CENTRAL COAST CACTUS AND SUCCULENT SOCIETY NEWSLETTER Pismo Beach,CA93449 780 MercedSt. c/o MarkusMumper & SucculentSociety Central CoastCactus On the Dry Side February 2010 Inside this issue: CCCSS January Meeting Recap •Upcoming Speaker Our new President Gene Schroeder welcomed everyone to our - Petra Crist first meeting of 2010! He started off by thanking Mary Perraca for her two years of volunteering with a certificate of appreciation •Plant of the Month and a gift certificate. Gene introduced the present board and - Aeonium asked members to start thinking about getting ready for our May Show & Sale committee. And thanks to Rob Skillin for another great selection of raffle plants. Held back for the last four lucky ticket holders were an Adenia glauca, multi-headed Euphorbia horrida and two boxed collections of Haworthia and Gymnocalycium. Our plant of the month was Echeveria. Our guest speaker Brian Kemble took over this duty by talking about this beautiful genus. Brian is from the San Francisco area and has worked for 29 years at the Ruth Bancroft Gardens in Walnut Creek. Echeveria is in the Crassulaceae family and is mainly from Mexico and but some grow through to the tip of South America. There are around 130 species of this unique plant. From his travels Brian shared that Echeveria can grow in diverse conditions. His slide show included some very interesting pictures of some Echeveria growing as epi- phytes. One particular picture was an awesome shot of a very large Beaucarnea with Agave, Echeveria and Tillandsia growing epiphytically on the large Bottle Palm. Echeveria come in many sizes, some as small as a coin and some, like E. gibbiflora, can be as large as a foot across. E. gibbiflora can also get 2 feet tall stems and flowers stalks 3 feet tall. In some areas Echeveria share grow- ing areas with Salvia, Stenocactus, Hechtia, Ferocactus, Agave and conifers. We saw pictures of Echeveria growing on tiny little cracks in the sides of steep rock faces or growing in the middle of nowhere, thanks to the wind blowing those seeds around. Brian recommends the website www.crassulaceae.com to find some of the best information on Echeveria. By the time you are reading this I’m sure our week or so of rain storms have calmed down. So now is the time to start thinking about what plants you may want to enter in our May Show & Sale. Not to mention that we all have lots of weeding to do, so start cleaning those plants and start thinking about helping out with our show and sign up to help at our next meeting! Remember it takes a lot of people to make it all work. ~Jan Moon FEBRUARY’S PROGRAM NEXT meeting: NAMIBIA Sun, Feb. 14’th at 2:00 pm l0l SPEAKER OF THE MONTH: N Petra Crist, Owner - Rare Succulents San Luis Obispo Library Mill I’ll let Petra tell her story in her own words: San Luis Obispo Palm Public Library “About me?: I came over to the States in 1994. I always had some plants, especially cacti and succulents – not that I knew the difference at that time, way back when in S Monterey Santa Rosa Germany. I almost immediately started collecting and after being introduced to the Osos Intercity Show and the Huntington Botanical Gardens (especially the desert gardens) Higuera Morro there was no turning back. The ball was rolling and a few years later I successfully Chorro 995 Palm Street showed some of my “babies” for the fi rst time. Slowly but steadily the hobby (or ad- San Luis Obispo diction, as my husband calls it) grew into the business that it is now. The little backyard operation in Whittier grew way out of the restrictions of a residential property and almost a year ago we were lucky enough to fi nd a piece of property that does fi t the expansion – for right now – in Rainbow, Northern San Diego County. I mainly deal in Caudiciforms and Pachycauls (also called Fat Plants). I import, take cuttings where possible, propagate and grow from seed.” Petra will speak to us about the plants of the Republic of Namibia and the Richters- veld, the northern region of South Africa. The climates vary with Namibia having mostly summer rain while the South African Richtersveld (some of you may know this region as the Karoo Desert) having sharply delineated summer and winter rain cli- mate areas. Thus, the varieties of genus and specie are vast considering the relatively small geographical area.

