Star Cactus (Astrophytum Asterias)
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Star Cactus (Astrophytum asterias) Recovery Plan September 2003 DISCLAIMER Recovery plans delineate reasonable actions which are believed to be required to recover and/or protect listed species. Plans are published by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, sometimes prepared with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, State agencies, and others. Objectives will be attained and any necessary funds made available subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved as well as the need to address other priorities. Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views or the official positions or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service only after they have been signed by the Regional Director as approved. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery tasks.

Botanische Bestimmungsübungen 1 Euphorbiaceae Euphorbiaceae (Wolfsmilchgewächse) 1 Systematik und Verbreitung Die Euphorbiaceae gehören zu den Eudikotyledonen (Kerneudikotyledonen > Superrosiden > Rosiden > Fabiden). Innerhalb dieser wird die Familie zur Ordnung der Malpighiales (Malpighienartige) gestellt. Die Euphorbiaceae umfassen rund 230 Gattungen mit ca. 6.000 Arten. Sie werden in 4 Unterfamilien gegliedert: 1. Cheilosoideae, 2. Acalyphoideae, 3. Crotonoideae und 4. Euphorbioideae sowie in 6 Triben unterteilt. Die Familie ist überwiegend tropisch verbreitet mit einem Schwerpunkt im indomalaiischen Raum und in den neuweltlichen Tropen. Die Gattung Euphorbia (Wolfsmilch) ist auch in außertropischen Regionen wie z. B. dem Mittelmeerraum, in Südafrika sowie in den südlichen USA häufig. Heimisch ist die Familie mit Mercurialis (Bingelkraut; 2 Arten) und Euphorbia (Wolfsmilch; 20-30 Arten) vertreten. Abb. 1: Verbreitungskarte. 2 Morphologie 2.1 Habitus Die Familie ist sehr vielgestaltig. Es handelt sich um ein- und mehrjährige krautige Pflanzen, Halbsträucher, Sträucher bis große Bäume oder Sukkulenten. Besonders in S-Afrika und auf den Kanarischen Inseln kommen auf hitzebelasteten Trockenstandorten zahlreiche kakteenartige stammsukkulente Arten vor, die in den Sprossachsen immens viel Wasser speichern können. © PD DR.

A Tale of Two Cacti –The Complex Relationship Between Peyote (Lophophora Williamsii) and Endangered Star Cactus (Astrophytum Asterias)
A Tale of Two Cacti –The Complex Relationship between Peyote (Lophophora williamsii) and Endangered Star Cactus (Astrophytum asterias). 1 2 2 TERRY, M. , D. PRICE , AND J. POOLE. 1Sul Ross State University, Department of Biology, Alpine, Texas 79832. 2Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Wildlife Diversity Branch, 3000 S. IH-35, Suite 100, Austin, Texas 78704. ABSTRACT Astrophytum asterias, commonly called star cactus, is a federally listed endangered cactus endemic to the Tamaulipan thornscrub ecoregion of extreme southern Texas, USA, and Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Only three metapopulations totaling less than 4000 plants are presently known in Texas. Star cactus, known locally as “star peyote”, is highly sought by collectors. This small, dome-shaped, spineless, eight- ribbed cactus is sometimes mistaken for peyote (Lophophora williamsii), which grows in the same or adjacent habitats. Peyote is harvested from native thornscrub habitats in Texas by local Hispanic people and sold to peyoteros, licensed distributors who sell the peyote to Native American Church members. Annual peyote harvests in Texas approach 2,000,000 “buttons” (crowns). Although the peyoteros do not buy star cactus from harvesters, they cultivate star cactus in peyote gardens at their places of business and give star cacti to their customers as lagniappe. If even 0.1% of harvested “peyote” is actually star cactus, the annual take of this endangered cactus approaches the total number of wild specimens known in the U.S. This real but unquantifiable take, together with information from interviews with local residents, suggests the existence of many more star cactus populations than have been documented.

