Hi All,

Xerophilia  no. 10 (Vol. 3, No. 3 – October 2014) is online and ready for you to download from http://www.xerophilia.ro !

From the summary:

Pedro Nájera Quezada - Carnivorous xeric flora in San Luis Potosí, México

Aldo Delladio - A three weeks trip in Mexico (Part 1)

Piet van der Meer, Daniel Guillot Ortiz, Charles Puche  & Pedro Nájera Quezada - Iconography of Agave univittata Haw. and Agave lechuguilla Torr. (Agavaceae)

Francisco Moreno - Agave potatorum and other xerophytes in Tepanco de López, Puebla

Erik Holm - A Dane visiting Romania - a story about friendship and cacti
A new fantastic plant: Mammillaria bertholdii Linzen spec. nova (includes an interview with Thomas Linzen)

Stefan Nitzschke - Mammillaria theresae Cutak and Mammillaria deherdtiana Farwig (On the history of cv. albiflora)

Andrea Cattabriga - Festa del Cactus 2014

Judd Kirkel Welwitch - Touring some Lithops in the wild

Jennifer Pannell - When succulents attack! (A peninsula under threat)

Leo Rodríguez - Some of my recent fine art works

… and more!

As a new feature the e-zine has three layers of text – English, Romanian and Original (the original language the article was written in) – that can be switched from the buttons (en – ro – or) at the bottom  of every page. Not only bilingual, but a multi-lingual publication at a click of the mouse!

We apologize for the delay – more than one month – but the implementation of this new feature and unfortunate changes to our summary have contributed to this delay. We hope to be online with our 11th regular issue in mid to late December, as planned.

Enjoy!

Eduart, on behalf of the Xerophilia Team.

Hi All,

Our third Special Issue Epiphytic myrmecophytes of southern Asia and the southwest Pacific by the New Zealander Derrick J. Rowe will be online Friday, the 17th of January: 64 pages, 145 illustrations, presenting myrmecophytes from Fiji, Australia and several regions and islands of Papua New-Guinea. Prepare yourselves for an informative and pictorial delight! Probably the most extensive paper on myrmecophytes ever published in a "free knowledge sharing" journal!

Nothing on Crassulaceae of course, but I think that plant lovers (and especially the ones loving the weirdest forms in the vegetable world) will be interested. I make this announcement a bit in advance as I will be probably travelling by the time this will be online.

Cheers,
Eduart

Thank you both!

Merci Tom!

C'est tout simplement incroyable! Puis-je utiliser cette photo ou un quiz? Qui doit être crédité pour la photo?

Cheers,
Eduart
