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
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. -

Cabildo Insular de Gran Canaria RESUMEN Son estudiadas las diferentes razas de cromosomas incluidas en Aichryson pachy- caulon y se tiene en cuenta la variación inter-isla en e! tamaño de las flores y carácter de las hojas. Se propone que estas razas deberían ser reconocidas como subespecies. Se considera su posible origen. SUMMARY The various ohromosome races included in Aichryson pachycaulon are studied, ac- count is taken of interialand variation in flower-size and leaf-oharacters and it is proposed that these races sbould be recognized as subspecies, consideration is given to their possible origin.

Crassulaceae) ís a small Maca- ronesian/North African genus of about 12 species allied to Aeo- nium in the subfamily Sempervivoideae (Bramwell, 1969) bul which bridges, to some extent the gap between the Sempervivum group and Sedum (Crassulaceae-Sedoideae). Within Aichryson two chromosome base-numbers are known, x^l5 in the majority of species and x=17 in A. punctatum (Chr. 105 D. BRAMWELL Sm.) Webb & Berth. Uhl (1961) also reports n=32 (x=16) from some forms of A. pachycaulon Bolle from the islands of La Palma and Tenerife. A. pachycaulon is a robust local species of wet places in the Canary Islands and has been reportad from Fuerteventura, Tene rife, La Palma and, recently, Gran Canaria. -

Nat. Croat. Vol. 27, No. 2, 407- 420*, 2018, Zagreb. In this paper, the plant lists of glasshouse succulents grown in the Botanical Garden from 1895 to 2017 are studied. Synonymy, nomenclature and origin of plant material were sorted. The lists of species grown in the last 122 years are constructed in such a way as to show that throughout that period at least 1423 taxa of succulent plants from 254 genera and 17 families inhabited the Garden’s cold glass- house collection.
