He reminded everyone that our October - Nick Wilkinson meeting would be the 3rd Sunday of the month instead of the •Last Month’s 2nd so mark your calendars for the 17th. Our brag table had some very impressive plants which included a 1st prize “ Best - Meeting Minutes Echeveria” from the Paso Fair submitted by Tim Dawson. He won with his beautiful Echeveria subrigida. Rich Hart also showed us •Genus of the Month his awesome Brunsvigia josephinae. This South African bulb was in - Ferocactus flower that was almost 3 feet tall. He said this plant was 20 years - Adromischus old. He started it from seed and it finally bloomed after 17 years. Our raffle table keeps getting better and thanks to Mary Peracca and Gene Schroeder for donating some of their plants for the raffle table. Our team of Rob Skillen, Charles Spotts and Gene Schroeder all shared their specimens with us for the plants of the month: Thelocactus and Bromeliad. We are so fortunate to have these knowledgeable guys to be a part of our club. Also on that list is Nick Wilkinson who missed the meeting as he was selling at a show. We were honored to have Woody Minnich as our speaker this month from New Mexico. His presentation of Rio Grande Do Sol was informative with wonderful photos and a twist of humor. -

GORDON when he discovered the Orange River at "De Fraaye Schoot" near the present Bethulie, probably on the 23rd December 1777. I. INTRODUCTION When the government of the Republic of South Africa in the early sixties decided to initiate a comprehensive water development scheme of its largest single water resource, the Orange River, this gave rise to a wide range of basic and applied scientific sur veys of that area. The reasons for these surveys were threefold: (1) The huge capital investment on such a water scheme can only be justified economically on a long term basis. Basic to this is that the waterworks be protected, over a long period of time, against inefficiency caused by for example silting. Therefore, management reports of the catchment area should.be produced. (2) In order to enable effective long term planning of the management and use of the natural resources in the area it is necessary to know the state of the local ecosystems before a major change is instituted. -

Nat. Croat. Vol. 27, No. 2, 407- 420*, 2018, Zagreb. In this paper, the plant lists of glasshouse succulents grown in the Botanical Garden from 1895 to 2017 are studied. Synonymy, nomenclature and origin of plant material were sorted. The lists of species grown in the last 122 years are constructed in such a way as to show that throughout that period at least 1423 taxa of succulent plants from 254 genera and 17 families inhabited the Garden’s cold glass- house collection.

A generic-level phylogeny for the tribe was recently produced, providing new insights into relationships between the taxa. Octopoma and Arenifera are woody shrubs with multilocular capsules and are distributed across the Succulent Karoo. Octopoma was shown to be polyphyletic in the tribal phylogeny, but comprehensive sampling is required to confirm its polyphyly. Arenifera has not previously been sampled and therefore its phylogenetic placement in the tribe is uncertain. In this study, phylogenetic sampling for nine plastid regions (atpB-rbcL, matK, psbJ-petA, rpl16, rps16, trnD-trnT, trnL-F, trnQUUG-rps16, trnS-trnG) was expanded to include all species of Octopoma and Arenifera, to assess phylogenetic placement and relationships of these genera. -

A sneak preview The room was small and crowded, people were moving around and chatting all the time: it was very distracting. The 'main event' was a home-video showing the two day ascent of the 4114 m Tromen volcano in Neuquén province, northern Argentinian Patagonia [Figs.1, 2], which gives its name to the provincial nature reserve park there (Parque Provincial El Tromen). The protagonists had been the resident park rangers, and the 'theatre' was their office. It was put on for our benefit, as they'd discovered our interest in the flora as a whole, and violas in particular. -
Some Major Families and Genera of Succulent Plants
SOME MAJOR FAMILIES AND GENERA OF SUCCULENT PLANTS Including Natural Distribution, Growth Form, and Popularity as Container Plants Daniel L. Mahr There are 50-60 plant families that contain at least one species of succulent plant. By far the largest families are the Cactaceae (cactus family) and Aizoaceae (also known as the Mesembryanthemaceae, the ice plant family), each of which contains about 2000 species; together they total about 40% of all succulent plants. In addition to these two families there are 6-8 more that are commonly grown by home gardeners and succulent plant enthusiasts. The following list is in alphabetic order. The most popular genera for container culture are indicated by bold type. Taxonomic groupings are changed occasionally as new research information becomes available. But old names that have been in common usage are not easily cast aside. Significant name changes noted in parentheses ( ) are listed at the end of the table.

