Re: 2nd Chinese International Cactus and Succulent Conference
A website of the conference is here: https://www.23h8.com/25182.html. Many interesting presentations, including the one by Ralph Martin on the Latin names of cacti and succulents. For those of you who can't wait to hear and see Ralph's really well elaborated and easy to understand talk at one of your local BCSS branch meetings: here is a picture of the speaker at the 2nd Chinese International Cactus and Succulent Conference. And a video of the first day of the conference, including the plant exhibition and a visit of the Longhai C&S Botanical Garden, can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0pKMqcuyxw

Re: 2nd Chinese International Cactus and Succulent Conference
Thanks, Detlev, and also thanks for bringing me up to date on a few of the finer points!
Detlev's talk on Cactus seeds in colour was fascinating...

Re: 2nd Chinese International Cactus and Succulent Conference
Thank you Detlev! Now I want to read the "Naked thistle and spider cactus - The genus Gymnocalycium", what a fitting title!

Re: 2nd Chinese International Cactus and Succulent Conference
That is just a translation of the German title "Nacktdistel und Spinnenkaktus - Die Gattung Gymnocalycium", using two German vernacular names. Mittler, when publishing the genus name Gymnocalycium (with the spelling Gymnocalicium) in 1844, introduced the German name "Nacktdistel". The German name "Spinnenkaktus" for Gymnocalycium denudatum was already mentioned by Schumann (1898) as ‘generally known’.

Re: 2nd Chinese International Cactus and Succulent Conference
That's certainly an interesting detail, thank you for sharing. I suspected there might be some details "lost in translation", or perhaps left to the creative imagination of the translators.Detlev wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 11:22 amThat is just a translation of the German title "Nacktdistel und Spinnenkaktus - Die Gattung Gymnocalycium", using two German vernacular names.

I found time to watch it whilst eating lunch, now to go back outside to tend the plants and cut the grass!