736 Part 4 The History of Life How are developmental biology and evolution related? Developmental biol- ogy is the study of the processes by which an organism grows from zygote to reproductive adult. Evolutionary biology is the study of changes in populations across generations. As with non-shattering cereals, evolutionary changes in form and function are rooted in corresponding changes in development. While evo- lutionary biologists are concerned with why such changes occur, developmental biology tells us how these changes happen. Darwin recognized that for a com- plete understanding of evolution, one needs to take account of both the “why” and the “how,” and hence, of the “important subject” of developmental biology. In Darwin’s day, studies of development went hand in hand with evolution, as when Alexander Kowalevsky (1866) first described the larval stage of the sea squirt as having clear chordate affinities, something that is far less clear when examining their adults. Darwin himself (1851a,b; 1854a,b) undertook extensive studies of barnacles, inspired in part by Burmeister’s description (1834) of their larval and metamorphic stages as allying them with the arthropods rather than the mollusks. If the intimate connection between development and evolution was so clear to Darwin and others 150 years ago, why is evolutionary developmental biology (or evo-devo) even considered a separate subject, and not completely inte- grated into the study of evolution? The answer seems to be historical. Although Darwin recognized the importance of development in understanding evolution, development was largely ignored by the architects of the 20th-century codifica- tion of evolutionary biology known as the modern evolutionary synthesis. -

Ist Astrophytum Coahuilense Ein Naturhybrid? 37
M6000E Heft 2 Februar 1993 Kakten Jahrgang 44 und andere Sukkulenten Kakteen und andere Sukkulenten Monatlich erscheinendes Organ der als Herausgeber genannten Gesellschaften Heft 2 • Februar 1993 • Jahrgang 44 • ISSN 0022 7846 Zum Titelbild: Astrophytum coahuilense (Moeller) Kayser gehört zu den interessantesten Pflanzen innerhalb der morphologisch so variablen Gattung Astrophytum Lemaire. Es ähnelt einerseits in der äußeren Wuchsform genau Astrophytum myriostigma Lemaire: wie dieses besitzt es meist fünf Rippen und ist dicht mit weißen Wollflocken bedeckt. Sobald jedoch die prächtigen, großen Blüten erscheinen wird andererseits klar, daß eine enge Verwandtschaft zu Astrophytum capricorne (Dietrich) Britton & Rose bestehen muß. Sie sind im Schlund orange bis tiefrot gefärbt und bei Befruchtung entwickelt sich eine purpur-violette, samenreiche Frucht. Die überraschende Mischung der vegetativen und generativen Merkmale bei Astrophytum coahuilense aus den Astrophytum-Linien des südlichen und nördlichen mexikanischen Hochlandes ist auch der Grund für einen noch heute andauernden Meinungsunterschied, wie diese schönen Pflanzen taxonomisch oder in ihrer evolutiven Entwicklung einzustufen sind. Einen Lösungsvor schlag hierzu finden Sie in einem Beitrag auf Seite 37. Astrophytum coahuilense sollte man an einem sonnigen Platz pflegen und von April bis Oktober maßvoll wässern. Ein rein mineralisches Substrat, wie beispielsweise Ziegelsplitt mit Sand gemischt, bietet dann nach trockener Überwinterung um 15-20°C die optimalen Voraussetzungen für regelmäßige Blüten während der sommerlichen Wachtumszeit.

Z literatury Kakteen und andere Sukkulenten č. 6 / 2006 Bohat ě kvetoucí rebucie s dlouhými, k řídov ě bílými trny, je vždy ozdobou sbírky, i když jí chybí jméno. Jedna z takových „anonymních“ rebucií, s věncem pom ěrn ě velkých, syt ě žlutých kv ětů natolik upoutala redaktora, že její snímek uve řejnil na titulní stran ě. Dev ět stran tohoto čísla je v ěnováno historii a p ěstování rodu Sempervivum . Net řesky jsou oblíbeny zejména mezi skalni čká ři, ale po shlédnutí 19 snímk ů, které ilustrují článek, nepochybn ě i řada kaktusá řů zatouží za řadit net řesky mezi kaktusy ve své sbírce. Jejich český název vychází z představy, že do míst a budov osázených net řesky blesk neuhodí. Latinský název znamená „stále žijící“ a sv ědčí o mimo řádné životaschopnosti a odolnosti t ěchto sukulent ů. P řes usilovné a dlouhé studium stále není jasné z kolika druh ů se tento rod skládá. Popsáno bylo asi 200 druh ů, botanicky uznaných je jen kolem 60, nabízí se však zhruba 3000 odr ůd. Na vin ě je p ředevším snadné k řížení net řesk ů jak v přírod ě, tak zám ěrné u šlechtitel ů. Net řesky pat řily mezi vyhledávané lé čivé rostliny. Š ťáva z rozma čkaných list ů sloužila k hojení ran, bolák ů, k odstra ňování bradavic, k potla čování sv ědění p ři svrabu, nebo po poštípání hmyzem. -
