Pereskia grandifolia Common Name(s): Rose Cactus Synonym(s): Cactus grandifolius, Cactus rosa, Pereskia ochnacarpa, Rhodocactus grandifolius, Pereskia tampicana, Rhodocactus tampicanus Origin and Habitat: Brazil (Southern America from southernmost Ceará, Pernambuco (native and cultivated), central-eastern and south-eastern Bahia to southern Espírito Santo and south-western Minas Gerais. Perhaps it is also native to Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. It is widely cultivated and ranges south to Santa Catarina and southeastern Mato Grosso. It is commonly introduced in the Neotropics. The natural range of this Pereskia grandifolia remains poorly known, probably through early destruction of its habitat and for the uncertainty as to its native status caused by its widespread introduction as a cultivated ornamental. Habitat and Ecology: This is a humid/subhumid evergreen forest element. The species is widespread and widely cultivated. There is widespread habitat loss due to logging, expansion of urban areas and clearance of forest for agricultural expansion. Cultivation and Propagation: Nearly indestructible, Pereskia grandifolia requires full sun or light shade (but withstand dense shade) and well drained soils, preferably rich neutral organic soils, but may tolerate acidic ones. Growing rate: It is a fast grower, and will quickly become large landscape masterpieces in just a few years. It is a long lived plant and once established, it will be content in its position and with its soil for years. Waterings: Water regularly during the active growing season from March to September. No water should ever be allowed to stand around the roots. Keep almost completely dry in winter. It is drought resistant, but leaves drop during drought. Hardiness: Considered frost tender, but surprisingly cold hardy outdoors and also very sun hardy for a succulent plant. It likes warmth (recommended minimum winter temperature 10° C). Maintenance: Can be pruned for shape and branching. Uses: Often used for edges it is planted by pushing cutting into the ground, its spiny stem soon forming a capital barrier, sometimes grown as a climber, as a basket plant.

L'intégration Du Genre Leuenbergeria Lodé Dans Sa Propre Sous-Famille : Leuenbergerioideae Mayta & Mol

L'intégration du genre Leuenbergeria Lodé dans sa propre sous-famille : Leuenbergerioideae Mayta & Mol. Nov., subfam. nov. par Luis Mayta 1) et EA Molinari-Novoa 2) Cet article a été initialement publié dans Succulentopi@ n°12 p.6-7, le 3 janvier 2015. Pendant longtemps (Butterworth & Wallace, 2005 ; Edwards et al., 2005 ; Butterworth & Edwards, 2008 ; Bárcenas et al., 2011), a été reconnue la paraphylie 3) de Pereskia Mill., l’un des genres les plus primitifs des cactées (Edwards & Donoghue, 2006). Actuellement, les Pereskiae «véritables» ont été délimitées par Nyﬀeler & Eggli (2010). Stevens (2014) propose dans son APWeb le nom Rhodocactus (A. Berger) F.M. Knuth (in Backeberg & Knuth, 1935) comme une alternative possible pour les espèces qui en sont exclues (également connues collectivement comme “clade du Nord”, qui est plus ancien que tout autre dans les cactées, cf. Arakaki et al., 2011). Ce nom a été établi originalement comme un sous-genre de Pereskia. Cependant, cette alternative n'est pas acceptable, car Berger (1926, 1929) a choisi un “véritable” Pereskia comme type de ce sous-genre, et de ce fait, il s’agit d’un synonyme (Backeberg, 1958 ; Leuenberg 1986, 2007). Lodé (2013) a reconnu cette situation et a transféré toutes les espèces concernées dans son nouveau genre, Leuenbergeria, mais ce changement qui était correct, a été ignoré par la plupart des cactologistes, qui maintiennent la paraphylie de Pereskia et donc, la paraphylie de toute la sous-famille.

A Taxonomic Backbone for the Global Synthesis of Species Diversity in the Angiosperm Order Caryophyllales
Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2015 A taxonomic backbone for the global synthesis of species diversity in the angiosperm order Caryophyllales Hernández-Ledesma, Patricia; Berendsohn, Walter G; Borsch, Thomas; Mering, Sabine Von; Akhani, Hossein; Arias, Salvador; Castañeda-Noa, Idelfonso; Eggli, Urs; Eriksson, Roger; Flores-Olvera, Hilda; Fuentes-Bazán, Susy; Kadereit, Gudrun; Klak, Cornelia; Korotkova, Nadja; Nyffeler, Reto; Ocampo, Gilberto; Ochoterena, Helga; Oxelman, Bengt; Rabeler, Richard K; Sanchez, Adriana; Schlumpberger, Boris O; Uotila, Pertti Abstract: The Caryophyllales constitute a major lineage of flowering plants with approximately 12500 species in 39 families. A taxonomic backbone at the genus level is provided that reflects the current state of knowledge and accepts 749 genera for the order. A detailed review of the literature of the past two decades shows that enormous progress has been made in understanding overall phylogenetic relationships in Caryophyllales. The process of re-circumscribing families in order to be monophyletic appears to be largely complete and has led to the recognition of eight new families (Anacampserotaceae, Kewaceae, Limeaceae, Lophiocarpaceae, Macarthuriaceae, Microteaceae, Montiaceae and Talinaceae), while the phylogenetic evaluation of generic concepts is still well underway. As a result of this, the number of genera has increased by more than ten percent in comparison to the last complete treatments in the Families and genera of vascular plants” series. A checklist with all currently accepted genus names in Caryophyllales, as well as nomenclatural references, type names and synonymy is presented. Notes indicate how extensively the respective genera have been studied in a phylogenetic context.

