Gasteria glauca ES1366 field number
Posted: Wed Oct 06, 2021 1:24 pm
I have recently purchased a Gasteria glauca ES1366 and am trying to track its origin. I know it came from Kakteen Haage, https://www.kakteen-haage.de/en/plants/ ... S1366.html, but I am more interested in the ES collection number.
I have found a mention of this Gasteria on a Polish forum (the very top of https://forumogrodnicze.info/viewtopic. ... &start=561), and suggested was it is a typo of Ernst Speck's collection number. After a bit more digging, http://www.cl-cactus.com/collector.asp?Acronym=ES notes that "ES and SPECKS are catalogue numbers only for the Exotica nursery. MES is used for field collected material.", so this could originally came from Specks' nursery (which seems to be confirmed by viewtopic.php?f=84&t=167505&p=272012&hi ... ca#p272012).
Unfortunately http://www.specks-exotica.com is dead and https://thesucculentist.com/en/ states it closed in 2016, and https://web.archive.org/web/2014*/http: ... asteria/01 did not track the page.
Does anyone happen to have Specks' ES numbers list at hand?
