Abstract

Flowering Plants of Africa Volume 68 2023 includes 20 papers each with a coloured plate, eight of which feature succulents. Fourteen of the plates are by the exceptionally talented artist Gillian Condy who, although now retired, has contributed over 400 plates to the series. Seven of the papers are by Gideon Smith and his collaborators and treat the following: Aloe labiaflava Groenewald (t.2381, South Africa), Aloiampelos tenuior var. ernstii Gideon F.Sm. & Figueiredo (t.2382, South Africa), Kalanchoe daigremontiana Raym.-Hamet & H.Perrier (t.2386, Madagascar), Kalanchoe luciae Raym.-Hamet (t.2387, southern and south-tropical Africa), Kalanchoe neglecta Toelken (t.2388, southern Africa), Kalanchoe orgyalis Baker (t.2389, Madagascar) and Kalanchoe ^xestrelae Gideon F.Sm. (t.2390, South Africa). The paper by D. Vaz De Sousa and collaborators deals with Ceropegia lineariloba Bruyns (t.2396, South Africa), which in the narrower sense will be more familiar to readers as either Quaqua linearis (N.E.Br.) Bruyns or Caralluma linearis N.E.Br.
