Spaces adjacent to the hall will be allotted to show entrants, sales personnel and branch officials in the first instance but any available after this can be used by the visitors. Anybody wishing to sell plants please indicate clearly your desire to sell at the show. Tabling will be provided to suit your wishes, space permitting, so early application is advised. To all show entrants and to those who would like to give a thought to entering the show or attempting something innovative as outlined below Ivor and Peter put on a display of their findings regarding the evolution and spread of Lithops from the last Ice Age with maps of hot spots where these plants first emerged as the southern African continent began to warm up again. It was interesting study and we hope you enjoyed the work displayed. It is our intention to continue this study and produce further information by the time the next show happens on 13th October. We would like to invite anybody to mount any form of display, particularly with mesembs as the theme, which presents their research/observation/ideas in the greenhouse or habitat. This can be with plants, maps or with a slide/digital projection. Roy Earle is prepared to bring a digital presentation which can run on a lap top while the show is in progress for people to watch and he will also bring 20 pictures of mesembs in habitat with a multi choice answer sheet for people to fill in. He is even offering a prize for the winner. Lithops are incredibly, and deservedly, popular and the show does not permit some of the choice, smaller growing species to compete against their larger growing brethren so there is a need to split the species up differently to the present format to allow those species to ‘blossom’ and be seen for the beauty they possess. Any comments, suggestions would be welcome. As has been said to me the small growing mesembs tend to be judged as cacti are in so far as judges look for maturity (which means size, multi headed stature) which is a no go area for many of the species. We need to look at the beauty and colour of markings as well. Many of these species will not grow bigger than 2/3 heads and will never stand the test against those species that can achieve a 5” pot. Following the success of the ‘novelty’ class at the last National Show we could try a novelty class at the Mesemb Show. A suggestion already received include named creations such as “Dintershoe” for an exhibit of a boot with Dinteranthus plants planted out in it. I am sure you could come up with similarly good ideas. Another suggestion is a class for a “Mesemb Garden” which would consist of an artistic arrangement of mesembs in a suitable container e.g. a small aquarium, a glass bottle, a stone trough or a bonsai pot. These are all novel ideas to add spice and interest to an already splendid format. Anything that increases interest from the ‘ordinary’ member is to be welcomed. Mesembs are beautiful but not well enough understood or valued by most of the membership of succulent growers, Society members or not. Help spread the interest. Hallo fellow entrants. In addition to the normal schedule accompanying this letter there are some ideas we wish to try out to add interest to the show. The following classes have been added to provide a different aspect to the display of plants in the show. Class 39. An innovative display of plant/s in an unusual container (the display should have an appropriate name) 40. A mesemb garden (this should be an artistic display of 4 or more species in a suitable container – this would preferably not be a pot) 41. A presentation based on research/observations/ideas about plants in the greenhouse or habitat. This class is for people to view with interest and will not be judged. .

Three ways to contact us: FAX: (303) 621-2864 (24 HRS.) email: [email protected] website: www.alplains.com Dear Growing Friends: Welcome to our 23rd annual seed catalog! The summer of 2012 was long, hot and brutal, with drought afflicting most of the U.S. Most of my botanical explorations were restricted to Idaho, Wash- ington, Oregon and northern California but even there moisture was below average. In a year like this, seeps, swales, springs, vestigial snowbanks and localized rainstorms became much more important in my search for seeding plants. On the Snake River Plains of southern Idaho and the scab- lands of eastern Washington, early bloomers such as Viola beckwithii, V. trinervata, Ranunculus glaberrimus, Ranunculus andersonii, Fritillaria pudica and Primula cusickiana put on quite a show in mid-April but many populations could not set seed. In northern Idaho, Erythronium idahoense flowered extensively, whole meadows were covered with thousands of the creamy, pendant blossoms. One of my most satisfying finds in the Hells Canyon area had to be Sedum valens. The tiny glaucous rosettes, surround- ed by a ring of red leaves, are a succulent connoisseur’s dream. Higher up, the brilliant blue spikes of Synthyris missurica punctuated the canyon walls. In southern Oregon, the brilliant red spikes of Pedicularis densiflora lit up the Siskiyou forest floor. Further north in Oregon, large populations of Erythronium elegans, Erythronium oregonum ssp. leucandrum, Erythro- nium revolutum, trilliums and sedums provided wonderful picture-taking opportunities. Eriogonum species did well despite the drought, many of them true xerics.

