSA Council Dear Council Members, It is with great pleasure that I nominate Professor Richard Abbott to be a Corresponding Member of the Botanical Society of America. I view Professor Abbott as an international leader in the areas of plant hybridization and phylogeography. His work is notable for its high quality, thoroughness, and careful and nuanced interpretations of results. Also, included in this nomination package is a letter of support from Corresponding Member Dianne Edwards CBE FRS, who is a Distinguished Research Professor at Cardiff University, along with Richard’s CV. Below I highlight several of Prof. Abbott’s most important contributions, as well as the characteristics of his work that I particularly admire. Prof. Abbott is probably best known for his careful elucidation of the reticulate history of Senecio (ragworts and groundsels) of the British Isles. His studies of the Senecio system have combined careful analyses of historical plant distribution records in the UK, with data from ecological experiments, developmental genetics, and population genetic and genomic analyses. This multidisciplinary approach is powerful, and Prof. Abbot’s work has revealed several examples of plant speciation in real time (and there aren’t very many of these). Key findings include (1) the discovery and careful documentation of the homoploid hybrid origin of the Oxford

  • Rethinking Phylogenetics Using Caryophyllales (Angiosperms), Matk Gene and Trnk Intron As Experimental Platform
    Rethinking phylogenetics using Caryophyllales (angiosperms), matK gene and trnK intron as experimental platform Sunny Sheliese Crawley Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Biological Sciences Khidir W. Hilu Eric P. Beers Carla V. Finkielstein Jill C. Sible December 2, 2011 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: (phylogeny, missing data, caryophyllids, trnK intron, matK, RNA editing, gnetophytes) Copyright 2011, Sunny Sheliese Crawley Rethinking phylogenetics using Caryophyllales (angiosperms), matK gene and trnK intron as experimental platform Sunny Sheliese Crawley ABSTRACT The recent call to reconstruct a detailed picture of the tree of life for all organisms has forever changed the field of molecular phylogenetics. Sequencing technology has improved to the point that scientists can now routinely sequence complete plastid/mitochondrial genomes and thus, vast amounts of data can be used to reconstruct phylogenies. These data are accumulating in DNA sequence repositories, such as GenBank, where everyone can benefit from the vast growth of information. The trend of generating genomic-region rich datasets has far outpaced the expasion of datasets by sampling a broader array of taxa. We show here that expanding a dataset both by increasing genomic regions and species sampled using GenBank data, despite the inherent missing DNA that comes with GenBank data, can provide a robust phylogeny for the plant order Caryophyllales (angiosperms). We also investigate the utility of trnK intron in phylogeny reconstruction at relativley deep evolutionary history (the caryophyllid order) by comparing it with rapidly evolving matK. We show that trnK intron is comparable to matK in terms of the proportion of variable sites, parsimony informative sites, the distribution of those sites among rate classes, and phylogenetic informativness across the history of the order.

  • Zane's Orchid Companion Plants at Woodstream Orchids 5810 Huntingtown Road Huntingtown, MD 20639 [email protected] Epiph
    Zane’s Orchid Companion Plants at Woodstream Orchids 5810 Huntingtown Road Huntingtown, MD 20639 [email protected] Epiphytic cacti make up a group of a few hundred species endemic to Central and South America, Mexico, The Everglades in Florida, and Subharan Africa. Most folks are familiar with Christmas and Easter cacti which are hybrids. These are just the tip of the iceberg of a wonderful group of plants that are easy to grow and out of the ordinary. Zane’s Orchid Companion Plants at Woodstream orchids currently grows over 100 different species of epiphytic, or as Zane likes to say ”soft cacti”. Zane started working with Bill when he was four to propagate these cacti from seed and by cuttings. Money from cacti sales goes into his account. Now at age seven he is proud to offer a good selection that will continue to grow over time. Epiphytic cacti need: moderately bright to bright light (east or south window); a fast-draining potting mix like Pro-mix HP; dilute fertilizer during the growing season, water when dry, and intermediate to warm temperatures. There are many cultural references on line, so use a search engine like Google to easily access. Most plants are best sent as unrooted cuttings. Rooted and potted plants and hanging baskets are available at the nursery for pickup. Enjoy!

  • Trade in Epiphytic Cacti (Cactaceae Spp.)
    CoP15 Doc. 55 CONVENTION ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN ENDANGERED SPECIES OF WILD FAUNA AND FLORA ____________________ Fifteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties Doha (Qatar), 13-25 March 2010 Species trade and conservation TRADE IN EPIPHYTIC CACTI (CACTACEAE SPP.) 1. This document has been submitted by the Management Authority of Switzerland*. Background 2. The listing of Cactaceae spp. in Appendix II contained and continues to contain certain commodities of bulk trade and industrial production, as well as easily identifiable natural taxa that are virtually absent from international trade and not threatened. Consequently, the listing has been streamlined on various occasions in order to exclude taxa not threatened by trade. This lead to exemption of leaf-bearing cacti (Pereskia spp., Pereskiopsis spp. and Quiabentia spp.), artificially propagated, grafted color mutants of Cactaceae spp., certain hybrids and cultivars of epiphytic cacti (Hatiora, Schlumbergera, see below), and cultivars of Opuntia microdasys. Such streamlining allows for a reduction of the workload of authorities in charge of enforcement. Activities like permitting, inspection and reporting for these non-threatened taxa cease. National CITES resources can be allocated in a more effective way, especially for the monitoring of trade in wild-collected plants that are threatened by such trade and their parts and derivatives. 3. Epiphytic cacti are implicitly listed under Cactaceae spp. in Appendix II. International trade in epiphytic cacti is regulated accordingly. In recent times, trade in artificially propagated epiphytic cacti increased dramatically, as they proved to be extremely well suited for indoor cultivation. In contrast, trade in wild- collected specimens is very limited (see Annex 4) and doesn’t show commercial dimensions.
