This document has been prepared by Mr James Grogan under contract with the CITES Secretariat.1 2. Background information can be found in two key CITES documents: CoP15 Doc. 55, submitted by the Management Authority of Switzerland, describes the issue under consideration in this report, whether certain genera of epiphytic cacti (seven as listed below) should be excluded from Appendix II based on the preponderance of artificially propagated compared to wild- collected specimens in international trade; IUCN Red List conservation status is reviewed, and trade data for gross exports of wild-collected specimens from range nations during 1975–2008 are presented; PC19 Doc. 14.1, prepared by the Chair of the Working Group on the Periodic Review with assistance from the Scientific Authority of Mexico, presents further analysis of trade data during 1998–2008 including the number of specimens of epiphytic cacti in trade that were artificially propagated, number of records and specimens that were wild collected, confiscated or seized, or of unknown origin during this period, and geographic ranges of species in question. Natural range, morphology & taxonomy of the epiphytic cacti 3. The Cactaceae are a New World family except for one species, the epiphytic Rhipsalis baccifera, which is also found in Africa, Madagascar and as far east as Sri Lanka. Seven genera are considered here: Disocactus, Epiphyllum, Hatiora, Lepismium, PseudoRhipsalis, Rhipsalis, and Schlumbergera. 4. These genera are grouped in two tribes of the subfamily Cactoideae within the Cactaceae family: Hylocereeae: Disocactus, Epiphyllum, PseudoRhipsalis Rhipsalideae: Hatiora, Lepismium, Rhipsalis, Schlumbergera 5.

The purpose of a 5-year review is to evaluate whether or not the species' status has changed since it was listed (or since the most recent 5-year review). Based on the 5-year review, we recommend whether the species should be removed from the list of endangered and threatened species, be changed in status from endangered to threatened, or be changed in status from threatened to endangered. Our original listing as endangered or threatened is based on the species' status considering the five threat factors described in section 4(a)(l) of the Act.

  • Lee's Pincushion Cactus
    Lee’s Pincushion Cactus (Escobaria sneedii var. leei) Post-fire Monitoring Report 2016 Prepared for the USFWS Region 2, Albuquerque Daniela Roth EMNRD- Forestry Division Santa Fe, NM INTRODUCTION Lee’s pincushion cactus (Escobaria sneedii var. leei) is endemic to New Mexico, where it is restricted to the Carlsbad Caverns National Park area in the Guadalupe Mountains of Eddy County. It occurs primarily in cracks of limestone outcrops, in areas of broken terrain and steep slopes in Chihuahuan desert scrub communities between 4,000 and 5,000 ft in elevation (Figure 1). Figure 1. Habitat of Lee’s pincushion cactus at Carlsbad Caverns National Park. Lee’s pincushion cactus was listed as a threatened species under the Federal Endangered Species Act on October 25, 1979 (44 FR 61554 61556). The primary reasons for listing were illegal collection and road construction. Fire was not listed as a threat in 1979, nor in the 1986 recovery plan. In fact, the recovery plan considered fire a potential positive impact on plants, due to the elimination of competing vegetation (USFWS 1986). However, the recovery plan listed studying the impacts of fire on Lee’s pincushion cactus as an action that must be taken to prevent a significant decline in the species’ population or habitat quality. Since 2010, multiple fires have burned roughly half of the land area within Carlsbad Cavern National Park, including a significant portion of occupied habitat of Lee’s pincushion cactus. In 2011, the Loop Fire burned 8,221 acres of desert lands within the Park, including a large number of these rare cacti.

  • High Proportion of Cactus Species Threatened with Extinction

A NOTE ON VERSIONS The version presented here may differ from the published version. If citing, you are advised to consult the published version for pagination, volume/issue and date of publication High proportion of cactus species threatened with extinction Supplementary Information Supplementary Methods References (26-37) Database IUCN’s online database, the Species Information Service (SIS), was used to capture the species information. This database was developed to capture and store the information necessary to carry out conservation assessments using the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria 2. It consists of text and numeric fields, and the different classification schemes (e.g. habitat types, threats, use and trade; 5) are integrated as selection boxes. This allows for post hoc analyses. Data compilation The first step in data compilation consisted of populating the SIS database with information available from the literature. The information was entered in the form of the species distributions, population trends, habitat preferences and ecology, conservation actions, use and trade. This task was carried out prior to the workshops (see below) to provide the experts with information they could build on to assess species. Occurrence point data Over 38,000 occurrence point data records were compiled from academic institutions and experts, in the form of geographic coordinates.

  • Phenetic Analysis of Coryphantha, Section Robustispina (Cactaceae), Part 1: Stem Characters
    Phenetic analysis of Coryphantha, section Robustispina (Cactaceae), part 1: stem characters. Final report Marc Baker Arizona State University Main Campus College of Liberal Arts and Sciences School of Life Sciences PO Box 874501 Tempe, Arizona 85287-4501 4 June 2004 Prepared for U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service under contract with the Arizona Board of Regents, University of Arizona, Tucson Abstract A preliminary phenetic analysis was done to evaluate the taxonomic relationships within Coryphantha, section Robustispina, which includes C. robustispina ssp. robustispina, C. robustispina ssp. uncinata, C. robustispina ssp. scheeri, and C. poselgeriana. ANOVA, PCA, and DA procedures were performed on ten continuous stem characters for 14 populations and 447 individuals. Of primary concern was the taxonomic validity of the subspecific taxa within C. robustispina, with C. poselgeriana serving as out-group comparison. Data indicated that populations of C. robustispina ssp. scheeri represent a separate taxon and possibly a distinct species. Populations of both C. robustispina ssp. uncinata and C. robustispina ssp. robustispina are morphologically coherent within their respective taxa and are allopatric between the two taxa, thus indicating that they deserve taxonomic recognition. Individuals of C. poselgeriana were morphologically discrete from those of C. robustispina. Introduction The purpose of the on-going study is to ascertain whether any of the known populations of Coryphantha robustispina are morphologically distinct from one another and whether any such distinction, if significant, reflects geographical range. This information is important for the assessment of the taxonomy of the species. Nomenclature within Coryphantha (Engelm.) Lemaire, section Robustispina Dicht & A. Lüüthy is confusing. A comparison of various taxonomic treatments is given in Table 1.
