SUCCULENTS

- THE ILLUSTRATED DICTIONARY -


Succuient.oJ:, with their huge diversity of forms
and habits, are one of me most fasdnating - lUI
well as one oflhe lar gest - plant groups (ound
growing wild throughout the world. Many of tho
genera - Agave, Hawarlhia, Kolunchoe and
Yucca , for example - include some of the best
known and most often cultivated houseplanL8.
Other specie8, howcver, are exotic:: and rore,
some seldom seen in cultivation, others now
rarely seen in the ....ild.
Neve r before has there been a single work of
reference in which examples of so wide a range
of genera have been described and illustrated in
colour. Succulents: The Illustrated Dictionory.
the companion volume to Cacti: The lIlulltrated
Dictinmlry, includes morc than 1,200
photogrnphsofspcciesand varicticsfrom 195
difTerent genera, and t herefore itconstitutcs 8
unique work of reference for succulent
enthusiast8 and CQllectors.
For case of use, the dictionary is organh:ed
alphabe~ically by ~pe<:ies. Each cntry indudcs a
full de&<:ript ion of the ~pecies as well as ~he place
of origin . Commonly used alternative names are
given, and these are also listed separately for
oonvenientcross-rcferenoo. In addition, the
introduc~io n summarizcs the charllcteriatica of
lhefamiHcH and genera.
A special feature of the text is the indusion of
the CITES (Convention on International Trade
in Endangered Spccics) status for all those
species that are indudcd in the Convention's
Appendix I and Appendix II of protected pla nts.
There is also a de&<:ription o[ the way in which
CITES is organbed to monitor the ~rade in
collectnblc spccies, as well as a summaryo[the

With such a wealth of information, Succulent.s :
The Illustrated Dictionary is assured of a place
among the standard ....orks of rc ference of all

F OR E WOHD
The decision 10 write this dictionary was prompted by Cacti: The Illustrated
DicliOl/Qry by Rod and Ken Prcston-Mafham, which so successfuUy mel II need
among C"dctus enthusiasts. Succulents other than cacti are described and illustrat-
ed in St.>vcrai monographic ~tudi\.'S dealing with a single genus or a specific goo-
graph ic,,1 ~ion, but there is no single book with a Jarge number of colour
illustrations co~'ering a wide rllngc of genera. It is hOpl-d that Ims dictionary w ill
go some \V<ly towards filling this gap, helping collectors to identi fy their plants
and cl1 cou raging ncwcumcrs to scloo interesting species to study (lnd g row.
We would tikI' to e mphasb:c that we do not pretend to have found a solu tion
10 the chaos afflicting the dassifi(alion of succulent pla nts - rather, we are curn-
pletely involved in th.1.t chaos. The classification of both succulcnts and cacti is
affecled by several factors thai lcad to frequent change> and 10 the CT{'alion of
very small genera and new species. The main problem is probably t~ horticul-
tural value o f new species. Nurserymen often offcr unidentified specimens as sp.
11000 to stimulnte the potential (u ll(.'(;tor's interesl. If a plant is described and pub-
lish .... d as a new species in nccordnncc with the rok'S of the International Code of
Botanical Nomcndature but without the plant's variability in habitat having
bcocn verified, a new species could be established, which, although va lid in
formaltCTms, has no biological mcaning
It is essential that a group of Clfpcrts attempt toddine a system that will bring
som .... s tability to the naming of succulent p\;mts and will CUI the pk'lhora of
generic nnd specific names that a(f1ict~ this group of plants. The International
Organization for Succulent !'llmts Stud y (lOS) is aiming to complete a proje<:1
tha t will find a consensus among cactus experts on the naming of the Caclaceae.
It is to be hoped that the [OS will be able to carry out a similar proje<:t for succu-
Icnts.
In this dictiona ry WI' h,wc used Ihe names currently found in private and
public collC(;tions. Including available rcvisions would have resultlld in a partial
work with no cohcrent criteria that would confuse the average collector. Somc

