    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Star Cactus (Astrophytum asterias) Recovery Plan September 2003 DISCLAIMER Recovery plans delineate reasonable actions which are believed to be required to recover and/or protect listed species. Plans are published by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, sometimes prepared with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, State agencies, and others. Objectives will be attained and any necessary funds made available subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved as well as the need to address other priorities. Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views or the official positions or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service only after they have been signed by the Regional Director as approved. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery tasks.

    A Tale of Two Cacti –The Complex Relationship between Peyote (Lophophora williamsii) and Endangered Star Cactus (Astrophytum asterias). 1 2 2 TERRY, M. , D. PRICE , AND J. POOLE. 1Sul Ross State University, Department of Biology, Alpine, Texas 79832. 2Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Wildlife Diversity Branch, 3000 S. IH-35, Suite 100, Austin, Texas 78704. ABSTRACT Astrophytum asterias, commonly called star cactus, is a federally listed endangered cactus endemic to the Tamaulipan thornscrub ecoregion of extreme southern Texas, USA, and Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Only three metapopulations totaling less than 4000 plants are presently known in Texas. Star cactus, known locally as “star peyote”, is highly sought by collectors. This small, dome-shaped, spineless, eight- ribbed cactus is sometimes mistaken for peyote (Lophophora williamsii), which grows in the same or adjacent habitats. Peyote is harvested from native thornscrub habitats in Texas by local Hispanic people and sold to peyoteros, licensed distributors who sell the peyote to Native American Church members. Annual peyote harvests in Texas approach 2,000,000 “buttons” (crowns). Although the peyoteros do not buy star cactus from harvesters, they cultivate star cactus in peyote gardens at their places of business and give star cacti to their customers as lagniappe. If even 0.1% of harvested “peyote” is actually star cactus, the annual take of this endangered cactus approaches the total number of wild specimens known in the U.S. This real but unquantifiable take, together with information from interviews with local residents, suggests the existence of many more star cactus populations than have been documented.

    BOTANICAL CHECKLISTS Mediterranean Botany ISSNe 2603-9109 https://dx.doi.org/10.5209/mbot.63608 Checklist of the vascular alien flora of Catalonia (northeastern Iberian Peninsula, Spain) Pere Aymerich1 & Llorenç Sáez2,3 Received: 7 March 2019 / Accepted: 28 June 2019 / Published online: 7 November 2019 Abstract. This is an inventory of the vascular alien flora of Catalonia (northeastern Iberian Peninsula, Spain) updated to 2018, representing 1068 alien taxa in total. 554 (52.0%) out of them are casual and 514 (48.0%) are established. 87 taxa (8.1% of the total number and 16.8 % of those established) show an invasive behaviour. The geographic zone with more alien plants is the most anthropogenic maritime area. However, the differences among regions decrease when the degree of naturalization of taxa increases and the number of invaders is very similar in all sectors. Only 26.2% of the taxa are more or less abundant, while the rest are rare or they have vanished. The alien flora is represented by 115 families, 87 out of them include naturalised species. The most diverse genera are Opuntia (20 taxa), Amaranthus (18 taxa) and Solanum (15 taxa). Most of the alien plants have been introduced since the beginning of the twentieth century (70.7%), with a strong increase since 1970 (50.3% of the total number). Almost two thirds of alien taxa have their origin in Euro-Mediterranean area and America, while 24.6% come from other geographical areas. The taxa originated in cultivation represent 9.5%, whereas spontaneous hybrids only 1.2%. From the temporal point of view, the rate of Euro-Mediterranean taxa shows a progressive reduction parallel to an increase of those of other origins, which have reached 73.2% of introductions during the last 50 years.

    Ist Astrophytum Coahuilense Ein Naturhybrid? 37

    M6000E Heft 2 Februar 1993 Kakten Jahrgang 44 und andere Sukkulenten Kakteen und andere Sukkulenten Monatlich erscheinendes Organ der als Herausgeber genannten Gesellschaften Heft 2 • Februar 1993 • Jahrgang 44 • ISSN 0022 7846 Zum Titelbild: Astrophytum coahuilense (Moeller) Kayser gehört zu den interessantesten Pflanzen innerhalb der morphologisch so variablen Gattung Astrophytum Lemaire. Es ähnelt einerseits in der äußeren Wuchsform genau Astrophytum myriostigma Lemaire: wie dieses besitzt es meist fünf Rippen und ist dicht mit weißen Wollflocken bedeckt. Sobald jedoch die prächtigen, großen Blüten erscheinen wird andererseits klar, daß eine enge Verwandtschaft zu Astrophytum capricorne (Dietrich) Britton & Rose bestehen muß. Sie sind im Schlund orange bis tiefrot gefärbt und bei Befruchtung entwickelt sich eine purpur-violette, samenreiche Frucht. Die überraschende Mischung der vegetativen und generativen Merkmale bei Astrophytum coahuilense aus den Astrophytum-Linien des südlichen und nördlichen mexikanischen Hochlandes ist auch der Grund für einen noch heute andauernden Meinungsunterschied, wie diese schönen Pflanzen taxonomisch oder in ihrer evolutiven Entwicklung einzustufen sind. Einen Lösungsvor­ schlag hierzu finden Sie in einem Beitrag auf Seite 37. Astrophytum coahuilense sollte man an einem sonnigen Platz pflegen und von April bis Oktober maßvoll wässern. Ein rein mineralisches Substrat, wie beispielsweise Ziegelsplitt mit Sand gemischt, bietet dann nach trockener Überwinterung um 15-20°C die optimalen Voraussetzungen für regelmäßige Blüten während der sommerlichen Wachtumszeit.