  • Ponytail Plant - ARID DOME

    Ponytail Plant - ARID DOME

    8/25/2009 Ponytail Plant - ARID DOME The ponytail plant grows in the Arid Dome. It is sometimes wrongly called the ponytail palm, but it is more closely related to agave or yucca than palm trees. These related plants are native to Mexico. They used to be in the same botanical family, but recent reclassification has separated them into different families. The scientific name is Beaucarnea recurvata. The common name ponytail plant comes from the thick mop of long, straplike leaves that are in a cluster at the top of the plant. The tree keeps its leaves and replaces them only when they are removed by a storm or other injury. This plant is something like a camel because it can survive for long dry periods using the water that is stored in its swollen trunk. The bark of the swollen base of the plant looks very much like the rough skin of an elephant, so another common name for this plant is “elephant foot.” Ponytail plants can grow to 6 feet in a container, but grow to 30 feet outdoors. They grow very slowly. This makes them good house plants because they do not need a lot of care and do not outgrow their pots for a long time. Seeds and plants are available at many commercial websites, such as gflora.com which provided the image accompanying this article. Mature plants produce many, small, creamy-white flowers on long panicles. You can sometimes see them in bloom at the Domes. They may flower two or three times a year.
  • H3.3 Macaronesian Inland Cliff

    H3.3 Macaronesian Inland Cliff

    European Red List of Habitats - Screes Habitat Group H3.3 Macaronesian inland cliff Summary The perennial vegetation of crevices and ledges of cliff faces in Macaronesia away from coastal salt-spray is of very diverse character - some, for example, dominated by succulents, others rich in ferns and bryophytes characteristic of shaded situations - and it includes several hundreds of taxa endemic to the archipelagoes. The main threats are mountaineering and rock climbing, outdoor sports and leisure activities, and construction of infrastructures such as roads and motorways. Synthesis There is no evidence of significant past reductions, either in the last 50 years or historically, and also future prospects are good, as no serious threats are envisaged, besides touristic/leisure activities and putative faulty environmental impact assessments that may overlook this habitat as valuable. Reduction in quantity, reduction in quality and criteria of geographic distribution yield the Least Concern (LC) category. In spite of the LC category, conservation policy and management should restrict to the maximum any threat to or reduction of the habitat, as it has a very high conservation value, because of high endemism of species and communities with many local and regional variaties. Overall Category & Criteria EU 28 EU 28+ Red List Category Red List Criteria Red List Category Red List Criteria Least Concern - Least Concern - Sub-habitat types that may require further examination Four general subtypes can be distinguished based on species composition and different ecological conditions. However, at present, no data are available to carry out an individual assessment of each of them. In the future, if detailed plot sampling has been carried out, such an evaluation may be possible.

  • Aeonium Webb & Berthelot in Gibraltar

    Aeonium Webb & Berthelot in Gibraltar

    Comunicaciones 1 HE GENUS AEONIUM WEBB & BERTHELOT IN GIBRALTAR Brian M. Lamb /Conservador del Gibraltar Botanic Gardens The genus Aeonium Webb & Berthelot belongs to the family Crassulaceae often refered to as the Houseleek family. Some 32 species are endemic to the Canary Islands, two to the Cape Verde Islands, two to Madeira, one to Morocco and possibly today three on the other side of Africa from northem Kenya through to Arabia. The three species that can be seen in Gibraltar are: A. undulatum native to Gran Canaria A. haworthii native to Tenerife A. arboreum native to Morocco. The two Canarian Aeoniums have almost certainly been introduced by man, probably during the latter part of the 19th century, particularly A. ~indulatumwhich is usually only found as a cultivated plant grown only on a small scale. However, A. haworthii is to be found in a number of places in Gibraltar, as naturalised colonies growing from pockets or fissures in the limestone rock, particularly on the eastem side, southwards from Catalan Bay, while on the westem side a sizeable colony exists below Bleak House and a small one is now forming near Camp Bay, growing in association with native Sedum. A. haworthii seems to be quite a popular patio and verandah plant, as it is not a giant growing species, and has lovely red edged glaucous leaves. The flower colour is variable, from white or pale yellow through to rose-pink. The seeds ofAeonium are very small, as with most members of the family Crassulacease, produced in great abundance, and are easily distributed by the wind.

Received: 28/10/2018 Abstract: Ponytail palm (Beaucarnea recurvet Lem.; Family Asparagaceae) is one of the most important plants in the internal and external coordination. This work was carried out to study the effect of media type (MS, B5 and WPM) and Benzylaminopurine BAP at 0, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 mg/l during multiplication stage. The shoot tips were collected from in vitro seedlings cultured on MS medium without growth regulators. B5 medium supplemented with 0.4 mg/l (BAP) increased number of shoots (3.40 shoots/clump) and number of leaves (24) plant compared with other treatments. The B5 medium is preferable within mass production and featured commercial. The BAP Concentration 0.4 mg/l promotes shoots initiation and development with B5 medium more than MS and WPM.

