In 2000 he organized a tour of Ethiopia for a group of friends. They traveled all over the country and observed a number of wonderful plant habitats. Ethiopia is a fascinating country with a long history of having never been colonized by a European power. The country includes many interesting tribes in the Omo River Valley, intriguing monuments in the north, and unusual Christian churches in the Lalibela area. Theirs is a rich Moslem culture as well.

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.

  • Lithops Scrapbook: Part 1’, Comment on ‘Data on Lithops Cultivar Names’, Cactus World, Formosa, V
    Painting of L. julii subsp. fulleri var. brunnea © Jim Porter and reproduced with kind permission. Brief additional notes to the Cole Lithops monographs by Keith Green. Introduction An abridged version of these notes was published over three issues by the BRITISH CACTUS AND SUCCULENT SOCIETY in their journal CACTUS WORLD, in December 2007, March 2008 and June 2008. This is the complete, unedited project. The following notes evolved from my intention to provide an update (without any duplication) to Professor DESMOND T. COLE’s original Lithops monograph - LITHOPS FLOWERING STONES, published in Randburg, Republic of South Africa by Acorn Books in 1988. An attempt was made to briefly document all of the subsequent discoveries within the genus, with emphasis on the originating source. I gave consideration to every “new” Lithops I saw mentioned (the vast majority of which were termed cultivars) and documented, further researched and where possible obtained photographs of those I considered worthy of the rank afforded them. Over the years I therefore amassed quite a reasonable number of entries. Early in 2003 I learned through the pages of the M.S.G. Bulletin that Professor Cole was going to update his work and have a second edition Lithops monograph published. Subsequently I was able to make contact with Professor Cole, and I sent him a rough copy of these (then embryonic) notes hoping that they would be of some assistance to him in compiling his new book. Although he and Naureen kindly mention my help on p. 11 of ‘Cole’05’, I learnt a great deal more from the Coles’ than they could ever have learnt from me! Professor Cole’s reply (which included some Lithops seed) was most informative.

Box 524, Auckland Park 2006, Johannesburg, South Africa Author for correspondence: Robyn Powell, [email protected] ORCID RFP, http://orcid.org/0000-0001-7361-3164 DOI http://dx.doi.org/10.12705/652.3 Abstract Ruschieae is the largest tribe in the highly speciose subfamily Ruschioideae (Aizoaceae). 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.

    Newsletter der Fachgesellschaft andere Sukkulenten 02: 2009 15.02.2009 Liebe Leserinnen und Leser, Die Zahl der Abonnenten dieses kostenlosen und für alle Interessierten offenen Mediums, der Avonia-News, ist in letzter Zeit weiter gestiegen. Grund genug für uns, die An- strengungen weiter oben zu halten und auf der Suche nach weiteren Mitwirkenden zu sein. Dazu sind auch vielversprechende Kontakte geknüpft worden und wir hoffen, dass Sie, liebe Leser, in Zukunft davon profitieren können. In der aktuellen Ausgabe finden Sie wieder eine Reihe von Beiträgen zu wundervoll ver- schiedenen Bereichen der anderen Sukkulenten – wobei ich immer wieder fasziniert bin von der Vielfalt und Breite. Einer der Hauptgründe, mich mit diesen „Sukkulenten“ zu befassen ist, dass Arten unterschiedlichster Gattungen und Familien ähnliche Anpassungsstrategien entwickelt haben – gezwungen durch vergleichbare Standortanforderungen. Der Sammel- begriff „Sukkulenten“ vereint ja gerade die Anpassungsnotwendigkeit unter dem Begriff der Wasser speichernden Pflanzen. Dass solche und ähnliche Phänomene anziehend sind, zeigen auch die beiden Pressemeldungen. Aus verschiedenen Gründen – aber immer ver- bunden mit der „Neugier“ des Menschen – führt solche „Neugier“ mitunter in ökologische Probleme, die man eigentlich gar nicht vermuten sollte. Nun hoffen wir auch hier, dass letzt- lich die Vernunft siegt und verträgliche Lösungen gefunden werden. Ich hoffe, Sie haben ihre „Probleme“ hinsichtlich der Überwinterung und Aufstellung der Pflanzen im Griff und können mit dieser Ausgabe neue Ideen und Anregungen sammeln, die es vielleicht gilt in der vor uns stehenden Saison auszuprobieren. Dazu viel Erfolg und einen guten Start in eine neue Blütensaison. Die Gewächshausbesitzer unter Ihnen dürften ja bereits die ersten Blüten des neuen Jahres haben, alle anderen werden wohl noch ein wenig warten müssen.

  • 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.

  • CACTUS CORNER NEWS Fresno Cactus & Succulent Society
    CACTUS CORNER NEWS Fresno Cactus & Succulent Society www.fresnocss.org Vol. 32, no. 7 Affiliated with the Cactus & Succulent Society of America July 2015 NEXT MEETING: Thursday, July 2, 7:00 P.M. (doors open 6:30 P.M.) Deaf & Hard of Hearing Service Center (DHHSC), 5340 North Fresno Street, Fresno PROGRAM: Cacti of the Southern Andean Cordillera; Argentina and Chile PRESENTED BY: Rob Skillin This month’s program will feature the cacti from the region of the Southern Andes Mountains of Argentina and Chile (south of Peru and Bolivia), and stretching from the Pacific Ocean eastward through one of the driest areas on earth, the Atacoma Desert, into the western Andean foothills of Chile, to the eastern Andean foothills of Argentina. Our presenter will be Rob Skillin, who has made several trips through South America, from which he has put together this program of habitat shots of cacti ranging from the smallest of the small (Blossfeldia liliputana and Copiapoa laui) to the truly large (Trichocereus and Eulychnia) – with a few succulents thrown in for good measure. I have been growing cacti and succulents for approximately 37 years, and have been involved in various local societies for most of that time, starting with the San Diego C&SS in the 1970’s, then to the Santa Barbara and Bakersfield clubs. I currently belong to the Central Coast C&SS of which I was a founding member, first President and first Show and Sale Chairman. I have also been involved with the CSSA as a member of it’s Board of Directors, and am a CSSA certified Judge.
