Adromischus is a genus of flowering plants. They are easily-propagated, leaf succulents from the family Crassulaceae, which are endemic to southern Africa. The name comes from the ancient Greek adros (=thick) and mischos (=stem).[1]
Species
The species of Adromischus are divided into five sections, based on their shared characteristics and relationships:[2][3]
Section 1 (Adromischus)
Flowers bright green, tubular, with short, wide, triangular, recurved lobes. Anthers protrude from a flower tube. Indigenous mainly to the western, winter-rainfall regions of South Africa.
Section 2 (Boreali)
Grooved, tubular flowers, with ovate-triangular, recurved lobes that are undulated on the margins. Anthers protrude from flower tube. Indigenous to the arid, summer-rainfall interior of Southern Africa.
Section 3 (Brevipedunculati)
Grooved, funnel-shaped flowers with acuminate-triangular, widely spreading lobes, born on long stalks. Inflorescence branched. Usually spreading or stoloniferous plants.
Section 4 (Incisilobati)
Tubular flowers with elongated lanceolate-triangular lobes. Plants with short, compact, upright stems.
Section 5 (Longipedunculati)
Pale or pubescent inflorescence with elongated, lanceolate-triangular lobes.
So-called Adromischus oviforme specimens are actually Adromischus filicaulis subsp. marlothii; Adromischus oviforme doesn't actually exist.
