MARCH 2012 CONTENTS:
Front cover: Opuntia fragilis. In 1818 Thomas Nuttall, a Yorkshire-born printer by trade, described Cactus fragifis, renamed a year later by Adrian Haworth. as Opuntia fragilis. This cactus shows a blatant disregard to efforts of taxonomists who still debate the status of plants to which this name has been appended. In this issue. Dixie Dringman leads us through the scablands of the Columbia River to introduce this floriferous plant and investigate its hybridisation with other Opuntoids. Photo: Dixie Dringman |
