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.

To ensure success it is important to select species appropriate for each site, paying close attention to each species’ sun exposure/ slope aspect and water needs as indicated in the tables. Group plants with similar exposure and water requirements together for maximum irrigation efficiency in the transition zones, and long-term sustainability in the case of restoration plantings. Transition zone plantings may receive some supplemental irrigation, but this should be tapered off in the sub-zone transitions to the naturalized parklands. This same principle is applicable to fuel modification zones. Restoration plantings will likely benefit from temporary irrigation during the initial establishment period, but should be tapered off after the first year or two. The transition zone plant lists are designed to apply to the zones between highly manicured and exotic parklands, such as the Chavez Ravine Arboretum, and the more or less wild parklands matrix.

This guidebook has been designed for all City staff members -- the gardener, the planner, the administrator, the construction staff, the activity programmer, and the facility director – it is available for everyone, in hopes that they may better understand our most precious natural resource, urban trees. The accompanying Tree Care Manual provides useful information regarding the daily supervision, care, and protection of this valuable link to our ecosystem, and is a guide for the custodianship of our ecological community. An ecosystem is a specific biological community interacting with its physical environment. A community consists of all the populations of living things in a given area, including people. The physical environment includes climate, temperature, soil and light. Both the biological community and the physical environment are continually interacting.
