Abstract: Variation and deviations in reproductive morphological characters, especially in flower colour and the occurrence of single vs double flowers, in species and hybrids from which cultivars have been selected in Kalanchoe (Crassulaceae subfam. Kalanchooideae) have given rise to the establishment of a multi-million € horticultural enterprise based on, inter alia, K. blossfeldiana and hybrid material of which it is one parent. Kalanchoes are mostly made available for the trade in material grown indoors. More recently, the breeding of kalanchoes as a source of long-lasting cut flowers, as well as incorporating vegetative, not only reproductive, variation into hybrid offspring have received increasing attention. Vegetative characters of horticultural interest are mostly those of the leaves (colour, maculation, shape). Especially given the ease with which kalanchoes, including nothospecies and cultivars, respond to cultivation outdoors in places where water for irrigation is at a premium, material other than K. blossfeldiana-derived cultivars has recently seen an upsurge in popularity. In the family Crassulaceae as a whole, deviations in leaf morphology, such as surface carunculations, is best known among representatives of other crassuloid genera, including Echeveria (Crassulaceae subfam. Sempervivoideae). Such deviations, too, have given rise to the selection and description of numerous horticulturally popular cultivars, for example derived from E. gibbiflora. The development of leaf carunculations is for the first time reported from K. neglecta and K. nyikae, which are endemic to southern and East Africa, respectively. We provide a review of variable and deviating vegetative and reproductive morphologies in Kalanchoe species, nothospecies, and cultivars popular among plant breeders.

Abstract: A new record of Crassulaceae, namely plants that may belong to Umbilicus botryoides Hochst. ex A.Rich., is documented for the Angolan Flora. These plants were observed on the western edge of the Huila plateau near the town of Lubango. They extend the known distribution of Umbilicus in Africa from around 8° S in Tanzania to just about 15° S.

Abstract: Ferocactus peninsulae (A.A.Weber) Britton & Rose (Cactaceae) has great potential for commercial exploitation by the horticulture industry. It is difficult to propagate vegetatively, and we investigated novel propagation methods. The objectives were to optimize the organic supplements in nutrient medium for seed germination, synthetic seed (synseeds) production, and in vitro and ex vitro retrieval of plantlets after 12 months of cold storage. Seeds were germinated on different strengths of Murashige and Skoog's (MS) nutrient media under variable temperatures. Full strength MS medium augmented with 2.0 mg L-1 6-benzylaminopu-rine (BAP) incubated at 24°C temperature was optimum for seed germination with 98% maximum response. Synseeds were produced from the eight-week-old in vitro germinated seedlings using 2% sodium alginate and 100 mM calcium chloride solutions. These were cold stored under low temperature (- 4°C) for 12 months. The highest percentage (92%) of synseed germination and seedling growth (4.2 cm shoot with 7.1 cm root) was attained on MS medium fortified with 1.0 mg L-1 BAP after 12 wk. About 80.5% of cold stored synseeds germinated under greenhouse conditions (ex vitro) on Soilrite® with healthy shoots (3.7 cm length) and well-developed roots (4.0 cm) within 12 wk. No apparent differences were observed between in vitro and ex vitro raised seedlings. These results would reveal the short-term cold preservation of germplasm of barrel cactus, and it is also effective in in vitro and ex vitro germination. A comparative micro-morpho-anatomical study of in vitro and acclimatized seedlings of F. peninsulae was conducted to understand the xeromorphic adaptations of cacti with reference to stomata, spines and internal anatomy peculiar to the arid environments.

Abstract: Cactus seeds have unusual properties that resist protein extraction, e.g. a thick testa (seed coat) and a high amount of mucilage within the cells. This study was performed to determine which method (phenol extraction, TCA/acetone extraction, or phosphate-TCA/acetone extraction) is optimal for extracting protein from seeds of three species of Opuntia: Opuntia robusta, Opuntia phaeacantha, and Opuntia engelmannii. Extracted protein was analyzed using a Bradford assay and SDS-PAGE with silver staining. Overall results revealed that the TCA/acetone and phosphate-TCA/acetone methods were far more effective at extracting protein compared to the phenol extraction method. These protein extraction results can be applied to future studies of proteins important for Opuntia seed germination and conservation.