INTRODUCTION
Sucrulcnts i1T(' defined ilS plants thai are able to withstand drought bcc.luse of
the water stored in some of their orgrms. They constit ute a widespre"d group,
~ing represented in severil! filmilies of flowering plants and, to some extent, in
the Gymnosperms as well. The definition is somewhat problematic OC'CilUse
several plants, although not true succulents, ilTC included among th eir number
for aesthetic reasons. The most precise scientifi c definition is given in Lift!
Strategies of SIICCU/ClIls ill Deserts by D.). von Willert, B.M. Eller, M.J.A. Werger, E,
Brinckm.lnn and H.D. Ihlenfeldt:
A succulent (or sUCCQphyte) is a plant po~ing al least one succulent
tissue. A succulent tissue is a living tissue that, besides possible other
tasks, serves and guaran tees an at least tcmpori'lry storage of utilizable
water, which makes the plant temporarily independent of an e)(ternal
water s upply when soil water conditions have so deteriorated thai the
rool is no longer able to provide the ncccsS<lry water from soil.
This definition implies that succulence may be present in one or more plant
organs. The specializa tion of an organ is determined by the particular sek>ctive
prCS/iurein the spccics' habital.
Leaf succulence occurs in several familil'S, and it is usually associated with
e nvironments that do not have a long dry SCilson. When the dry scason is very
long the succulent leaves arc highly specinlized. Litho/IS is, perhaps, the best
example: the stem is absent and the leaVe!; grow hidden in the soil, thus reducing
water loss.
Stem succulence, which is seen in the cactus family, is also familiar to succu-
lent enthusiasts. Succulen t stems have leaves that are reduct.>d in size or arc
caducous when well develo]X>d, ,!lId photosyntht.'Sis is performed by the grCCll
s tems. Stem succulents may inhabit more arid environments, but the critical
point is their sire: gig.lIllic spcctes need regular water to s upport growth, and in
very dry environments stems are reduced in size.
In root succulence the organ of reserve is subterra nean, which is thus protect-
ed from the stresses of wind and predation. Root succulence is often associated
with annual stems, which desiccate during the dry ~ason
In addition to thesc visible characteristics, succulents have severa Ilcssevidenl
features that give them strong selective advantages in arid habitats. The number
and size of the stomata (the holes that allow air to enter leaves and leaves to
cilpture carbon dioxide) are usually reduced. Not only docs this reduce water
loss but it also reduces the amount of cMbon dioxide taken in. Moreover, the
opening of stomat" during the day, in the presence of st rong sunlight and dry
air, would lead to the evaporation of water without a compens.1 tory intake of
wilter in the form of rain. A p<1rticular type of photosyn thesis, Cr.,ssulilcean Acid
Metabolism (CAM), has evolved in several families. [n CAM the stomata of
plants open at night, when the temperature is lower and the humidity of the air
is higher. These plants s tore ca rbon dioxide, using o rgilnic ncids - nilmely malic
acid - during the night when the stomata are open. Carbon dioxide is released
during the day when Ihe stomata are dosed but light is available for photosyn-
thesis to transform the carbon dioxide into sugars. CAM is not only efficient in
the economic use of water but is also highly effective in (apturing (arbon dioxide
from the air. CAM phOhJSynthesis evolvoo independently in several families,
and it is also present in some ;1qUJtiC plMltS, when thesclective advJntage arises
from the effiden(y of (apluringcarbon dioxide that is not abundant in water.
tn arid habitats suc(Ulent phmts may be the only SOUT(e of food for wild
animals. Several features have been cvolvt.>d to rope with this predation, the
most common being the presen(e of spines, whi(h make the pl,mts less appetiz-
ing, and mimicry, which makes them difficult to see against the soil. Another
defence against predators is the prcscn(e of toxic or repellent chemicills - on(C
Ihe predator hilS tilsled the plilnt il will not try to cat J similar specimen
The different adaptive characleristi(s are present in various groups of plants
Often spt.ocit.'S that Me distant in geographic or phylogeni( terms may look
si milar. The most striking example of this is probably the (olumnar or globulilr
euphorbia and cacti. The volume 10 surfil cc ratio is (Titical from the point of view
of storing water, and it is ~ible to identify a trend in stem shape, from the
cylindrical to the illmost spherical, th"t is the ideal for the volume to surf;1(C
ratio. These plants mily hilve very si milar sh"pes even though they are native to
differen t (onlinents and h.we different ancestors. The resemblan(e is caused by
the s.lme selective pn.'ssurc that (auSt.'S (onvergent evolution.

