Schütziana 11(2020)1 p. 1 Editorial Dear Gymnocalycium friends Mario Wick On looking at the Schütziana Internet homepage, you will probably have noticed that a young Chinese student of agricultural sciences from Ningbo, China, has agreed to translate Schütziana into Chinese. The editorial staff is very grateful for that, as we thus add 1.4 billion new readers to our audience – even if there might not be quite as many in the end. This issue is going to complete the series “The seeds of the genus Gymnocalycium Pfeiffer ex Mittler”, presenting the fourth part about the subgenus Macrosemineum. The four parts would certainly have offered enough information for a book; therefore, we have decided to publish all four parts in a special edition of Schütziana. As all the editorial staff are volunteers, this will not be possible right away. New information as to the Gymnos can be reported constantly. This is why we had to revise the distribution maps of the subgenus Macrosemineum shortly before the completion of the first issue 2020. Ludwig Bercht, together with his travel companions, found Gymnocalycium hyptiacanthum subsp. uruguayense in Argentina as well, south of the town Concepción del Uruguay. In the second contribution to this issue, our editorial member Thomas Strub gives us an understanding of Gymnocalycium meregallii, first described by Ludwig Bercht in Schütziana in 2012. This plant was the topic of the International Gymnocalycium Meeting in September 2019. This species has certainly not been distributed widely in collections so far, so that the paper presented here is a valuable contribution to the knowledge of this species as well as Gymnocalycium andreae and Gymnocalycium bruchii, which also occur in the distribution area. As usual, enjoy yourselves reading! We would like to express our warmest thanks to Mrs Iris Blanz (Fernitz, Austria), to Mr Brian Bates (Bolivia) and to Mr Graham Charles (United Kingdom), who support us with the translation into English, to Mrs Larisa Zaitseva for the translation into Russian (Tscheljabinsk, Russia), to Mr Takashi Shimada (Japan) for the translation into Japanese, to Mr Jiahui Lin (China) for the translation into Chinese and to Mr Daniel Schweich (France), who has mirrored our publications under http://www.cactuspro.com/biblio/.

The species are introduced with a picture at their locality, of their habitat and their seeds. A map of the localities of the individual plants completes the publication. Part 4 deals with the subgenus Macrosemineum. KEYWORDS: Cactaceae, Gymnocalycium, Macrosemineum, angelae, buenekeri, denudatum, fleischerianum, horstii, hyptiacanthum, mesopotamicum, netrelianum, paraguayense. INTRODUCTION The fourth part of our paper about the seeds of the genus Gymnocalycium deals with the taxa of the subgenus Macrosemineum. To establish the maps the GIS software QGIS, which is free of charge, was used (https://www.qgis.org/de/site/forusers/download.html). The background of the maps is formed by Google Inc. maps. Gymnocalycium denudatum (Link & Otto) Pfeiffer ex Mittler (1844) is the type species of the subgenus Macrosemineum. Schütziana 11(2020)1 p. 3 Schädlich & Wick – The seeds of the Genus Gymnocalycium.

Part 4: Subgenus Macrosemineum Subgenus Macrosemineum Body flat spherical to spherical, also short, column-shaped at older age, often with shoots, fibre roots. Spines ± straight or bent, flowers sprouting from the apex, funnel- or bell-shaped, often determined either male or female (dioecious). Fruits spherical or spindle-shaped, green when ripe, lacerating vertically or becoming soft. Seeds 1.0-2.0 mm in size, helmet-shaped, testa black, large hilum-micropylar area. Occurrence: Uruguay, Brazil (Rio Grande do Sul), southern Paraguay and north-eastern Argentina. Fig. 2: Map of the distribution area of the subgenus Macrosemineum.
