Translation
editThis article was clearly translated by an inexperienced speaker of English. Please consider revising (I believe the original article was in Italian). I have posted pictures to enhance the article, but I am not educated in botany, therefore I can do nothing more. I will re-word whatever text I can with my limited knowledge of the subject.

- Wow, it seems as if someone simply ran it through Google translator or something like that. I did a major culling of information that was most likely a copyvio and was how-to (WP:NOT) information anyway. Information regarding the number of species may be off a bit. I gathered the info from the IPNI, but sometimes the species listed are really synonyms for other plants. As I don't have any available resources regarding these plants (no books on succulents and academic papers through JSTOR were no help), I left the appropriate information in the article but without a source. Hope someone else is able to expand it. --Rkitko (talk) 18:48, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

- http://www.biologie.uni-ulm.de/cgi-bin/system/botsys.pl?id=802&stufe=G&typ=PFL&sid=T&only=no&syno=no&lang=e has a longer list that is presumably the basis for the longer species list. It would be nice to know what happened to all those, whether they are synonyms or moved to other genera. Stan 13:15, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
frame of reference for the picture
editHi - could Stan Shebs tell us what size the pot is that the plant is in, to give a sense of the scale? thanks.--Richardson mcphillips (talk) 03:17, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
- A 4-inch pot, and the visible part of the plant here is about 6 inches across. Stan (talk) 13:02, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Species
editCan we get pages or atleast notes on the separate species? I'm not plant expert, but I know a few are out there. [ inb4 "personal army" ] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.116.129.191 (talk) 20:49, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