The problems of nillure (OnServation are widely ilpprcciated. Those who are con-
sidering growing, collecting and studying succulent plants must be "ware of the
impact that they can have on the wild populations of the plants they wish to
study. Most succulents grow in habitats that have a fragile coologi(al l'quilibri-
um, and the environmental conditions often lead to slow r.,tes of growth and
low reprodU(tive rates. For example, only 0.1 per cenl of the seeds produced by
WI'/wilscilin mimbilis will raise a new specimen, even in favourable conditions. In
the plant's habitat. the Namib Desert, filvourable mnditions may not ocrur for
several years, "s rain is very rare. If mature plants were to be removed, the
reprodu(tion rate of the species would fall below a sustainable level. Similar oon-
ditionsapplytoscveralotherspt.>c!<.'S.
In some instances the demand from mllcctors h~s meilnt that the limit in sus-
tainable collecting of wild spcdes has been reached. In response to this, in 1973
more than one hundred nations signed the Convention on International Trade in
Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and ROTa (CITES). Some mllectors regilTd the
CITES convention as a disaster. It must be borne in mind, however, that CITES
dOL'S not prohibit the trade in plants and animals; it merely reguliltt.'S and moni-
tors international trade in endangerL>d spt.ocies with the aim of preserving them in
theirh"bitats.
TIlt!re are three Appendi(es in which specit.'S endangered by tr"de are listoo:
• Appendix [ includes species that are threatenlod with extinction. The trade in
lmy wild pllmt or animal con taintod in this Appendix is forbiddclI.
• Appendix !I includes species that are not necessarily threatened with extin(-
tion but that may become so unless trade is strictly rL'gulatoo, and the trade in
wild plants and animals is, therefore, subject to the issue of an export licence
• Appendix !II includes those species in which the regulation in trade is within
thejurisdiclion of the nation (On(erned

to check with local rl1,'Ulations to avoid any problems. A useful reference is nrc
EVIJ/,,/iOlI ajCrrES by W. Wijnstekcrs.
It is important to rem ember that even species that arc not listed in CITES m~y
be protco::tcd by local Icgisl~tion. If you are going 10 coiled any wild plant, first
check the local regulations and ask for an official permit.
Collectors Ciln plilY an important role in conservation. The management of
well-documented collections can help in conserving the genetic diversity of
endangered species, and propagation helps to relieve the pressure on wild
plants. Collectors should, however, always be aware of the damage c,lused by
illegal colh..'"cting. and they should never buy wild-collected plants of endangered
species, even with the aim of saving the specimen. The aim must always be to
s.we Ihe species not the indil·idual.

The colour photographs werc t.:lken in a number of public and private collections
and comrnerdi11 nurseries or in the habitat. The colour and shape of individual
plants depend on their geograph ical position and the type of greenhouse or
glasshouse in which they are grown and on the attention they receive from the
grower. Plants also vary according 10 the time of year. During resting periods
they may shrink, hilve fewcr leaves or aClluire a reddish tinge. Plants grown in
sunny positions and plants that receive little water may also have .1 reddish
tinge, while those grown in shndc and thnt receive plenty of waler are greener.
For these r(,.:Isons the co100r and fonn of the plants illustrated may vary slightly
from the descriptions of the type species.

CONVENTION ON
INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN
ENDANGERED SPECIES
C ITES Secre ta rial, PO Box 456, 1219 Chatelai ne, Ge neva, Swilz(!rl.md

Habitat clt'Struction is thl! major cause of the dt!Cline in wildlife populations, but
the second most important thr<'ilt is the exploi tation uf plants ilnd animals (and
their products) of wild origin. [t is when this exploit.llion leads to intcrn<ltion,ll
trade that C ITES, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species
of Wild Filuna and Flora, plays an important role.
CITES contributes to nature conservation by regulating the intcrniltional tTilde
through a system of permits and controls, which are issued and implemented by
the exporting and importing (l)UntriL'S. In July 1993 120 countries were party to
CITES. The word 'trade' refers to all intcmntional movements of specimens of
species listed in its AppendiCes, and it includes plants carried by tourists, large
commercial consignments and material for scientific purposes. However, there
arc certain exemptions for registered scientific institutions. Through this control
system, alll'arties assist in k.....ping Tare and threatened wildlife where it belongs
-in nature reserves and in ilsnatural habitat.
The CiTES controt system also permits trade in specimens from the wild up to
a levellhat is not detrimental to thesurvivill of the species in the wild. The inter-
national trade in animals and plants of wild origin involves a large number of
spt..'Cimens and has great value. The number of wild plants traded internationally
increased gre,ltly after the Second World War when people travelled more freely
and to more distant countries. In addition, the incTe,lsed usc of central heating
alluw~ more and mure pt:'llple 10 keep specimens from tropical regiOns.

II OW DOES CITES WO n K!'


