  • Useful Concepts
    Useful Concepts An accidental bonsai (2018). This is a Genovese basil plant, a Western kitchen herb. It’s not supposed to be very long-lived. This is an old plant, and the trunk looks terrible. It has split and the bark is flaking. Some stems are also dead. Likewise, for cacti that are short- lived, you will be hard-pressed to keep them in great shape for many years. Many cacti are just green stems – how many regular green-stemmed leafy plants do you know that can live for many, many years and stay in good shape? The following piece is part of a collection of writings published on the Practical Small Cacti Malaysia site . Things to Think About Writing is a really useful activity, especially when it comes to writing about the cultivation of cacti in a tropical climate. Many a time, I thought I have understood something, but when I went over the material after a few months, I realized that I was on the wrong path. Over time, I have taken note of a number of concepts – things to think about – that helped to direct my lines of thought in the right direction. If we understand cactus plants better, we can take better care of them. -1- Nicknames for Scientific Names PMag = Parodia magnifica GBald = Gymnocalycium baldianum PClav = Parodia claviceps MGeo = Myrtillocactus geometrizans This naming scheme is purely for convenience. Just think of them as webchat nicknames. It’s All Kinds of Green Stems Some MGeo specimens, January 2019. Growing cacti means dealing with all kinds of green stems.

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.

Lambert Cuesta Miranda Photo:- J. Lambert North of Mendoza City Photo:- K.Gilmer Pyrrhocactus strausianus 42 FROM MENDOZA TO BARREAL By H. Kallenowsky Coming over the Andes from Chile in mid-August, we made an overnight stop at Mendoza city. Next day we took the road leading from Mendoza to Uspallata which passes through Cacheuta and Portrerillos and then starts to enter a valley which becomes steadily narrower. The road follows the Rio Mendoza, which has cut its way through the Sierra Uspallata on the outer range of the Andean Cordillera. In places there are huge cliffs to be seen bordering the east side of the river but the road runs along the hillside on the west side of the river. There are no bridges across the river until one reaches the western side of the Sierra Uspallata. The hillsides next to the road were occupied by a patchwork of dense clumps of shrubs and bare ground which was made up of earth and stones. Where the hillsides sloped less steeply there were occasional tall Denmoza which could be seen from the road, standing up above the shrubs. One of these was 1.7m tall. In order to climb a hillside we had to look for a way of winding round the clumps of bushes. In places the hillsides are very steep and often the bare ground is covered in loose stones, whilst in other places it is less steep, but one still has to be very careful when walking over a hillside because of the loose stones.
