Re: Chairman candidate hustings
Hi Terri On the contrary. The journal team realised that by the time journals arrived overseas (given the poor postal services we are all experiencing these days) and the ballot paper was returned, that it would possibly not get to back in time. Hence offering overseas members the chance to email th...

Mammillaria Society
As some of you might be (or have been) members of the Mammillaria Society, I wanted to tell you about a change. Previously the February journal was sent out to all members on file, even if they had not renewed. Because of postage rises and other cost implications this will not be done any longer, so...

Bill Keen - RIP
I have been informed that Bill Keen passed away two days ago. Bill was a long time member of both the NCSS & BCSS. He was Editor of the NCSS Journal (1976-1982) and the BCSS Journal (1983-1991). Bill was Vice-Chairman of the BCSS (1998-2003) and President in 2004.
Condolences to his family.

Re: Paypal not working at the moment?
As treasurer of the Mammillaria society I’ve just received a PayPal payment a few minutes ago, and one earlier in the day too, so it seems to be working ok.

Re: Updated seed lists
I received mine today and I know of a number of others who also had theirs today. The were all posted out on Monday at exactly the same time so now it’s up to your local sorting office! Has anyone got their BCSS journal and seed list today? I believe it usually arrives the 2nd Wednesday in December.

Re: New pachypodium or mis labelled
Possibly a misspelling of ‘Fiherense’ which is a form of P. lamerei. Presumably found near Ferena, Vondrozo, Madagascar. I would guess that someone named it in their collection and have now sold or given a few away. Unless it was published in an offline journal and nobody has ever referred to it onl...