With 2 figures Think tank: water relations of Bromeliaceae in their evolutionary context JAMIE MALES* Department of Plant Sciences, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3EA, UK Received 31 July 2015; revised 28 February 2016; accepted for publication 1 March 2016 Water relations represent a pivotal nexus in plant biology due to the multiplicity of functions affected by water status. Hydraulic properties of plant parts are therefore likely to be relevant to evolutionary trends in many taxa. Bromeliaceae encompass a wealth of morphological, physiological and ecological variations and the geographical and bioclimatic range of the family is also extensive. The diversification of bromeliad lineages is known to be correlated with the origins of a suite of key innovations, many of which relate directly or indirectly to water relations. However, little information is known regarding the role of change in morphoanatomical and hydraulic traits in the evolutionary origins of the classical ecophysiological functional types in Bromeliaceae or how this role relates to the diversification of specific lineages. In this paper, I present a synthesis of the current knowledge on bromeliad water relations and a qualitative model of the evolution of relevant traits in the context of the functional types. I use this model to introduce a manifesto for a new research programme on the integrative biology and evolution of bromeliad water-use strategies. The need for a wide-ranging survey of morphoanatomical and hydraulic traits across Bromeliaceae is stressed, as this would provide extensive insight into structure– function relationships of relevance to the evolutionary history of bromeliads and, more generally, to the evolutionary physiology of flowering plants.

    ADRIAN HARDY HAWORTH BIOGRAPHY Chuck Staples, CSSA Historian

    ADRIAN HARDY HAWORTH BIOGRAPHY Chuck Staples, CSSA Historian Haworth, Adrian Hardy (1767–1833)—during the golden time of botany, a leading author of succulent plants in England—with the ever popular Haworthia genus named in his honor. Born in Cottingham near Hull, England on 19 April 1767, Adrian Hardy Haworth became a gardener, amateur botanist, zoologist, taxonomist, ornithologist and entomologist. He was the son of Benjamin Haworth of Haworth Hall. His early education was with tutors which was directed toward a career in law. However, after his older brother inherited the estate after their father's death, and after allowing AH Haworth a sufficient allowance to give up the legal profession—at age 21 he devoted all his time to natural history pursuits of plants and insects. At Chelsea, England AH Haworth had one of the finest private gardens in all England—assembling the first important succulent collection of his time. His research work was due to regular visits to the Royal Botanic Gardens at Key, England—and the use of the library and herbarium of Sir Joseph Banks. Of special interest to the succulent plant enthusiast is the popular genus Haworthia that was named in AH Haworth's honor in 1809 by Dr Henri Auguste (1777–1814). Among the generic plants described by AH Haworth are: Duvalia, Epiphyllum, Mammillaria, Orbea, Tridentea and Tromotriche in 1812; Pectinaria in 1819; and Cephalophyllum, Hymenogyne and Monanthes in 1821. The genus Epiphyllum was first used as a name in c1689 by Dr Paul Hermann (1646-1695), but was never published by him until AH Haworth did so in 1812.

    Networks in a Large-Scale Phylogenetic Analysis: Reconstructing Evolutionary History of Asparagales (Lilianae) Based on Four Plastid Genes

    Networks in a Large-Scale Phylogenetic Analysis: Reconstructing Evolutionary History of Asparagales (Lilianae) Based on Four Plastid Genes Shichao Chen1., Dong-Kap Kim2., Mark W. Chase3, Joo-Hwan Kim4* 1 College of Life Science and Technology, Tongji University, Shanghai, China, 2 Division of Forest Resource Conservation, Korea National Arboretum, Pocheon, Gyeonggi- do, Korea, 3 Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, United Kingdom, 4 Department of Life Science, Gachon University, Seongnam, Gyeonggi-do, Korea Abstract Phylogenetic analysis aims to produce a bifurcating tree, which disregards conflicting signals and displays only those that are present in a large proportion of the data. However, any character (or tree) conflict in a dataset allows the exploration of support for various evolutionary hypotheses. Although data-display network approaches exist, biologists cannot easily and routinely use them to compute rooted phylogenetic networks on real datasets containing hundreds of taxa. Here, we constructed an original neighbour-net for a large dataset of Asparagales to highlight the aspects of the resulting network that will be important for interpreting phylogeny. The analyses were largely conducted with new data collected for the same loci as in previous studies, but from different species accessions and greater sampling in many cases than in published analyses. The network tree summarised the majority data pattern in the characters of plastid sequences before tree building, which largely confirmed the currently recognised phylogenetic relationships. Most conflicting signals are at the base of each group along the Asparagales backbone, which helps us to establish the expectancy and advance our understanding of some difficult taxa relationships and their phylogeny.