Leaf Cactus, Pereskia Spp
A Horticulture Information article from the Wisconsin Master Gardener website, posted 25 March 2019 Leaf cactus, Pereskia spp. Pereskia is a small genus of tropical cacti that don’t look at all like a typi- cal cactus; all 17 species* have thin, spiny stems and large, privet-like leaves. Native to the Americas from Mexico to Brazil, they superfi cially resemble other types of plants, and often are only marginally succulent and are classifi ed as shrubs or climbers. In their native habitat of dry forests or thorny scrub with a distinct dry sea- son, these plants are typically found mixed in with other trees and shrubs and often look very similar to the sur- rounding plants at fi rst glance. They are in the cactus family (Cactace- ae), however, because they have spines de- A leafy cactus, Pereskia sp. veloping from areoles Pereskia shrubs in habitat in Brazil. (small light- to dark-colored bumps) and the same type of distinctive fl o- ral cup that all plants in this family have. A few other genera in the Cac- taceae also have leaves, but they are either succulent or not persistent, whereas Pereskia is the only genus of cacti that has persistent non- succulent leaves. It is regarded as a primitive cactus group and likely the ancestor of the cactus family resembled these leafy, spiny plants.

Trade in Epiphytic Cacti (Cactaceae Spp.)
CoP15 Doc. 55 CONVENTION ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN ENDANGERED SPECIES OF WILD FAUNA AND FLORA ____________________ Fifteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties Doha (Qatar), 13-25 March 2010 Species trade and conservation TRADE IN EPIPHYTIC CACTI (CACTACEAE SPP.) 1. This document has been submitted by the Management Authority of Switzerland*. Background 2. The listing of Cactaceae spp. in Appendix II contained and continues to contain certain commodities of bulk trade and industrial production, as well as easily identifiable natural taxa that are virtually absent from international trade and not threatened. Consequently, the listing has been streamlined on various occasions in order to exclude taxa not threatened by trade. This lead to exemption of leaf-bearing cacti (Pereskia spp., Pereskiopsis spp. and Quiabentia spp.), artificially propagated, grafted color mutants of Cactaceae spp., certain hybrids and cultivars of epiphytic cacti (Hatiora, Schlumbergera, see below), and cultivars of Opuntia microdasys. Such streamlining allows for a reduction of the workload of authorities in charge of enforcement. Activities like permitting, inspection and reporting for these non-threatened taxa cease. National CITES resources can be allocated in a more effective way, especially for the monitoring of trade in wild-collected plants that are threatened by such trade and their parts and derivatives. 3. Epiphytic cacti are implicitly listed under Cactaceae spp. in Appendix II. International trade in epiphytic cacti is regulated accordingly. In recent times, trade in artificially propagated epiphytic cacti increased dramatically, as they proved to be extremely well suited for indoor cultivation. In contrast, trade in wild- collected specimens is very limited (see Annex 4) and doesn’t show commercial dimensions.

ALL ABOUT SUCCULENTS By Rosario Douglas December, 2018 The exceptions to the rule Most members of the Cactaceae family are succulents, meaning they store water in order to survive dry periods. Thus it is commonly said that all cactus are succulents but not all succulents are cacti. It turns out that this statement is only partially true since cacti in the genera Pereskiopsis, Pereskia, Leuenbergeria and Rhodocactus are exceptions to this rule. The four genera mentioned above are cacti but they are not succulents because they do not really store much water compared with most succulents. Plants in these genera are considered “archaic” or primitive cacti, they are the best living examples of ancestral cacti (Edwards and Donoghue, 2006). Most cacti are leafless and photosynthesis takes place via the stem. The elimination of leaves in most cacti is one of the main adaptations to drought. This is not the case with Pereskia and closely related genera since they have persistent leaves, as well as thin spiny stems. In times of drought Pereskia can drop their leaves (deciduous). Pereskia and related genera are found in the tropical Americas south to northern Argentina. These cacti are trees, bushes or climbing shrubs. In cultivation they are useful for grafting since they do well in nutrient rich soils, although they cannot tolerate moisture over long periods and need to be watered in moderation at regular intervals (Cullman et.al.1986).

The samples had similar amino acid profiles and total dietary fiber. With regard to antinutritional compounds, heating the leaves of PGH led to a decrease in trypsin inhibition, primarily after the first minutes of wet cooking. Oxalic acid and tannins predominated in both species. Considering the interaction with time, the variables related to iron and zinc minimized the tannin responses in PGH and PAM, respectively. Heating media and times interfered with the chemical components present in the leaves of Pereskia species and led to high antinutrient retention after heat treatment.