  • What Is Primitive in Mesembryanthemaceae? an Analysis of Evolutionary Polarity of Character States
    S.Afr.J. Bot., 1989,55(3): 321-331 321 What is primitive in Mesembryanthemaceae? An analysis of evolutionary polarity of character states V. Bittrich* and M. Struck Institut fUr Allgemeine Botanik und Botanischer Garten der Universitat Hamburg, Ohnhorststr. 18, D-2000 Hamburg 52, West Germany Accepted 16 November 1988 Characters of the family Mesembryanthemaceae are investigated with respect to their state (primitive or derived) within this family. Out-group comparison with the closely related family Aizoaceae s.str. (excl. Mesembryanthemaceae) is used mainly, along with some other criteria. A tabulated survey of the characters discussed is provided. By combination of all characters considered as primitive, a morphotype (,hypothetical ancestor') of the Mesembryanthemaceae can be constructed. It is shown that no extant taxon possesses all features of this morphotype, but that all have acquired a number of derived characters. The possibility of the meronectary being a further synapomorphy of the family is discussed. A new synapomorphy for the subfamily Mesembryanthemoideae, namely the absence of expanding sheets on the valves of the hygrochastic capsule, is provided. The fundamental splitting of the Mesembryanthemaceae in two monophyletic subfamilies (Mesembryanthemoideae and Ruschioideae) is further supported by the results. Kenmerke van die familie Mesembryanthemaceae word, met betrekking tot hul toestand (primitief of afgelei) binne die familie, ondersoek. Buitegroep-vergelyking met die naverwante familie Aizoaceae s. str. (wat die Mesembryanthemaceae uitsluit) word hoofsaaklik, saam met ander kriteriums gebruik. 'n Getabuleerde oorsig van die kenmerke onder bespreking, word voorsien. Deur middel van 'n kombinasie van al die kenmerke wat as primitief beskou word, kan 'n morfotipe (hipotetiese voorouer) van die Mesembryanthemaceae gekonstrueer word.

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.

  • Aloinopsis Leo A
    Aloinopsis Leo A. Martin Schwantes first described Aloinopsis in 1926. They are members of family Aizoaceae, the mesembs, and closely related to genera Deilanthe, Ihlenfeldtia, Nananthus, Prepodesma, Tanquana, and Titanopsis. Controversy still swirls over exactly which name to put on which species, but this doesn't matter to the hobbyist; go ahead and call them all Aloinopsis. Most come from the Karoo and Little Karoo regions of South Africa. They are small plants with tuberous or swollen roots and rough leaves in rosettes. Most are somewhat to extremely cold hardy and bloom in the winter. The flowers are mostly yellow to pink, fragrant, and open in the afternoon, closing after dark. They experience rain at any season, but most rain falls during their summer, and winter months are the driest. A. spathulata grows in the coldest region of South Africa, with winter temperatures down to 10 degrees F, and has survived outdoors in Utah with only a light cover. Here in Phoenix they rest during the heat of the summer, at which time they require little water. When nights begin to cool, mine grow and start to form buds, and I get buds scattered throughout the winter. During this time they will tolerate much more water. Deep pots are often used owing to the large rootstocks. The plants I have lost have all died during the summer if watered too often. I plant mine in pure mineral soil, in narrow but deep pots. I give near full sun with afternoon shade. I water about every 10 days in the summer, after they get completely dry, and it's okay to let them stay dry even longer.

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.

  • Mesembryanthemaceae James A
    Mesembryanthemaceae James A. Robbins December 1982 Mesembryanthemaceae is a family of the plant kingdom with perhaps the longest name (19 letters) with the relatively simple meaning of, “pistil in the middle.” It was formerly spelled Mesembrianthemum, with the meaning of “midday flower,” but as some bloom in the morning, afternoon and many at night, the name was changed. The family is composed of mostly succulent plants of which 99% are found in south or southwest Africa. The other one-percent are found in coastal areas of Australia, New Zealand, Mediterranean area, Canary Islands, and the western coasts of Chile and California. Plants of the Aizoaceae, as many were first known, have been studied as long ago as 1652, and came into cultivation about then. Some who worked with these plants were Prof. Paul Hermann, Richard Bradley, Andrian Hardy Haworth, Alwin Berger, Dr. N. E. Brown, and Dr. H. M. Bolus. Dr. Brown was one of the first to separate the large genus Mesembryanthemum into many smaller units. Dr. Bolus, Prof. K. Dinter, and later Prof. Dr. G. Schwantes carried on this division. Still later, workers in the field were Dr. Marloth, Prof. Nel (Lithops) Jacobsen, (Vol. 111, A Handbook of Succulent Plants, and the most recent English edition of his Succulent Lexicon), Volk, Prof. Desmond Cole (with his recent revision of the genus Lithops), and Rawe (with his revision of the genus Conophytum, which is going on right now in the American Cactus and Succulent Journal, Vol. XLVII, 1975). Probably, though, we owe most of our present day knowledge to the grand old man of succulent collectors, Hans Herre, former curator for many years of the gardens at the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa.
