Tulista Minor
''Tulista minima'' is a species of succulent plant, from the far south of the Western Cape, South Africa. It was formerly classed in the genus ''Haworthia'', as ''Haworthia minima''. However this was not the correct name, as the name ''Haworthia minor'' in fact had priority. When the species was transferred to the new genus ''Tulista'', a combination was first published for ''Tulista minima'', which was likewise invalid. A new combination was therefore needed for ''Tulista minor'', which was accordingly published in 2018. Description It is a small evergreen succulent plant, with hard, fleshy blue-green leaves that are covered in white tubercles. It offsets readily and can form clumps. It produces white flowers with pink tips in the summer (November to December). It is a variable species, with different populations differing in the leaf shape, colour, growth form and tubercles. Popular varieties include ''T. minima'' var. ''poellnitziana'', as well as the ''opalina'' and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Western Cape
The Western Cape is a province of South Africa, situated on the south-western coast of the country. It is the fourth largest of the nine provinces with an area of , and the third most populous, with an estimated 7 million inhabitants in 2020. About two-thirds of these inhabitants live in the metropolitan area of Cape Town, which is also the provincial capital. The Western Cape was created in 1994 from part of the former Cape Province. The two largest cities are Cape Town and George. Geography The Western Cape Province is roughly L-shaped, extending north and east from the Cape of Good Hope, in the southwestern corner of South Africa. It stretches about northwards along the Atlantic coast and about eastwards along the South African south coast (Southern Indian Ocean).

Haworthia
''Haworthia'' is a large genus of small succulent plants endemic to Southern Africa (Mozambique, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini and South Africa). Like the aloes, they are members of the subfamily Asphodeloideae and they generally resemble miniature aloes, except in their flowers, which are distinctive in appearance. They are popular garden and container plants. Description and characteristics ''Haworthias'' are small succulent plants, forming rosettes of leaves from to exceptionally in diameter, depending on the species. These rosettes are usually stemless but in some species stems reach up to . The inflorescences of some species may exceed in height. The plants can grow solitary or can be clump-forming. Many species have firm, tough, fleshy leaves, usually dark green in colour, whereas others are softer and contain leaf windows with translucent panels through which sunlight can reach internal photosynthetic tissues. Their flowers are small, and generally white. Though ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tulista - Haworthia Minima In Cultivation 2
''Tulista'' is a small genus of succulent plants endemic to South Africa. They were formerly included within the genus '' Haworthia''. Characteristics The genus is characterised by a large size (relative to other haworthias), by their stemless rosette growth form, by the yellow exudate in their non-fibrous leaves, and by their distinctive flowers with robust peduncles. Taxonomy The genus '' Haworthia'' was long considered problematic, and suspected of being polyphyletic. It was accordingly divided into three different subgenera: ''Haworthia'' (the soft, green, leafy, and often retuse species); ''Hexangulares'' (the harder, often tubercled species); ''Robustipedunculares'' (the four largest, most robust species). Several phylogenetic studies have confirmed this division, and shown that '' Haworthia'' actually comprises three clades that are only distantly related. Based on phylogenetic evidence, in 2013, Gordon Rowley revived the genus ''Tulista'', first erected by Constantine Sam ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tulista Pumila
''Tulista pumila'' ("Vratjiesaalwee") is a species of ''Tulista'' succulent plant, from the Western Cape, South Africa. It was formerly placed in the genus ''Haworthia'', as ''Haworthia pumila'' or ''Haworthia maxima''. Description It is an evergreen, winter-growing succulent plant with sharp succulent leaves arranged in rosettes of 20 cm in diameter. The leaves are hard, upright, sometimes incurved and are usually covered with raised white tubercles. It is a variable species, with different populations differing in the leaf shape, colour, growth form and tubercles.

Phylogenetic
In biology, phylogenetics (; from Greek φυλή/ φῦλον [] "tribe, clan, race", and wikt:γενετικός, γενετικός [] "origin, source, birth") is the study of the evolutionary history and relationships among or within groups of organisms. These relationships are determined by Computational phylogenetics, phylogenetic inference methods that focus on observed heritable traits, such as DNA sequences, protein amino acid sequences, or morphology. The result of such an analysis is a phylogenetic tree—a diagram containing a hypothesis of relationships that reflects the evolutionary history of a group of organisms. The tips of a phylogenetic tree can be living taxa or fossils, and represent the "end" or the present time in an evolutionary lineage. A phylogenetic diagram can be rooted or unrooted. A rooted tree diagram indicates the hypothetical common ancestor of the tree. An unrooted tree diagram (a network) makes no assumption about the ancestral line, and does ...

World Checklist Of Selected Plant Families
The World Checklist of Selected Plant Families (usually abbreviated to WCSP) is an "international collaborative programme that provides the latest peer reviewed and published opinions on the accepted scientific names and synonyms of selected plant families." Maintained by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, it is available online, allowing searches for the names of families, genera and species, as well as the ability to create checklists. The project traces its history to work done in the 1990s by Kew researcher Rafaël Govaerts on a checklist of the genus ''Quercus''. Influenced by the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation, the project expanded. , 173 families of seed plants were included. Coverage of monocotyledon families is complete; other families are being added. There is a complementary project called the International Plant Names Index (IPNI), in which Kew is also involved. The IPNI aims to provide details of publication and does not aim to determine which are accepted spec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
