Klappentext: "In this book the author
unfolds the history of these little treasures; shows us the plants in habitat, a necessary step if we are to
understand their requirements in cultivation; illustrates their distribution; introduces us to their powers
of self-hiding and enlightens us about the precipitation they receive in the wild. He takes us in the
greenhouse and advises us how to best cultivate lithops, from pollinating the plants to seed-raising, from
light requirements to resting the plants. Accompanying the photos are descriptions, distribution and other
notes for each species, including observations on any cultivars for that species."

Namaqualand: A Succulent Desert
von Richard Cowling (Text), Shirley Pierce (Text) & Colin Paterson-Jones (Fotos), Vorworte von Steve Bales, Ian Macdonald
& Peter H. Raven
Klappentext: "From dwarf species
barely a few millimetres tall to trees several metres high, the range of succulent plants in this seemingly
desolate region is unrivalled in both its extent and its variety of forms. Tiny plants that resemble
flowering stones dot a plain of quartz; a minute 'garden' fills a rock crevice; an exuberant burst of vygies
colours a patch of veld. About a third of the 3000 or so plant species in Namaqualand are succulents, and
they include the largest concentration of miniature succulent species in the world. But there is much more.
Namaqualand's bulb flora is the richest of any arid region on earth: amaryllids, irids, lilies and many
more, all presenting an astonishing diversity of colour and form. Add to these the spectacular vistas of
spring-flowering annuals for which Namaqualand is most famous, and the result is a truly remarkable flora,
unrivalled elsewhere on earth. Yet for many years it has been overshadowed by the Cape Floral Kingdom to the
south. In this exploration of a harsh wonderland, Richard Cowling and Shirley Pierce embark on redressing
the balance, and in doing so discover climatic and other factors that have contributed to Namaqualand's rich
flora. They reveal intriguing details of how plants survive a range of adverse conditions and, following the
cycle of seasons, they highlight extraordinary facets of the plants' reproduction, including intricate
relationships with insect pollinators. Complementing the text, Colin Paterson-Jones's magnificent
photographs capture the vibrant colours of Namaqualand's flora, in both panorama and detail conveying the
essence of this awe-inspiring land."

Pinguone, Kenya
Succulents and their Environment
von Rudolf Schulz & Anne Powys
Gebundene Ausgabe, 160 Seiten, 310
Farbfotos, Schwarzweißillustrationen, Karten Schulz Publishing
(Australien), Februar 1998, ISBN 0-9585167-0-7
Verleger: "Welcome to the first in a
series of books dealing with succulent plants and their environment. Rather than use the traditional
approach of studying a single succulent genus we are examining in this book a specific area of Kenya and
focusing on its diverse succulent flora. We will present an overview of the environment: first of the
country, then of the district, finally detailing various aspects of the private ranch 'Pinguone' (pronounced
pin-gwin). We have chosen to write and organize our book on three levels. Firstly, we have used habitat
photographs to give a representation of a fascinating and beautiful environment which we would like to share
on a pictorial level with our readers. Secondly, the text is written on a jargon-free level understandable
to both general readers who are not well versed in succulent details but will still provide specifics for
those with detailed interests. Mostly, we want to present some thoughts on the dynamics of this environment
and how it has and will change over time as a result of the complex and fascinating interactions between
plants, animals and the environment. As an addition to this book we are offering a comprehensive seed list
for those who want to obtain and grow correctly labeled and habitat identified plants. Understanding the
natural environment of plants should lead to a better understanding of their growth requirements which will
allow the amateur enthusiast to maintain a healthier plant collection. The plants from Pinguone are, for the
most part, very adaptable in their requirements and should be able to be grown in most frost-free
environments. Included in our investigations of succulents are some plants which are usually considered
trees, bulbs or vines. These 'honorary' succulents include several bulbs, numerous caudiciforms with
underground tubers and several thick-trunked tree species. Such plants are often favored and easily grown by
the succulent enthusiast and make an interesting addition to many plant collections."
