Re: Lists of books and useful pages (info and help wanted, please)
Time for 5 more... Just 90 to go
The Timber Press book is more of a book to read, than a picture ID book.
The Sansevieria book is in German, but bang up to date.
The Pelargonium book is 3 volumes of wonderful paintings, but you might need to remortgage your house to buy a copy. If you are in luck, maybe you can find it in a library.
The hybrid book is basically a picture book, no language skills needed.
The good news about the Thelocactus book is it is dual language. The bad news for many of us is that those languages are Polish and German...

Thelocactus are one of my favorites. Now all I have to do is find a copy. Google translate.print and get out the Pva.
Their is no chance of me learning german or polish. It's all I can do to remember plant based latin/greek. Mostly when I need it it's gone (who knows where). Not mentioning the prenounsiasion .
Are there any other good Thelocactus books. They are such fantastic plants with there shiney bright flowers.
Didiereaceae cactus or the old world by G Rowley
Ferocactus by Derick Bowdery/Pilbeam
There is a book on plants of socotra that's in-depth I don't remember the title now( who knows). I've got one it's more like a panflet not worth recommending.

The Cactus File Handbook on Thelocactus is nice. But probably not easy to find.
Re: Lists of books and useful pages (info and help wanted, please)
I found references to a Frerea article in Cactus File magazine but decided I couldn't bring myself to order from the website that was so amateurish it looked like a scam email.

Re: Lists of books and useful pages (info and help wanted, please)
I've just got this one through the post today
Pachypodiums in madagascar. It's good and was only 18 pounds from Keith's books
I also picked up
South african Paracitic flowering plants .
I'm going to try to post a pick for the first time no way this will work out.
