Sansevierias and other pics


Hi!

Please see Photo section, Sansevieria, for the three I recently got.

See albums Calibanus (Doug Rowland about C. hookeri: "The most 
untidiest plant on earth") and Hesperaloe for some other pics.

In Unknown I have put a pic of Ornithogalum; it is off topic, but so 
much alike the others. Can be removed of course.

Feel free to use these pics, and if you wish to have a copyright line 
use "Copyright Maarten van Thiel, Tolbert, Netherlands, 2002".
(I do realise though that it is poor quality...

Nice sunday,

Maarten

Irish Book/Agave multifilifera


Hi All and especially the Irishes.  I just received my copy of their book 
(via mail order source) and I am very impressed with it.  Well done I say!  
I do have one question already though.  The photo of Agave multifilifera 
(Plate 24), is that really multifilifera?  Or did it get mixed up and is 
really Yucca glauca, or such?  The reason I ask is that I saw a pretty good 
sized multifilifera at Greg Starr's and it did not have anything like the 
semblance of a trunk.  Since agaves are monocarpic I am surprised that 
multifilifera would reach this size (the size of the plant on Plate 24) and 
not have already flowered.  Puzzlement indeed.  Help Mary and Gary!

specie--fingernails on chalkboard!


Dear Michael, at the risk of being pedantic, I would like to point out that 
the word "specie" is not the correct word for a singular taxon.  Species is 
correct for both singular and plural.  The word "specie" refers to currency. 
  FWIW, BB

photo from Portugal


Michael,

I have no idea about the identification of your plant; I'm a rank beginner. I have traveled to Portugal
several times. Was this plant in the Botanical Garden  in Lisbon? There were so many big beautiful plants
there. Unfortunately each time I've gone there the greenhouses have been closed. Have I missed the cactus
and succulent plants... or were they not there? I'd like to go again sometime.

Sansevieria


Hi!

Was sailing a week, went to the isle of Texel to see the flowering 
Agave parrasana again (now just seed pods; look like bananas) and 
returned from that visit with cuttings of Sansevieria volkensii, 
aethiopica and spec Bally 12681.

Anyone familiar with these plants? Very beautifull. I might have one 
or two cuttings of the last two sp (volk. being just two big leaves) 
in some months; I mean: could take them off already but I prefer to 
let the things root well first.

Volk. is as said a big long thing and the two others a kind of heap 
of very tought and well end spined plants. I had them in a plastic 
bag hanging from my bag when returning from sea, spines sticking out 
at all sides. With that I had to get in and out of completely 
overcrowded trains and busses. Never had so much rows on a single 
day...

Nice sunday,

Maarten
