He have described a new species in the genus in 1998. Williamson, G. 1998. A new Tylecodon Species (Crassulaceae). Cactus and Succculent Journal 70:127-128. In future you can use the excellent database of tropical flora at mobot to find the authors of genuses and species. http://mobot.mobot.org/W3T/Search/vast.html Ingar |

For those of you who are not professional botanists, you may be interested to
know that Tylecodon is an anagram of Cotyledon, which is the genus it was split off from. Botanists somtimes use this little trick when describing a new genus.

Iris Cohen schreef For those of you who are not professional botanists, you may be interested to know that Tylecodon is an anagram of Cotyledon, which is the genus it was split off from. Botanists somtimes use this little trick when describing a new genus. Iris + + + Happens often (Tecoma and Cotema, Albizia and Balizia, etc). It is a device to help remember and place a new genus. Another form is to add a prefix (Neo-, Para-, Pseudo-, Notho- etc, etc) or a ending (like -opsis). The fun starts when such genera prove to be not closely related (Tsuga and Pseudotsuga) or even belong to different families (Cedrela and Cedrelopsis)! By the way what may be even less obvious to "not professional botanists" is that Cotyledon is a technical plant term used in morphology and thus is potentially confusing. Using such a technical plant term as the name of a genus is therefore not allowed for new names (after 31 December 1911. Art 20.2). Encountering such a name means that it is a fairly old name, in this case by Linnaeus (actually Tournefort, but he does not count). In a sense it is comparable to Latin cultivar epithets. New cultivar epithets in Latin can not be published since 1 January 1959 (17.9). Encountering a Latin cultivar epithet means encountering a cultivar of decades old (unless it is an existing personal or geographic name, or if it used to be a species or infraspecific taxon sensu ICBN).

Graham Williamson described a few new species but it is Ernst Van Jaarsveld
at Kirstenbosch who is writting a book on Tylecodon and Cotyledon due out sometime in 2003. Ingar P. wrote in message ... Michael F.

Do a Google search and you will be surprised who did a review of the genus.
The review is overdue for an update because new species are continually being described for the genus. Michael F. McNulty wrote in message ... Does anyone know anyone that knows a lot about the genus Tylecodon? Michael McNulty |

There's certainly nothing on the web more useful than the piece done by Stephen
Jankalski. Here's the URL: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Fatpla...20REVISED.html While we're talking, was Tylecodon hallii named after this man? (seems unlikely...) "hallii: after Harvey Monroe Hall (1874-1932), who was born in Illinois, and was an authority on the Asteraceae of Southern California, a graduate of and professor of botany at the University of California, and a pioneer in experimental taxonomy. He was the author in 1902 of A Botanical Survey of San Jacinto Mountain, and was a collector of plants in the Mt. Pinos region in 1905 and on Santa Cruz Island in 1908. He was placed in charge of the University of California Herbarium at Berkeley in 1902, became an instructor in botany in 1903, and subsequently became an assistant professor and then an associate professor in 1916. In 1919 he joined the Carnegie Institution in Washington, which established its Division of Plant Biology on the Stanford Campus, where he also became a professor of botany. At the same time he became Honorary Curator of the University of California Herbarium, a position which lasted until 1932. After a trip to Europe in 1929 to study natural reserves, he proposed the creation of "Natural Areas," and specifically the White Mountains and Harvey Monroe Hall research areas near Yosemite National Park (ref. Caulanthus hallii, Galium hallii, Grindelia hallii, Tetracoccus hallii)" Cereoid+10 wrote: Do a Google search and you will be surprised who did a review of the genus.

No, it was named after the famous South African plantsman and plant
collector Harry Hall (1906-1986), as were a number of southern African succulents and bulbs. He was born in Liverpool, England, emigrated to South Africa in 1947 and became a botanist at National Botanic Garden in Kirstenbosch, S Africa. He was awarded a FELLOW of USA CSSA in 1981.

I think it's a phishing troll. He posted a different question in another newsgroup. Iris, Central NY, Zone 5a, Sunset Zone 40 "When you come to a fork in the road, take it." Yogi Berra |