    S.Afr.J. Bot., 1989,55(3): 321-331 321 What is primitive in Mesembryanthemaceae? An analysis of evolutionary polarity of character states V. Bittrich* and M. Struck Institut fUr Allgemeine Botanik und Botanischer Garten der Universitat Hamburg, Ohnhorststr. 18, D-2000 Hamburg 52, West Germany Accepted 16 November 1988 Characters of the family Mesembryanthemaceae are investigated with respect to their state (primitive or derived) within this family. Out-group comparison with the closely related family Aizoaceae s.str. (excl. Mesembryanthemaceae) is used mainly, along with some other criteria. A tabulated survey of the characters discussed is provided. By combination of all characters considered as primitive, a morphotype (,hypothetical ancestor') of the Mesembryanthemaceae can be constructed. It is shown that no extant taxon possesses all features of this morphotype, but that all have acquired a number of derived characters. The possibility of the meronectary being a further synapomorphy of the family is discussed. A new synapomorphy for the subfamily Mesembryanthemoideae, namely the absence of expanding sheets on the valves of the hygrochastic capsule, is provided. The fundamental splitting of the Mesembryanthemaceae in two monophyletic subfamilies (Mesembryanthemoideae and Ruschioideae) is further supported by the results. Kenmerke van die familie Mesembryanthemaceae word, met betrekking tot hul toestand (primitief of afgelei) binne die familie, ondersoek. Buitegroep-vergelyking met die naverwante familie Aizoaceae s. str. (wat die Mesembryanthemaceae uitsluit) word hoofsaaklik, saam met ander kriteriums gebruik. 'n Getabuleerde oorsig van die kenmerke onder bespreking, word voorsien. Deur middel van 'n kombinasie van al die kenmerke wat as primitief beskou word, kan 'n morfotipe (hipotetiese voorouer) van die Mesembryanthemaceae gekonstrueer word.

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.

    European Journal of Botany, Plant Sciences and Phytology Vol.2, No.3, pp.1-15, October 2015 ___Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) ON THE TAXONOMY OF CACTACEAE JUSS BY THE EVIDENCE OF SEED MICROMORPHOLOGY AND SDS-PAGE ANALYSIS Lamiaa F. Shalabi Department of Biological and Geological Sciences, Faculty of Education, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt. Biology Department, Faculty of Sciences, Jazan University, Jazan, Saudi Arabia. ABSTRACT Numerical classification of 16 taxa of Cactaceae was studied using combination of micromorphological characters of seeds (using L.M and SEM) and SDS- PAGE analysis. Aspects of seed micromorphology and seed protein variation as defined were recorded and scored comparatively for the OTU's into a data matrix. Phenetic relationships of these taxa were established based on UPGMA-clustering method by using Jaccard coefficient of the NTSYS-pc 2.2 program. The results were compatible with the traditional relationships of some taxa as the split-off of Opuntia humifusa and Astrophytum myriostigma, at separate lines, these results are compatible with their placement in tribes Opuntieae (subfamily Opuntioideae) and Cacteae (Subfamily cactoideae) respectively, at the time, the placement of three taxa Pseudorhipsalis ramulosa, Rhipsalis baccifera Accession 1, and Rhipsalis baccifera Accession 2 together, the clustering of Hylocereus triangularis and Neobuxbaumia euphorbioides together at a unique tribe Phyllocacteae. The findings contradict in a number of cases the traditional studies, as the grouping of Trichocereus vasquezii with the two represents of genus Parodia despite of their placement in different tribes. KEYWORDS: Cactaceae, SDS-PAGE, Seed micromorpgology, SEM INTRODUCTION The Cactaceae are an exciting and problematic group of plants because of their varied morphology, succulence, and their showy flowers (Barthlott and Hunt 1993).