The purpose of CITES can perhaps best be illustrated by quuling fmm the pre-
amble to the Convention.
• Rt.>COgni:.:ing that wild fauna and flora in their many beautiful and varied
forms are an irreplaceable part of the naturill systems uf the earth, which
must be protccted for this illld fur the generations to come;
• Conscious of the evcr-growing value of wild fauna and flora from aL'Sthetic,
scientific, cultural, recreational a nd ccunomic points of view;
• Rl'Cognizing that peoples and states are, and should be, the best protectors of
their own wild fauna and flora

Through CITES, sustainilble trilde in spe.::imens of certilin spe.::ies is regulilted,


recognizing ilt the S<lmc time that countrit.'S have a right to exploit their naturill
resourccs or not to permit such exploitation should they so decide. The degree of
protection afforded to a species by the Convention depends on the Appendix in
which it is listed.
CITES
• Appendix I includes all those sJX>Cies of which trade in spt.'Cimens of wild
origin is jX'nnitted only in exceptional circumst;l1lce$
• Appendix II contains those spt!Cies of which commercial or private trade in
wild sJX>Cimens is permitted as long as it is regulated to ensure that it is sus-
tainable
• Appendix 111 contains the speck'S for which one country has asked other
C[TES sign.ltorics for ao;sistance in their protection.

The inclusion of species in Appendices! ,md II requires a two-thirds majority


dl'Cision of the oountril'S that are party to CITES. The listing in ApJX'ndix III can
be done by an individual country. No cacti or other succulents are listed in
Appendix 111; all cacti Jre included in Appendix I or [I.

WILO - CI{OW\' SI'ECI.\IENS


The regulntion of tradl.' in the species concerned is provided by a system of
permits. Importation for commercial purposes of specimens of species listed in
Appendix [ of wild origin is not allowed. Trade that is not commercial- for sci-
entific purposes, for example - rt.'<juircs that the country of importation issu('S an
import permit before an export permit may be issued by the exportin g country.
Commercial trade in specimens of species listed in Appendix II of wild origin
b allow(>d on the condition that an export permit is issued by the country of
export. [n the case of rL'-export of specimens that have beo:'n imported from
another country, a re--cxport certificate may be issu(>d once it has been provt.>U
that the specimens were legally imported.
These are the basic re<Juirements as incloded in the text of the Convention.
However, e<lch country may take stricter measures if it wishes. For example,
some countries - Pem, BrJ7.ilnnd Mexico - hnve decided not to Jllow the export
of any wild pl<lnts from their territories. This means that they do not issue export
pt'rmits for wild-coJlecti!d plants. l:ly t<lking this me<lsure they ensure that, if
plant., arc taken illegally, Ihey may nol be imported legally inlo another country.
The EuropeJn Community requires thJt nn import permit or certificate be issued
for any importation of CITES specimens into the territory of ils member st,ltes.

AHT IFI CIALLY PBOI'I\GATED PI ,ANTS


A less strict regime applies to artificially propagated plants. If these plants nrc of
species listed in Appendix I they are treated as if they were in Appendix II, so
that only an export licence is rt'quircd. Although an import licence is not
required under CITES, some countries may still demand it as a consequence of
stricterml'<lSures.
Artificially propagated plants of species listed in Appendix Jl are subject to a
number of exemptions from CITES controls. Raska! seedlings, cut flowers,
S('('(\s <lnd po11en are not covered by the Convention. They may <llso be trad("Ci
with a certificate of artificial propagation. A number of Europenn countries usc
the phytosanitary certificate for this purpose.

The above is n brief summary of the work of CITF..5. The Convention is imple-
mented in Illany other ways, and interested readers are di rected to Tile Evolllliml

CODE OF CONDUCT
Sara Oldfield

This Code was first published in 1990 in volume 10 (supp lement to no. 4) of
Pillute GraSSI', the journal of the Ita!i(ln Cactus nnd Succulent Society. and it h,'5
since been printed in severn! specialist journals. It is reprinted with kind permis-
sion of the author, 5.1ra Old field. The original edition of the Code contains much
useful information that, for reasons of space, CaIUlO\ be included here. Copies of
the fuJI Code may be oblainl.>d. from Sara Oldfield or from the lOS or the AlAS

