Plantings dating back to 1908 and still thriving give the garden much of its character. Their bright festive panicles of white blossoms add a cheery background and accent to the symphony of spring color in the lower Desert Garden. According to the latest authorities there are 45 yucca species and 14 varieties and they are placed in the agave family. Most of the species are found in the Southwest, northern and central Mexico and Baja California. But the genus is more widespread with species found along the Atlantic seaboard, the Great Plains, into Canada, and south as far as Guatemala. Yucca blossoms, with the exception of at least one species (the rose-tinged Yucca endlichiana) are mostly creamy white.

  • Name: Echeveris - Mixed Varieties
    Name: Echeveris - Mixed Varieties Echeveria is a large genus of succulents in the Crassulaceae family. They are native from Mexico to northwestern South America. The genus Echeveria is named after the 18th century Spanich botanist Atanasio Echeverria Codoy. Several of these species are outstanding garden plants. A large number offsets heavily and are given the common name of 'Hen and Chicks'. Most species grow in the shade and can take some frost. Hybrids tend to be less accomodating about their growing conditions. All the species are drought resistant, but they grow better with regular deep watering and fertilizing. They can be propagated with offsets, leaf cuttings, and if they are not hybrids, by seeds. Offsets is the easier way. Most species lose their lower leaves in winter. Depending on your level of humidity, these leaves are fertile ground for fungus that can then attack the plant. It is better to remove them regularly. Another consequence is that after a couple of years the plants look untidy. It is better to re-root the main rosette(s) and keep the rest of the plant for propagation. The Echeveria cactus is a rosette-forming succulent plant with foliage that comes in a variety of shapes and colors. The flowers appear on the top of stalks that grow from between the leaves The plant does not die after it has bloomed as do plants that have flowers which develop from the center growing point. Echeverias need bright light, heavy soil and excellent drainage. When grown in soilless mixes, they grow large and lush and lose their color and character.

The species lacks the scapose inflorescence characteristic of Xyridaceae and, having the gestalt of a rhizomatous bromeliad, it is seemingly aberrant in the family. However, closer examination confirms features consistent with the family and the previously noted morphological similarities to Orectanthe. Details of inflorescence structure and floral morphology are presented and compared to other genera of Xyridaceae.

At the ninth meeting of the Plants Committee (PC9; Darwin, 1999), the two species were reviewed under the Periodic Review of the Appendices, and were subsequently recommended for transfer from Appendix I to Appendix II. Dudleya stolonifera and D. traskiae were transferred to Appendix II at CoP11 (Gigiri, 2000) and CoP12 (Santiago, 2002), respectively. The species are the only Dudleya species listed in the CITES Appendices. * The geographical designations employed in this document do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the CITES Secretariat or the United Nations Environment Programme concerning the legal status of any country, territory, or area, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries.

Racemose or Indefinite or Indeterminate Type of Inflorescence: • The arrangement in which the youngest flower is present near the apex and older towards the base, i.e., in acropetal succession • the growing point does not stop the growth and forms continuously the lateral flowers. • Raceme: • When peduncle bears many pedicellate flowers in an acropetal manner, e.g., Delphinium ajacis, Veronica, etc. • Spike: • A raceme with sessile flowers, e.g., Adhatoda vasica, Callistemon, etc. • Spikelet: • Small spikes arranged in a spike, raceme or panicle manner. Each flower consists of an awned bract, three stamens and an ovary with two feathery stigmas, e.g., Triticum. • Panicle: • Branched raceme, e.g., Delonix regia. • Catkin: • Pendant spike with unisexual flowers, e.g., Morus alba, Salix, etc. • Spadix • Spike with a fleshy axis, enclosed by one or more large bracts called spathes, e.g., Musa, Pistia, etc. • Corymb: • Raceme, in which all the flowers reach the same level due to more elongation of the pedicel of older flowers, e.g., Iberis amara. • 8. Umbel: • When pedicellate flowers arise from a common point as in members of Umbelliferae or Apiaceae. • Capitulum or Head: • When numerous, small, sessile flowers are aggregated to form a dense inflorescence as in members of Compositae or Asteraceae. • Cymose or Definite or Determinate Type of Inflorescence: • When the apical growth of the floral axis is checked by the formation of a flower, it is called cymose inflorescence. Flowers are arranged in basipetalous manner, i.e., the terminal flower is oldest and young flowers are present on lower side.
