Adromischus are succulent plants also endemic to southern Africa, so they too require the shelter of a frost-free greenhouse in the UK and similar climatic areas.

The best colouration and compact growth is achieved when they are given good light conditions, such as those found on the top bench or high shelf of a lightly shaded UK greenhouse.

They form part of the Crassulaceae family and are closely related to the genera Cotyledon and Tylocodon.

Taxonomy

Taxonomy is a filing system, produced by scientists, in order to enable us to communicate thoughts and ideas to one another concerning relationships between various plants and groups.

It is mostly very helpful to us but cannot be wholly accurate when discussing nature as it evolves and develops.

The following taxonomy pages are based upon Volume 14 (Crassulaceae) of the 'Flora of Southern Africa' by Tölken and also the eminently readable and profusely illustrated Cactus File Handbook 3 by John Pilbeam, Chris Rodgerson and Derek Tribble.

Tölken had divided the genus into five sections based upon floral characteristics in his major revision and classification, and this is expanded upon in The Cactus File Handbook 3 - Adromischus.

The taxonomy pages and are intended for my own education and reference during the building of the Adromischus pages; hopefully, they may be of assistance to you too.