TO Til E COLLECTOH I~' TilE FIELD


Before youcolil.·ctanything;
• DO acquaint yourself with CITES and nalional and stale controls, and find
OU! which species are protected
• 00 obtain all ne<:cssa ry pcnnits, both for collecting and for export and
importtoothercounlries.
• DO notify in tcrcsted IOC.ll org~nizationsofyourintentions.
Then:
• 00 strictly observe restrictions on what may be collected (which speciL'S, how
milny specimens, what kind of material). Where possible. culll'Ct seeds, offsets
ur cuttings, nut the whule plant.
• DO leave mature plants for ~ production. They are nt.'eliL>d to perpetuate
the wild populatiun, and are unlikely to transplant successfully.
• DO collect discreetly; do not lead local people to believe that the plants are
valuable or encourage or pay them (or their ch ildren) to collL>ct for you
• DO make careful field notes, including precise locality, altitude. type of vege-
tation and soil, da te of collection and your own field number. Try to assess
the number of individuals and extent of the populatiun, the amuunt uf seed
settingandthefrequt.'flcyofseed1ings.
• DO note possible threats to the habitat - e.g., through graling, drainage or
cultivation, urban spread ur road widening.
• DO take photographs and/or preserve representative lu::rbarium material.
Submit tlus material, with a copy of your notes, to an appmpriiltc ins titution
ororganilation.
• DO NOT underrate the value of your field observations: carefully rt.'COrded
they will be a usefu! contribution to science and to conservation.

230
if;
• you plan to colle<:t in commercial quantitit'S, don't.
• you plan to sell any of the plant~ you collect to defray the cost of your trip,
don'l.
• you plan to collect for r~arch or study, obtain the agreement (and prefer-
ably thc collabor.ltion) of competent scientific authoritit'S, ~uch as a govern-
ment agency or university dep.1rtment, in the host country.
• you think 'two or three plants won', be mis.wd', rcmember someone else may
be thinking the Silme tomorrow, and the next day, and the next ...

TO T il E 1l' II' OHTEn. I'BI VtHE on C:O I\ l ,\ l i-:UC IAL


• OON'T import wild plants, even if It>gillly permitted, except as iI nucleus for
prop.lg<'ltion ,lnd seed-production.
Then:
• DO check the credentials of suppliers offering wild plants and satisfy yourself
IhattheYiIT~'k-gal'.

• DO observe international and n<ltional export/import rcguhltions.

• 00 sell nursery-raised or prop.lgated ma terial only; do nut advertise ur sell


un-prop.lgated wild plants under any circumst.lnccs, even when legally per-
millcdlodoso.
• 00 try to propagate all rare or documented ma terial and distribute it to TCC-
ogni7oo lOS Reference Collections.
• 00 keep more than one done of rate species, even self-fertile ones, for seed
production.
• 00 kl'Cp careful re<:ords of the origin of all stock, especially any wild culkoc-
tors' number or locality data, and pass on the information to interested pur-
chasers.

TO TilE C IWWEU OU COtLECTO H AT 1I 0 !\1E


• 00 make successful cultivati on your prime objective, not the size of your col-
It'Ction or the rarityofi he plants.
• 00 NOT buy any plant unless you arc surc it was nursery grown; remember
that your choice will influence the seller's market.
• 00 not buy wild-collected plants, even if with the ilim of Silving the 'individ-
ual'. We want to save Ihe species, not the specimen. Only when importers see
their wild-collccted plants rotting because nobody buys them will they stop
the import.llion of wild-collected plimts.
• 00 enjoy the S.1lisfaction of raising (rom s~. Some o( the rate or 'difficult'
species will t(OSt your skill and patience, but reward your success accordingly!
• 00 record when and from whom you got your plants or seeds and ask your
source for any dat.1; colle<:tors' numbers. locality, and so on. All these are just
asvitaltotheseriousenthusjastasthenameoflhel~bc1.

231
• 00 try to propagate r.lre and documented material and distribute it to other
l'llthusiasts. Remember the proverb: To keep iI plant, give it away!

TO T III~ SOC IET Y Ar-..D CL UB


• 00 endorse the pn:<:cpts of this Code as a guide for responsible a.nd COlooen-
tiousbchaviour.
• 00 NOT permit wild plants to be advertised for sale in your publications,
eithL'I" openly or by hints.
• DO publicile nationa.l and international regulations on the export, im"ort~­
tion ilnd sale of wild plilnt~.
• DO sponsor or support national and international measures 10 protect the
habitats of rare and threatenoo species.
• 00 infonn th(' competent authorities of any suspt.'Ct sale of collt.'Ctlod plants. If
you know of people tra\·elling to countries when! 5uccul('nts grow wild with
the intention to collt'(:ting. inform the competent authorities; the best way to
stop habitat exploitation by collectors is to catch th\'"m at the port of ~mtry
with the plants in theirho1Ods.

TO T il E 5 11 0 W COJ\ l j\ IITTEE A\I) JUI) (: r s


• 00 include in the schlodule some classes for plants raised from seed by the
exhibitor.
• 00 NOT )Jl'Tmit spedes prolecloo by CITES Appendix I to be shown in com-
petitive classes, except lIS bl't.odlings or other artifical1y raised propagations.
• 00 make a policy of giving preferenre to well-grown seedlings over field-