A Taxonomic Backbone for the Global Synthesis of Species Diversity in the Angiosperm Order Caryophyllales
Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2015 A taxonomic backbone for the global synthesis of species diversity in the angiosperm order Caryophyllales Hernández-Ledesma, Patricia; Berendsohn, Walter G; Borsch, Thomas; Mering, Sabine Von; Akhani, Hossein; Arias, Salvador; Castañeda-Noa, Idelfonso; Eggli, Urs; Eriksson, Roger; Flores-Olvera, Hilda; Fuentes-Bazán, Susy; Kadereit, Gudrun; Klak, Cornelia; Korotkova, Nadja; Nyffeler, Reto; Ocampo, Gilberto; Ochoterena, Helga; Oxelman, Bengt; Rabeler, Richard K; Sanchez, Adriana; Schlumpberger, Boris O; Uotila, Pertti Abstract: The Caryophyllales constitute a major lineage of flowering plants with approximately 12500 species in 39 families. A taxonomic backbone at the genus level is provided that reflects the current state of knowledge and accepts 749 genera for the order. A detailed review of the literature of the past two decades shows that enormous progress has been made in understanding overall phylogenetic relationships in Caryophyllales. The process of re-circumscribing families in order to be monophyletic appears to be largely complete and has led to the recognition of eight new families (Anacampserotaceae, Kewaceae, Limeaceae, Lophiocarpaceae, Macarthuriaceae, Microteaceae, Montiaceae and Talinaceae), while the phylogenetic evaluation of generic concepts is still well underway. As a result of this, the number of genera has increased by more than ten percent in comparison to the last complete treatments in the Families and genera of vascular plants” series. A checklist with all currently accepted genus names in Caryophyllales, as well as nomenclatural references, type names and synonymy is presented. Notes indicate how extensively the respective genera have been studied in a phylogenetic context. -

Succulents of the Month February 2003 – Cotyledon and Tylecodon
San Gabriel Valley Cactus and Succulent Society Succulents of the Month February 2003 – Cotyledon and Tylecodon Cotyledon and Tylecodon are genera in the Crassulaceae Family. Both are winter growers and generally look their best from late fall through early spring. New growth starts as early as October, but really takes off during the first warmer days of spring. By July 4th all of the plants are going dormant. Tylecodon pearsonii In habitat, Tylecodon are generally deciduous, losing their leaves in summer while Cotyledon are usually evergreen. As with all members of the Crassulaceae family they are poisonous and Cotyledon ladismithiensis farmers in Africa will remove and destroy many Tylecodon in order to keep cattle from eating Tylecodon is a relatively new genus first them. published in 1978. In books published before this date most plants that we know today as Cultivation of both genera is easy. They are Tylecodon will appear as Cotyledon. Both genera winter growers, dormant in the summer. During are closely related to Adromischus (another South dormancy, Tylecodon prefer little or no water, African genus and Kalanchoe (which is depending on size, while Cotyledon do better with widespread and centered in tropical Africa). Both some water even while dormant. Many of the genera are full of wonderful and interesting plants. smaller species are under-shrubs and do best with Virtually every species is worth growing. some shade in the summer. Cotyledon get leggy with time and do much better with pruning during Cotyledon is a genus of mostly shrubby plants the growing period to keep the plants compact with showy leaves.