Abstract: The Coryphantha sneedii complex is a confusing assemblage of the following intergrading or ill-defined varieties: orcuttii, organensis, sandbergii, villardii, albicolumnaria, leei, guadalupensis, sneedii, and possibly other undescribed taxa. These varieties comprise a continuum of morphological forms, many with overlapping or proximate distributions, and with some morphological variability possibly arising from phenotypic plasticity to the point that the various variety names are not warranted. There is also debate about geographic range of varieties, e.g. is the type variety actually found in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, Big Bend National Park, and Bishop's Cap. Not only is it impossible to consistently distinguish individual plants of the different varieties of Coryphantha sneedii (Britton & Rose) A. Berger, but it is also sometimes impossible to distinguish them from the sympatric Coryphantha vivipara (Nuttall) Britton & Rose, especially from C. vivipara var. neomexicana (Engelmann) Backeberg. Coryphantha vivipara and C. sneedii are distinguishable from all other species of Coryphantha by their 0.5–1.0 mm diameter lenticular druses and usually (but not always) having green fruits/pericarpels, but these two species with overlapping distributions are not always clearly distinguishable from one another. I therefore propose subsuming the entire Coryphantha sneedii complex as a single variety of C. vivipara.
摘要/ Abstract摘要:喷嚏连科(Coryphantha打喷嚏)复合体是由以下混和或定义不清的品种组成的一个令人困惑的组合:orcutii、organensis、sandbergii、villardii、albicolumnaria、leei、guadalupensis、打喷嚏，可能还有其他未被描述的分类群。这些品种包括连续的形态形式，许多具有重叠或近似分布，并且由于表型可塑性可能引起一些形态变异，以至于各种品种名称不合理。关于品种的地理范围也存在争议，例如，类型品种实际上是在卡尔斯巴德洞穴国家公园，大本德国家公园和主教帽中发现的吗?不仅不可能始终区分不同品种的Coryphantha sneedii (Britton & Rose) A. Berger的单个植物，而且有时也不可能将它们与同域的Coryphantha vivipara (Nuttall) Britton & Rose区分开来。特别是来自C. vivipara var. neomexicana (Engelmann) Backeberg。vivipara和C.打喷嚏是区分于所有其他种类的连翘，其0.5-1.0 mm直径的透镜状突起，通常(但不总是)有绿色的果实/果皮，但这两个物种重叠分布并不总是清楚地区分彼此。因此，我建议将整个打喷嚏连翘(Coryphantha打喷嚏连翘)复合体归为vivipara的一个单一变种。

Abstract: Cylindropuntia leptocaulis cuttings produce new long-shoots from portions of cuttings that are both aboveground and belowground. New long-shoots arising aboveground appear normal, of the same size and morphology as the original cutting. New longshoots arising belowground, however, are ultra-thin (< 1mm diameter), approximately one-eighth the diameter of the already thin cuttings, have smaller redder photosynthetic leaves, and have hairs growing from their areoles, none of which have been previously reported. Long-shoots arising from belowground quickly grow wider, with normal green fleshy leaves, and non-hairy areoles after growing a few centimeters aboveground.

Abstract: The first discovery of Mediocactus hahnianus was attributed to Harry Blossfeld. Based on literature analysis, it is shown that T. Rojas and A.M. Friedrich plausibly made the discovery in the mid-1930s, and that seeds or cuttings were then given to Marsoner and eventually arrived at R. Blossfeld's nursery via H. Blossfeld. Although cultivated in Europe by Hahn, the plant is presently known only from the clone grown by J. West in the US, and obtained from Rojas in 1937. Recently, a new colony has been found and it seems to be a single clone. It perfectly fits the US clone from the point of view of morphology, flowers, growth habit, chromosome number, and seed morphology, whereas the localities are 400 km away from each other. Taxonomy and nomenclature are discussed: We decided to retain the species in Trichocereus, using a conservative concept for the genus based on morphological characters. A neotype for Mediocactus hahnianus is designated here.

Abstract: Rhipsalis rhombea is common in living collections, but the name has been used ambiguously in recent decades and has never been typified. We review the taxonomic history of this species and conclude that the name can be applied unambiguously. We therefore establish a neotype for Rhipsalis rhombea Pfeiff. and give a detailed morphological characterization of the species. In addition, we have generated plastid DNA sequences of the neotype which allowed us to establish the phylogenetic placement of R. rhombea within Rhipsalis subg. Phyllarthrorhipsalis.
